      On Sept 10 we had our Sept meeting. A Word version of these minutes will be uploaded shortly.

      RALLY —  The biggest discussion was around the rally race.  The track may not be ready for the Oct start date, but we decided to race anyway, starting on the existing Fig-8.  Marty will finalize the schedule, such as night race, reverse direction race, etc. Night race(s) will benefit from optional lights.  Rules also need to be finalized, such as whether scoring is based on how many laps are completed within a time limit (5 minute heats?) or how long it takes to complete X laps.

      Cars – the legal cars list remains the same, but it has been discovered that the Lancia Delta S4 is about 3mm wider than many of the other bodies.

      Wheels – Marty is revising the rules; the CB design wheels will not be the only ones allowed.

      Again, this is a summary – a more accurate set of minutes will be uploaded shortly.

At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
