New Series Ideas

[Autorama]

A new El-Piloto series to be raced on Saturdays where all the participants would setup a car of their choice (any car class as long as it is closed cockpit). On a racing day we could draw which cars to be raced or create a table before the series start. The same concept of El Piloto would be used, the cars stay on the lane and the drivers rotate.

PROTOSLOT
Ferrari 375MM

[Autorama]

Oops … forget about it. Body only for about $110 — no way Jose.

[Bellator]

We’re running the big-dog BRM’s this year… Anyone interested in a Scale Auto modern GT series next year?  (I call dibs on the Jag.)  

Build it strong.
Keep it simple.
Make it work.

[Race Control]

Yes and I call the Lizard Porsche.

[Autorama]

I will get the BMW to be released.

I have already pre-ordered the Felbermayr Proton Porsche.  They look like tons of fun.  Anyone up for a larger track?  Say 100′ plus?

A Lizard!?  You’re going to race a pre-painted livery?!  

Build it strong.
Keep it simple.
Make it work.

[Race Control]

I already do that with the BRM so not a HUGE surprise there.  

[Autorama]

“Anyone up for a larger track?  Say 100′ plus?” Not Magnatech.

Now; are you talking about a new ASCC 4/5 lane, 100+ feet track?

Regarding Scale Auto: Can we set up rules in such way that someone can use a carrera body with a scaleauto chassis?

[porsche917]

Second track or new longer one with more lanes?

Marty

[Autorama]

Let’s do it.

I will hate to see our current track go … hopefully we can find a new home for it; close by.

[Race Control]

Trust me, Ary.  I would love to have the space at home for that track.  I just firmly believe that a garage is for $20k+ cars and not $1500 worth of stuff.
