Last year I had a lot of trouble getting my magnetic downforce within spec. Does anyone know if rotating the motor 180 degrees might make a difference?

-Warren ZevonHere is a proposal for a series using both the rally and road tracks.
NSR Porsche 997 challenge. (Box stock series) Stock chassis motor and pod, wheels, NSR tires. Can change out guide for another NSR guide, Ballast OK, that’s about it.
Race format: 60 laps on road track,(lane TBD by lot) or 40 laps on rally track.
Track choice to be determined by coin toss AFTER TECH.

-Warren ZevonMaybe three 20 minute heats for the endurance race would make more sense, what with there being three lanes.

-Warren ZevonLast race some of us were kicking around the idea of an endurance race series. Here is an idea for that:
Slot.it Group C endurance race series
Spec series with car rules very close to, or identical to previous group C series.
Race format would be something like this. Races held on road track. There cars, Three teams, four 15 minute heats. I think that would be enough to give everyone a turn at the wheel.
Also, Would like to continue Targa Florio with the 1970-1974 epoch. Open series. Many cars that people have previously run in other series would be eligible, such as DeThomaso PAntera, BMW 2002, Renault Alpine A10, Lancia Stratos, Porsche 911, Fiat 124, Porsche 908, Alfa T33/3, and others.
Rules very similar to current series, but most likely doing away with the confusing scale calculation.

First apologies. It seems I was going on bad data when looking at Thunderbolts for the Targa Florio. Marty checked on his own, and indeed the Thunderbolt Lola coupe is legal for the series. Sorry for the mess-up, I will do better in future.

-Warren ZevonCouple questions about current official rules posted.
Are we still limited to sideways and slot.it guides as it says in rules, or is the series open?
Is it okay to coat fronts with Nail varnish? I ask since it is very different than oil soaking.
Thanks 🙂

-Warren ZevonKim,
Thunderbolt cars are too over-scale with wise, so they will not be eligible.
The slot it or NST GT40 are fine.-Marc

-Warren ZevonStarting work on the Targa rules. Series is going to be pretty wide-open setup wise, but will be cracking down on grossly overscale (over wide) models. Attaching a sample scale worksheet form in pages and word formats.
Randy, if it was entered in the targa, it’s eligible.

-Warren ZevonKim,
i did put a grub screw in the plastic fronts to facilitate triune (They spin on the spindle for me otherwise) But have not used the screws in the race, they seem to stay on okay."Enjoy every sandwich"
-Warren ZevonI would be interested to know if the Magnet Marshal as any real world correlation with actual magnetic downforce on our track. One is a large steel bar, flush with the scale’s surface, and the other is a small steel wire embedded in copper braid, slightly below the track surface. Is it all just snake oil anyway?
