I want to apologize gor being grumpy. Kinda stressful these days, should not have vented here.

-Warren ZevonOTOH, if the carpet monster eats a body screw, that sends me to Alan at scale racing.com ti order a replacement which may or may not show up in time for the race, while i have virtually identical screws, save the drive style in my kit.
AS far as the unfair advantage goes. A spec race really ought to have spec controllers if it is to have any meaning. Perhaps spec races should specify the use of the club controllers to level the playing field.

-Warren ZevonAs far as body screws, though, the stock screws are just M2 Phillips, right? The brass, I’m guessing, is slotted. So, no hex or torx? I don’t see the rationale.

-Warren ZevonDavid, are we going to limit motor layout to inline, or will you open it up to sidewinder? Since this is supposed to be the open series.

-Warren ZevonAgain about fasteners. The rules state:
All chassis screws must be stock and be in place at the start of every race.
Body screws can be either the stock screws or the brass replacement screws (RS-213b).
As i have mentioned, i have gotten a 510 with badly stamped motor pod screws. Why can’t I use fasteners from my parts bins if they are the same size/thread? Seems am odd thing to be anal about.

"Enjoy every sandwich"
-Warren ZevonThis is all very academic at this point, but I would like to look into the possibility of re-bodying the chassis PROVIDED the new (printed) body A: contains all the detail elements of the Revo (driver, roll-cage, glazing, etc) B: The donor chassis is not cut or altered in any way. C: The replacement body weighs no less than the body it is replacing.
At this point I don’t know if it is feasible, but it would be cool to see some Pintos and Gremlins out on the track 🙂
"Enjoy every sandwich"
-Warren ZevonI see that I can use a Slot.it inline pod. Will that be allowed?
"Enjoy every sandwich"
-Warren ZevonWith the Racer/Sideways GRP 5, I am not seeing any new cars with an inline configuration, only angle winder. Only angle winder motor pods as well. That being the case, will the series be open to angle winder? Some of us don’t have cars yet, and some of us (ahem) Ordered a car and did not find out until looking underneath.

-Warren ZevonI guess the major decisions left with regards to 2025 series are scheduling, race managers, and rules.
I volunteer to be race manager for Targa Florio, and I nominate Randy to be race manager for th Revoslot SCCA B Sedan (Group 2)
"Enjoy every sandwich"
-Warren ZevonAn advantage to having only one rally event is it leaves more track idle time for scenic work to continue.
Group C is more a source of frustration than enjoyment for me, so I won’t miss it.
I am looking for a group 5 car as well. And I thought the Moslers were ugly!

-Warren ZevonIs this where the polling results will be posted? (They were sent out on the mailing list). Will there be new thread set up?
"Enjoy every sandwich"
-Warren ZevonSome Cars available for the 67-69 Targa Florio:
SCX has a Lancia Fulvia, and a Fiat 124, George Turner has an MGC-GT kit. I will post more as I find them.
There are also the Ford FT350, and Lola T70 from Thunderbolt, but they are too far out of scale.
"Enjoy every sandwich"
-Warren ZevonIf we were to go for a fairly wide slice of time, say from 1966 to 1972, that would give us a wide variety of cars to chose from, including cars many of us already have, including the Slot.it Ford Gt40 and Chaparral, Policar Ferrari 330P3, NSR Porsche 908.
Among other entrants are:
Porsche 911
Ferrari 312PB
Alfa Romeo 33/3
Porsche 907Some more info, links to an Italian site:
