Cars are coming along and hopefully will be ready for a test drive by next Thursday, March 10th. I will also try to have the series schedule ready by the 10th.
All participants that have not yet paid their fees ($40) need to do so. Also, please vote on the poll, the deadline will be the first series race.
I’m taking pictures of everything that had to be done to the car, I will write some sort of a guide at the end. Here is a preview:
I’m up for it, I will clear a week around those dates and hopefully nothing wrong will happen until then.
I guess I will need to buy some Scaleauto and Avant Slot models, not to mention a BRM .. this is going to cost a few bucks :|.
Brian,
Shawn had already suggested to race the F1’s @ 10Volts and he was right about it. Yesterday we raced Trans-Ams and apparently the motors had been broken-in … it was fast @ 10Volts. Marty was the only one that stayed on the track @ 12Volts, he had already set the car for that voltage with some weight. In the end we agreed to change it to 10 Volts.

Nice one Roy, anything named after a mustache is funny :lol:.
Here are some names for evaluation:
T 1: Runway
T 2: Balena Carousel, Peraltada
T 3: Senna S, Schumackers
T 4: Bonsai Terrace, Casino Terrace
T 5: Zorro Bend/Kink, Cowboy Bend/Kink
T 6/T 7: Sunset Bend, Victory Parabólica
T 8: Blind Man’s StraightI’m bringing this topic back to life.
Some of the members have previously tried to name the turns but we did not fully agree with some of the names.
This time around we could do it by vote. Any member interested in naming the turns would reply this topic with the list of turn numbers and their consecutive name.
To refresh your memory:

Kings may have sold all their 25ohm Parma controllers. You can always ask them to order you one.
If you need it asap, Professor Motor, HotSlots132 & PowerSlotCars.com are some of the vendors I have used in the past.Good news!
We have six confirmed entries.
I will be collecting the $40 entry fee this Saturday (2/26) and next Thursday (3/3).A suggestion has been made to auction two of the slot cars used, with the third going as a prize for the overall series winner. Please vote on the new poll.
The slot cars for this series will be Slot.it McLaren F1’s. Full parts list bellow:
Item Cost Qty Total Slot.it McLaren F1 - CA10Z 49.99 3 149.97 Slot.it Sidewinder Kit - KK13 17.99 3 53.97 Slot.it Wood Guide - CH07 5.99 3 17.97 Slot.it 20X11 P6 - PT25 8.99 3 26.97 Slot.it Pinions - TBD 3.99 2 7.98 86.95 256.86I’m guessing that it will take $25~40 for box plates. With approximately $200 for cars & tune-up I would probably go with Slot.it. When you add $50 per car, guide, tires & pinion/gear — it will be tight, some upgrades may not make the cut.
Regardless of the brand, I will buy GT cars, this way we can end the series before the GT unlimited and the club members can buy the models we used.
There are 26 Thursdays from April to September; assuming we can get this going in April (maybe a week earlier), the series would be over before GT started.
I’m not going to worry about schedule if there is no interested in the class. That said, we could race it every other Thursday, the off-Thursday can be used for BRM.
I have no problem doing it.
Last race Marty was late and I did the inspection, Marty may want to do it this time.The local sign shop told me that they cannot produce the new design.
I’m searching for a shop capable of producing it and I will let the club know the costs as soon as I can.BTW, I have revised the design, check below:
