“Are we keeping the track in the air conditioned part of Kings and moving the models to the back?
I tought about a track like that for a larger event, we would need to rent a venue for it.
Btw, the track does not need to have 8 lanes, you can order as many lanes as you want.
Huhmmm….. interesting riddle … he was going to run with six but only four are allowed …. I’ll have to think about that one.
We need to see what the rest of the gang will say. I would participate in any proxy that does not allow Silicone tires.
As far as I remember, this is what has changed:
- Cars from 1959 to 1969.
- Podded chassis are not allowed.
- Inline setup mandatory.
- All cars to use the same motor: 14.5K, available from M/T Racing Resins for U$ 7.00. Open motor.
- RTR or scratch-built cars are allowed. Body must be manufactured as 1/32 scale, and may be injection molded or resin cast. No vacuumed formed or blow molded bodies allowed.
- Plastic or resin chassis only – commercial or scratch-built. Chassis may be cut or lengthened to fit aftermarket body.
- Weight may be placed above chassis.
- Minimum interior requirements are:
- Helmeted 3D driver figure, with representation of at least head, shoulders, and arms.
- Driver shall be positioned somewhere near where he would be in real life (ie-in proper seating area and able to “see” out the windshield).
- Interior, with representation of at least dashboard top and rear shelf, as appropriate to actual car (Lightweight materials may be used).
- Interior must be so that one cannot see drivetrain (motor, gears, axle, driveshaft-etc) when looking in through windows.
- Must have full windshield and full rear window. Must also have any rear passenger windows in place. Windows may be vacuum formed.Only the windows in the doors, both sides, may be removed
- There are limitations to the wheels & tires but I cannot remember.
Guys,
The date has been set, let me know if you can help.
Thursday, May 24 – 6 to 9pm
I will run the qualifying one week before:
Thursday, May 17 – 7pm.
Thanks guys.
Brian, that was the car I was running Thursday night.
The N22 tires seem to work well. I had to change the motor and ended-up not running any comparison tests between P6, N22 & F30 — will do it later and let you guys know which works best.
The younger sister to my Petrobras Lancia is ready for debut.
The paint job came out a lot nicer this time around. Here she is:
BTW: We need quotation for or forums.
It seems like a good plan to get everything started. The next think to do is to forecast how many members will be active (will be participating of most races), and build the track accordingly. If you build a track with 8 lanes, this means you will need more than 8 members in order to have a race with corner marshals.
