        The race voltage change (11v) has been approved by vote and I have updated the official rules document found here.

          I think we’re all getting pretty good a tuning a chassis. Granted, the only Fly cars I have right now are shelf-queens, I’m certainly open to picking one up to tune and race as long as the rules constrain our selections to keep everything fairly competitive.  If we come up with an “approved list” of cars it could be driver’s choice. Following along with Ary’s proxy rules idea…

          So yeah… let’s keep the event ideas flowing and follow up with the elible car list, rules, etc…

            Targa Florio… 

            Years?

            Cars?

            Single or team?

            Fill in the blanks!

              I like the proxy rule idea.  A team prep’d car that conforms to specs such as motor choice, minimum weight, etc…

                  Yep, that’s what I’m talking about.  We can select three representative cars, apply a bit of tuning, and then run the wheels off of them.  I think it would be fun to come up with some creative scoring as well, so it’s a bit more than a race to 1000.  I’m thinking best individual lap, best team lap, best averages, etc…

                    Spread the body with a toothpick, applied heat with a blow dryer, let cool, and all seems well.  Smile

                      If I tried that it would look more like the output from an EKG.  Laughing

                        Two thumbs up!

                        Great stats to rattle off when some football nut tries to tell me that race drivers aren’t athletes!  

                        The only thing I think they left out was the temperature inside the cockpit.

                                  The new Mazda 787B is due in early next week too. I have one set set aside already. 😉
