Let’s keep it simple at spring or no spring.

(Leroy Grumman)The only gears that RevoSlot provides for the Toyota are the ones it ships with, plus a solid ergal crown that is the same pitch and diameter. (And color, red)
I ordered all the combos only to realize that this is spelled out quite clearly on the spec sheet in the box. 🙁

(Leroy Grumman)Marc, those are just the body post to body plate screws being called out. Not the screws holding the motor pod or body plate to chassis plate.

(Leroy Grumman)I am truing tires today and plan to go down to the club to test voltages for the Toyota with stock gearing and body float tomorrow or Friday. I have a provisional 12.5v in the rules right now, but that may change depending on my testing.
In my opinion, the Toyotas should run quicker than the SCCA Sedans, they were, after all, in the top classes (GT1 followed by LMGTP prototypes) at Le Mans. The end-goal I’m after is to have two different styles of racing, appropriate to the cars on the track.

(Leroy Grumman)Take note that I updated the rules this morning to include available gearing and body post bumpers.

(Leroy Grumman)I intend to run a white kit but will also be running the “Purple” livery (Some might say “Pink”) to test tires and such and will run it in the event something goes sideways with my white kit body prep. If anyone else wants to run this color let us know.

(Leroy Grumman)Randy, I like that idea for this series. I have counted 11 different colors plus a white kit. (Each white on red color comes in three liveries, but difficult to distinguish on the track)

(Leroy Grumman)NSR 997 Spec Race
Brining the topic back to the surface regarding flipping a coin to determine which track to run on for each race in the series.
Marc and I have exchanged thoughts on this and think that if we stuck to a simple podium / points standard the scoring is simplified and standardized between tracks. This does leave the possibility of ties, but I think coming up with at tie breaker rubric would not be that challenging. For example: make the differentiator the total number of laps on the road track divided by the total time in seconds on the rally track, largest number wins the place.
Thoughts?

(Leroy Grumman)Note: I edited the original list to add ‘Sidewinder’ to the NSR 997 entries. If anyone objects please speak up.
Also note that there are still angle-winder cars on the candidate list. The Toyota GT One, and the Revslot Group 2’s.

(Leroy Grumman)Hi Kim,
For the Porsche spec race I think we should standardize on the sidewinder chassis. It is more “correct” for the car and simplifies setup to some extent. We have struggled getting sidewinders tuned to our track, although not impossible.
Yes to the Datsun 510.
Will need another member to weigh in on the group 5 car. I will be campaigning an M1, but I haven’t run this series in many years and never with a Racer Sideways chassis so can’t offer any help here.

(Leroy Grumman)The second is similar to the first in that it would be a spec series. But this time with Porsche 991.2 cars from ScaleAuto. Again, a lot of cars available as well as decals for custom liveries. There are even a set of ScaleAuto Cup Edition liveries if we wanted to revive the El Piloto series for next year.

(Leroy Grumman)I have two candidate series for next year:
The first is a ScaleAuto Formula 90-97 spec series. There are a lot of options and Pattos has a lot of decals for those of us who like to do custom liveries.
