Timing is working on the Rally Track.

(Leroy Grumman)Found this great site dedicated to the Targa Florio. The collection of photos is the best I have ever found.

(Leroy Grumman)I will be fielding this gal, the number 216 Lola T70 MKIII driven in the 1967 Targa Florio. (Assuming the Fly body meets the scale specs.)
Model: Fly Lola white kit.
Decals from: Le Mans Decals. They have a dedicated Targa Florio section

(Leroy Grumman)Thanks. And yes, a bit louder than I like, but the Carrera track does amplify the noise some. I’m interested to see how the G25 compound does on the other tracks. It seemed to make the car a bit tail-happy on the plastic.

(Leroy Grumman)The Viper has landed in the UK at Graham Edward’s track and had its shakedown run. Looks like it might be competitive.
Video here and numbers here.

(Leroy Grumman)I’m torn on this one. My science-guy mind says, wow! Fun experiment! But then the practical side of me says 1) many of our deslots were, arguably, caused by the strong downforce, and 2) it can be controlled by tire diameter.
We could check for minimum ride height at the beginning and end of the race with penalties assessed for violations after the race, but that increases the burden on the race manager.
Like Russel said, a bit of a hole to go down.
I am interested to see what Kim’s Ferrari measures at…

(Leroy Grumman)Riffing off of Steve’s work (to which I get an “Access Denied” message, but I’m sure that’s just due to my dysfunctional relationship with Google). I merged and deduplicated the cars and then created a table indicating which year(s) they ran. Image of that table below and attached the Excel workbook for those that want to sort and filter.

(Leroy Grumman)I’ll be campaigning this race-worn little guy.

(Leroy Grumman)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.
