My ride for this race.

[Kim]

I am trying to wrap my head around an NSR up against a ThunderSlot, Slot.It, or Fly. I think Fly has the most authentic looking Targa Florio models. But, I don’t know a thing about Fly. Haven’t owned one. NSR models seem big for the Rally track. I have a …

ThunderSlot 350 1967 CAN-AM, Chris Amon #23, Riverside
ThunderSlot Lola T70 MK 3 1968, Patrick Jorden #9, Sebring
Slot.It Ford GT40 1966 MK 2, Ken Miles and Danny Hulme #1, Le Mans

All three have the same wheel base and tire size. The 350 seems smaller but it is not. Women look thinner in red or black. ThunderSlots have the 21,500 rpm motor and the Slot.It has a 23,000. I am assuming I can run any of these 3 cars. Right?

And, someone who’s more familiar with the rally track, what tires?

[Kim]

Has anyone drilled the front wheels and used a grub screw to tight front wheels onto the axle? Also, would that be legal?

[Kim]

Oh, one more thing. I may have only one car I can race. My CA00106S/W, Lola T70 MKIII is not listed but others are like the CA00101S/W. Can I race mine?

[Kim]

The rules call for “OEM Guide (GU001) and new THGU00 deep wood guide allowed”. Can I use the GU002?

GUIDE FLAG WITH SCREW 2mm x 8mm, Part: GU001 -or-
GUIDE FLAG WITH SCREW 2mm x 8mm FOR CARRERA AND WOODEN TRACKS, Part: GU002 (LEB is the only retailer with this guide in stock)

I have a question about wheels and tires are these the OEM ThunderSlot wheels and tires? Can I use any of these?

Lola T70 MKIII, CAN-AM 350, Lola T70 CAN-AM

Wheels – Front
NYLON FRONT RIMS, Part RMF001PL

Wheels – Rear
ALUMINIUM REAR RIMS, Part RMR003AL

Here’s my ride.

[Kim]

I own the RevoSlot RS0210 Toyota GT – 1. It’s yellow with green, #99.

[Kim]

I hope we will allow angle winder configuration. I have the BMW 320 Fruit of the Loom livery I want to run, and it is an angle winder.

[Kim]

How much longer are we leaving the poll open? I am wondering about the results.

[Kim]

What livery is your 1970 Targa Floria Porsche 908?

[Kim]

I am excited! Let’s vote so I can go shopping!

[Kim]

Just to clarify, the Porsche spec race, we should standardize on the sidewinder because the “anglewinder” is more difficult to tune?

[Kim]

I have a couple of questions that might influence my voting.

For the NSR 997 Road or Rally track proposed race, is there a limitation on whether it is a sidewinder or anglewinder?

For the Revoslot, Group 2 race, I could run my Datsun 510, correct?

And last, if selected, any advice on what to run for the Racer Sideways Group 5? I am such a threat on the track I know you will be hesitant to advise. 😉
