Those are some great times! What did you do to get the times that low? I know you were looking at lowering the front and getting another chassis. Did you complete those changes? Was there anyone else running on the track when you were there?

Clyde,
I have a routing bit for braid if that is the direction you are going to go with your track. Let me know and you can use it.
Good Luck,
MartyI am really curious to see if our track can really run a 1/24 scale car. I know the lane spacing is good but we have been running wide and into the guard rail on the straight before the really tight south end turn. Let me know when you run it and how it goes.
Marty
I had a Scalextric car that was similar to that. It would only work on Scalextric track but it would take two laps to learn the track then you could race against it. It would stay on the track most of the time and gave you a good partner to race against especially if you did not have anyone else to race against.
Help me understand where the fun is? Other than giving you a rabbit to chase I don’t get it. Didn’t the FIA ban technology like this?
Marty
Can everyone check in and let see who all is going to be there on Saturday for our first race. I am also curious if everyone has their Slot It Challenge cars ready to go. Are you coming and what car do you plan on running?
I will be there and will be running the Jaguar XJR9, #60.
Marty
I think its best to wait for Brian to be back to have our first race.
Ary – do you still have the awards from this last weekend? Those would be great for member awards this Saturday.
Scale Model Supplies is not a great slot car shop. Yes, they have a track but they only allow people on it on Friday night. Similar to Kings, its in the back of the shop and they don’t rent out time on it. Its basically a club track. Its a great shop for models and trains but not so much for cars.
Marty
I still have one Slot It controller equiped with an XLR plug ready to sell. $70 takes it home.
Marty
The only thing that would make that story better is if they were racing in the AMLS. Still very good news.

Warren,
I know absolutely nothing about digital but I think one of our members might be able to help. I forwarded your message. If he is around I am sure he will be in touch.
Marty
Thanks for the heads up. We all wish you the best of luck with your track. It sounds like the weather is going to be perfect for it. Please let us know how it goes.
Good Luck,
MartyAry,
You are the man!!!! Great work. Let me understand this. You went to Kings, got the old paint can out of the trash, went to Home Depot, got a quart of paint, came back to Kings, taped off the track and painted the rest of the landscaping base. You are a rockstar.
Thanks for all the work. I feel better going into the weekend.
Thanks,
MartyAry,
Love that old Lotus. When is the last time you ran it?
You got the Vanquish. Have you run it yet? How does it work? Is the differential adjustable or is the friction level fixed? Here is an article from Home Racing World on how to change out the differential.

The track’s lane spacing would be great for those cars. Maybe a 70’s Can-Am class for all Vanquish cars. Very nice.
