First off I wish everyone a safe and Happy New Years. No drinkin and drivin except with you most valuable TJET :) Just kiddin.

So what do you plan on doing this year?

Myself.

I plan on 3 mail-in races plus the HO Grand Prix American series.

The 12 hrs of GrenRun - an almost anythying goes 1 1/8th TJET
An Indy Race in May
And the 4th annual Mustang Madness Race in the fall.

The Grand Prix America should be quite interesting with the multiple track series format. If this works well then I plan on adding a Trans Am series in 09.

I hope to see more mail-in races in the future at different folks' homes.

On the modeling front

Look for 2 - 3 nex TFX stockers in 08.

A new Mustang for the fall race. I am open for suggestions.

A new Open Wheel web site with all the bodies I make and more.

Look for a couple of new Indy Kits this year. I am hoping for a mid 50's Novi the first STP Turbine not the wedge all for standard TJET chassis.


Look for an early BRM, Lotus, a Honda and Ferrari this year and maybe a Porsche

Also I am debating a new 64 Falcon and 64 Galaxy taht I may shrink aslo I want to try and make a James Dean Porsche.


Also on my list is to make a new pit area fro GreenRun more period correct and to put down 15 inch straights and replace the melted track sections.

Also way up on the top of my list is to get a new track I own shipped from Maine to the beach at a reasonable rate presently the quote is over a 1,0000.00 which is way too much.

I would also like to build two new tracks this year. I want to do a hill climb and a Red Neck Lemans :) I have some cool ideas but this one may have to wait another year.

Also I want to see if I can make some new Can AM cars for the TJETS. I may do slimlines if the Grand Prix cars come out good.

Last but not least is to build a G-JET killer from a MT/XT chassis :) I've got the tools to do it I juyst need to get a good 12VDC Pancake armature :)

Again Happy new year

More time working on my track. Less internet bickering. More racing in our group. Build a new website for our group and my track. ;)

I'm going to experiment with resin casting this year so I can just mold my own F1 and sports cars.

And I also plan to have at least one, probably two, 8" LCD TVs on my track showing F1 and sports car highlights while we race. I'll box them out in Legos to keep with the theme.

I also plan on some luxury suites for the short chute between turns one and two.

And finally filling some fans in the stands :rolleyes:

So I guess other than that we'll see what twenty-oh-eight holds in store for me.
