Do to the holiday next monday we will be racing slotcars next thursday june 2.

Hey moderator or administrator can you send this to the section for racing????

All the rest of you, Ron through down the gauntlet last night and pulled off a win with 131.5 laps with a $19.99 IRL car. It is no track record since we ran without marshals. Come on down on Mondays or let Wally and I know if there is a better day to race on other than WED. Drivers WANTED

Quote - Hey moderator or administrator can you send this to the section for racing???? ------ I noticed they have a 1/32 scale forum now. Maybe we should move to that one?

Are we going to race (Monday) tonight?
I am back from vacation. After driving just under 5000 miles through 12 States, now I am ready drive even more.
Well, 1/32 driving.

am I going to have to come back and bring the F1 renault for some record runs or what by the way witch way are you running the track now

terry

terry We had 2 racers with over 130 laps in open wheel monday. We're running clockwise.

We have had a request for DTM cars on Monday so bring em along. M00SE

Are there any requests for Monday the 27th? Since we won't be racing on Thursday, both modern and vintage classes may be run. Last week we had a DTM race, a vintage NASCAR class + a third class ( GT3 ? Prototype? LMP ?). If you want to race anything specific, please post it here so others will be able to bring the same.

Monday we will be picking the four new classes we're going to race in july.

Wally, with the low turnout during the summer how about running what the guys that show up have in there boxes? WE ran 90s GT1 and 90s prototype tonight and had fun with the 5 people that showed up. Sorry you could not make it, you sounded kinda rough. We had fun with the front motors and everyone ran pretty close together, then that dirty, filthy, cheatin Ken guy ran away from the field with his new MG Lola to a new unofficial lap total of 133.2. Ken the king of the coast would gain at least a tenth on every track call. If that Eric guy gets his Porsche running a little better over the humps he could have a contender. Catch you next Thursday for the race, M00SE

l Sounds like the Dude with the antlers had quite the night. Hopefully we'll have that printer working next thursday.

The Thursday night race was a success with 8 people racing. No lap records because the Ken guy could not get the coast on track calls. But it was close racing for the top spots. 70s rear motor has a new threat with Ron's Chevron that made up a 3 lap pit stop for braid adjustment to finish two sections behind the winner. See you all next Monday, Moose

I hate to say this but I will not be able to race on Monday. My arm is no better than what it was when I went to the doctor on Tuesday. This is the longest lasting charlie horse I have ever had. At least my Dr gave me pain pills. Moose

I couldn't make it to Monday night racing either. I had to go to school orientation
for my daughter. I'll be back next week, though.

Dale, Ken,

Looks like some serious racing going on lately. Not sure I could keep up with that crowd! :)

Question - what did you use for the lane identification colors? What is it and how was it applied?

Thanks,
David

(A Ford - just for you , Dale.) Wow! Thanks David. Hopefully we can get you to come over from the dark side and be a Ford man someday. :rolleyes: I used paint markers for the lane colors which you are welcome to borrow. Are you doing the Le Mans race at Road Atlanta this year? I've got someone to run the raceway that weekend so I can go. Gary and I plan on stoping at that big slotcar track while we're there.

As school starts and Fall is soon aproaching, I would like to know:
which evening works best for YOU for racing at Summit Raceway?
Or, if there is a day that does not work out, post that, too.

Yes, Judy and I are going early and tour the Smokies. I would like to make it to the big Atlanta track also, hope we team up for the visit.

Me - Fords? Not likely....

Road trip? Kris and I went to Richmond today to check out the tracks there on the way home from seeing the X. They have one heck of a roadcourse for 1/24th cars. I ran about 6 tenths off the race speed with on of my scratchbuilt chassis. It is a lot faster than the track that was in Fort Wayne. the owner said he could set us up for a race as long as we had a minimum of 6 guys go down.
Moose

Hey all
Slow night at the track tonight....So they had me price the used cars that Shane had. Come one come all prices slashed profits forgotten. Most cars $25 or less one car $40.00 but it is the Lola T70 Sunoco. See ya at the track. Ken

Hello David,
Yes, just a couple of days ago, Mr. Steven Goodspeed ran a 19.40 sec. lap with a Fly Marcos LM; your time is now 2nd fastest ever.

Thanks for your great posting at the forum!

As far as our track length, we relocated twice within the Mall and each time we made the track longer, so the layout that you actually raced on is 396 ft. or 120.60 meters.

Best regards,
JD

Dale,

I just got an email from JD Figoli today announcing his new web site (http://www.jdmodelraceways.com/) which shows pictures of the track, now expanded to 457 ft!!

http://www.jdmodelraceways.com/images/wholetrack.JPG

The entire section at the far end is new.

Are you going to Petit this year? We will have to juice up some cars and show those rednecks how to run - we will have to lay it on heavy, though, the new overall record is 18.43 seconds set by an anglewinder NSX.
