In looking at some MESAC event calendars, it looks like half of the races were for 1/32nd scale cars.  Here are some of the 1/32nd scale MESAC cars I cleaned and tuned up.  These cars have sophisticated chassis, lots of horsepower, and are very fast.  Thanks, Victor, for all of the information and parts.
 
Magic MESAC rear tires run with no tire glue or spray glue.

Victor testing one of the cars.  Driver head needed.  This one is crazy fast.

Victor found this picture of the Porsche from a 1975 magazine.  Car number was changed to number 1 after championship was won.

Those are great Rod, and they do look very fast indeed! 

 

Seems similar to the British club cars of the time, ECRA or BRSCA.

Rod, nice fleet of 1/32 MESAC cars. I've heard the term "Magic MESAC rear tires" used several times before. What was special about them, other than they worked on the MESAC track dry? Were they a special composition of rubber or other materials?

Great looking cars Rodney. I'm a big fan of the 2 red formula cars.

Victor running some of the MESAC cars on his track.  The MESAC tires are very soft and seem to never dry out.  We do not know who made them.
