I was at the raceway tonight. Apparently the new timer-counter works OK and that is what will be used.

Both tracks were a bit sticky but my cars loved it.

See you Friday!

I have never stopped donating bodies anywhere Oscar. In fact, in 2012 I gave away 30 painted bodies and numerous interiors. I just want to make sure they are given away the way I request and that is for FREE and not through buying a raffle ticket.

That Jim Clark/Lotus race poster is truly a work of art!

 

Congrats to the artist and the SCRRA

Topline Inc. will give away three 1/24 scale home-racing RTR chassis for use on Carrera plastic track.  They will be given as consolation prizes to the most unlucky racers in the Coupe, Can-Am and F1 classes.

Guys, give 'em a bit of a break. The reporters are also full on racers in three different classes today/tonight. A lot going on at the track. While I was there tuning my Can-Am only, it was BUSY. They'll get reports ASAP. Thanks for understanding.
