Gents,

With the new and late entries considered ... are we doing the race points like it was done in the Dynamic Challenge Proxy where last place is one point and first is the total number of entries?

Here's the latest on the future of the Indy car Proxy.

 

Tim Neja, while still wanting to do something, is having his knee replaced on Monday (?) and

will be out of commission for about a month.

 

I'm open to any alternative plans on shipping the cars elsewhere first, or to just wait until Tim is ready to rock again.

 

I approached someone about doing something at Buena Park, but the person I asked has too much going on to get involved.

Thanks for the offer John.


Greatly appreciate it and looking forward to the race.
Also a huge thanks to Ray for offering to sort my bugs so it does not need to be shipped back and forth from Europe. :victory: 

Would also be very into a raceway sticker or preferably two. one for on my box and one for my collection let me know of the costs.

I received zero response for the March 9th date, so it is off for that time frame.

OK, thanks.

 

Seeing as there is no race planned for the near future, I would like to have my car returned.

 

Mike, please PM cost to post my car back.

 

Thanks to Mike for organising the kits and getting this proxy going, to all those who built great cars, and the drivers and helpers for the races held.

 

It was a lot of fun.

 

:)

I gave all the cars, earlier to Manta Ray , suggested they run some sort of time trials with them on John's track.
