I'm ready. Whenever whoever wants to let it's Baby run on the Minerva a race should happen quickly!

These are my opinions and my opinions only, not trying to start an argument or a riot.

I might be expecting too much.....

 

 

  • I think one of the major issues is this series has no leader. Mike is too busy with the Retro stuff to carry this into future events. At the onset we didn't dicuss future races, maybe we should have or maybe this was to be a one shop 2 track stop.
  • Only a few of us have even spoke of future events. The other guys entered are not chiming in shows lost interest.
  • Proxies are a show and when there is minimum coverage they go un-noticed and as an entry it gets frustrating.
  • I find Jens offer to be a great gesturer to pick up the shipping tab and he went out of his way to send us DVDs of the Dynamic Proxy, Thanks again for that.  :good:
  • Tim is a great guy with an offer and a very nice home track, a race at BPR would be 'more better' ... I like 'Big tracks' and little ovals too.
  • Jaak is a 'Fun Guy' in these proxy games but he wants to run on 'plastic' ... I said no cards .. cash only if you want me to sandbag :tease:

AND, The King Ozzie thinks my car is a Sheila :bomb: .. LOL ... With Rays help it's not :hi:

 

Why not consider ....   A bi-monthly or quarterly race on the King with soft walls and snow banks outside. Was it Not Fun?

 

Jus-sayin.  :to_become_senile:

Hi all, Jens has indicated for the cars to go to Minerva they need to move quickly. JohnnySlotcar is packing up the cars. If Jens gets back to me with particular shipping info they will go out today.

Minor correction there Bob.


Quote me:
Wish I could run a round here in France or Swiss (I live on the border of Switzerland)

I race at 3 different clubs (one in France and 2 in Geneva Switzerland) but all 3 are plastic tracks ( Ninco-Fleischman-Carrera ) and can not handle that type of guide.

Translated I am willing but not able...never said I wanted to host these cars on "plastic"

(Did not finish my 3 lane routed 10.5 cm lane spaced wooden track yet)

Jaak, don't loose your sense of humor ... Plastic was a reference to Credit Card.

To get in touch with German authorities first means to take time and wait.
