3 packages are on their way to USA, Australia and France and 1 parcel to Argentina:

 

 

 

It would be a shame if this should have been the last race. It was so much fun!

 

Please let me know if there will be another opportunity and I'll send my car round the world!

 

There is an envelope for each one with the corrected results and one personal picture!

 

Once again thanks from Germany!

Hey Jens,


I received the car, thank you very much.  


Very nice to have some of the extra data and the picture that came with it.

For consideration,

 

If you guys want to give it a Kurtis Proxy go here on the oval at 11 or 12 volts I could make that happen.

Great group of local drivers that have thousands and thousands of laps practice on that track.

 

Or maybe on this 5 lane oval ... this is a picture of some of the 'local crew' of drivers.

 

I have an extra kit on hand if someone new wants in, Mike Swiss might have more kits available as well.

 

I'll buy the box plaques for all entered.

Timeframe - Around Labor Day?

[Jencar17]

Wonderful!! I would be in!!

 

[Jaak]

I love to participate Bob   

would need to source a new body and exhaust and learn how to do decals properly....

[Gator Bob]

Cool ... so far that make 3 of us.    

 

Jaak,

Unless you guys want to add a concours judging component we could run them as they are. You can even add ehasust with chrome tape and do a touch up if you want.

 

We could just have a wheel to wheel good old time on an oval where Indy cars these belong.

 

Mike Swiss ... Do you have these bodies in stock for those the want new?

[Jaak]

Hey Bob,


I guess you are right.

It would be better to race it as is and then after the race "restore" it passed it's former glory.

The car was a good learning experience on how not to do Decals lol.


I will give it some TLC as planned and fix the pinion again.
 

[Gator Bob]

If we can get 8 or more cars committed it will be a go !!!

 

 

With the first car .... this time ..I'm ready for a change ... LOL.

There is a second kit here with a much nicer painted body I could finish up to get the car count up or sell the kit and put the new body on this car.

Wide open !

I'm in. When it returns from Germany, I'll tune 'er up and put fresh rubber on the rears. Lick and a polish then off to Florida.  Drive it like ya stole it.

[Gator Bob]

C00L .... We are up to 4 cars !!!

 

Half way there.         

[MantaRay]

I'm in   #8

[MantaRay]

Why do you need 8 cars for a 5 lane track

[Gator Bob]

I'm in   #8

 

Awesome Ray.

 

Why do you need 8 cars for a 5 lane track

The first choice is on the banked 8 lane oval at Bill Pinch's Raceway.

 

We could run ether or ... or maybe both.

 

We run 'crash and burn' only on the Kenny's 5 lane'r so it's pretty much all driver and luck 

 

 If you guys want to give it a Kurtis Proxy go here on the oval.

 

[CoastalAngler1]

I'm interested in getting in on the fun.  I can attend and drive one too...PM sent to the Gator to see if I can get the extra car.  

[Gator Bob]

C00L Charlie !!!     Check the rule set and the pictures of the finished cars for building these kits.

 

That would make 6 entries so far ....  

 

Mike Swiss ...  Do you have parts like motors / tires / bodies / trim for these cars ?

[slotbaker]

I'm in if there a few races.

 

Blue #67 arrived home yesterday.

 

She'll get a grease and oil change, plus new rubber.

 

Where do I send her to?

 

 

Jens, many thanks for all of your efforts running the Minerva round, and returning the cars.

[Gator Bob]

Great news Steve.
That would make 7 entries committed.
 
I'm not sure I can promise more than one event locally. 
 
The small flat oval at Brandywine does not have a lap counter and we run it Crash and Burn style. This is fantastic fun but I'm not sure how we could do a proxy with fairness. It is not about judging and great handling fast cars, it is all about the driving and luck. 
 
It will be an outstanding show and race on 8 lane oval at Bill Pinch's Raceway.biz store.
 
I do feel optimistic that I/we can find another oval venue here in the States.
 
How about an 'Official Pace Car' for this show ...
