Bob, are you getting your videos from Nesta? :laugh2:  :laugh2:

 

Bill, I am Nesta so I get them all videos from him.  :crazy:  :bomb:

 

Thumbs down, Bob

 

We need an e-mo-to-con for thumbs down. :)

 

Guess while some of you were slot car racing on Sat night I was in the clubs falling in love.   :dance3:   :angel:      :love:  :heat:

 

I have a well rounded choice of favorite music ...  is this better ? :D

Nesta did. I warned you not to lie to me! <LOL>
 
Where did you race, Bill?

I used to race in Manchester, NH at "Need for Speed" but that raceway closed in 2010. Now, I'll occasionally run at a home/club track named "Sick Puppy" in Weare, NH.

He's so cute :D ...Is your dog part Chihuahua, part Dopamine Antagonist ?

 

They have 'red eye' reduction, he might come out a little less possessed looking.

Pablo - our cars have been alone in mike's box so long I will have to check to see if they have not made a midget together.   :sarcastic_hand:   I will also check that the axles are running free and lubed.

Thanks, Larry, that is funny, I would have to sue you for parental rights :laugh2:

Hopefully the wheels have not flatspotted and all the moving parts just need a new microdot of oil.

Maybe a little naptha/spin for the fronts. 

 

I have a scratchbuilt Mini Cooper with a Falcon 2 in my vintage box that I run about twice a year.

Always fast, never a problem with the motor.

Easy on the drama , Larry.

 

These aren't Jail Door cars, last run in 1967. :)

I don't even let my rental car sit on the tires.

There was never a doubt in my mind Swiss would take great care of the cars.  I just wanted to hear my baby was alive and well :)

Ray Ray, humor and laughter is alive and well, you just need to look in the right places :crazy:
