It's almost time once again for the San Diego County Fair.  www.sdfair.com .  June 8 - July 4.

 

I will have several tracks including my new 85' 6 lane Baby Blue King (4" lane spacing).  While here in AZ we have run quite a lot of races since it's first day February 22, 2013. 

 

I would like to see if theres any interest to schedule a couple race days.

 

We've run 1/32 Womps, 1/32 sidewinder classics & Slot.it with foamies.  Fast 1/24 Retro Can Am time 4.15" @ 12v 50 amp power supply; no glue, tire conditioner only.  My rentals will be 1/24 4.5" NASCAR on custom H&R Chassis. 

 

Oh Happy Days

Good luck at the fair, Bob! It's kind of neat seeing your reports from the fair year after year... it's history in the making and we get to see it happening!

Hi Bob! I'll come play with you at the fair-- if the Dr releases me by then. I LOVE womp racing! What are your Womp rules for this event? Let me know and i'll build a car and round up as many guys as I can from NOMAD and El Cajon to show and race. Sundays would likely be better for me but with enough notice I could race Sat.

Once you finalize rules & date(s) printing and distributing flyers at Nomad, El Cajon and Buena Park should generate interest..

PM me OK?

Thanx...

Ubetcha Mike! 

 

Here's a pic of my Dodge RAM Womp.  Chassis - Parma WOMP & Brass + Champion Thumper, stock with bracing and lead, ss nosepiece.  Clearance .062 all around.  Motor - Falcon type, most used TSR D3.  Width was about 2-3/4. 

 

Could be a few classes of womps.  Can Am with true width up to Super Womp type.  Dirt Modifieds....I personally love the Legends...lets pick!

Nomad has a womp stock class everything stock except u can glue the motor & bushings, bend the chassis, may add weight between the guide and front of the motor and may reenforce the body mounting holes. No cut down bodtes, legal bodies--all Legends, VWs, the Parma old Ford sedan, any others with race director approval. Tires, front stock womp or Legends, rear ditto, fronts may be painted to reduce grip. Legal chassis, all Champion and Parma Steel inline. 1/8" side slop allowed in the front axle. Max width 3 1/8". OTHERWISE STOCK cars as they come from the factory. These run 4.2 laps at Nomad. (We started this class so a newbe could have a reliable, competitive car a few minutes after removing it from the package..) If someone shows up with an older stock womp with a different body or old Johnson 16d we let them face a few times with whatever they have.

Mod Womps: Any 16D ceramic motor is OK. Weights: lead, no restrictions, Gears: any. 1/8 solid steel axles. may solder or glue motor and bushings (or bearings). any guide, lead wire, spacers, or other hardware is OK. Chassis: Any Parma, Champion or Riggen inline womp type. mods may add front bumper and or back brace (like yours) and pin tubes optional. 1/4 side slop allowed tn the front axle, overall width 3 1/8 at the axle (chassis may be set up with offset spacing if prefered) Tires: front as above, rear any. Same bodies as above but they may be slammed and cut for guide and tire clearence as long as the shape of the fenders is stock when the car is viewed from above. These run 3.9-4.0 at Nomad.

We don't have a clearance rule but if you show up with less than .055 it will not handle the downhill transition on the NOMAD Q track...

Rubbin (womps) is racin..)
Interested?

Sounds great and only Fair since it is YOUR County   I only get it for one month and I get quite jealous everytime I have to leave

 

If you would like to head it up, I'd love it.  We can work on a date.  Best time for me would be in the evening when most families have gone.  Weekdays best but Saturday may work too.  Usually First and third wknds are busiest but this year the 4th is on Thursday so it will be hard to figure for crowds the final week.

 

This fair is 4 weekends!  First 3 Mondays closed.  I LOVE IT!

 

HEY dont anybody wanna race Retro on my Baby?!  Thas OK I got ur number lol.
