In reference to item #115 My vote is no

[Gator Bob]

Don The Modelville tracks are all nicely spray glued. Retro cars usually run treated or non-treated tires depending on how well the car hooks up.

 

The tracks are cleaned and spray glued a few days or more before state or retro series races at TheRaceway.  

 

Slip is better than tip .... these kind of cars might need treated or wonder rubber.

 

We can run some modern cars on all lanes to clean'em up first.

That's cool about no *added* air control, how's things looking for swoopy one off thingies?

I think it's best if we use bodies that were available in 1970.

[Jay Guard]

Sorry I'm late to the voting party, and not that it makes a difference, but I vote "No" also.

Sick-on lead...is that from eating too many paint chips or sumthin'?

[Gator Bob]

[proptop]

That little Dutch Boy might be an ancestor of mine...? I could paint my chassis with 10 or 20 coats of his high lead paint, to keep the weight on the down-low...

 

It's been since the mid 90's since I've run a Dynamic chassis...they are quite light...I need to do some weight and balance calculations...

[SlotStox#53]

Having never setup or raced one of these cars before, do they need that much ballast ?

[Gator Bob]

Good rule of thumb:

 

The thicker the wire - the thicker the lead 

[SlotStox#53]

Good rule of thumb:
 
The thicker the wire - the thicker the lead 

In that case I need a boat load of that girth increasing ballast !

[Gator Bob]

What's the power on the tracks there Phil?

 

A big difference is if the cars go straight to the next track or come back to the shop first.

[Gator Bob]

 BTW:

 

Still open for back up names .. alternates.

 

Tip: Get on the list in case it opens up to more than 8 cars. 

[Asp]

Sorry,

I just discovered this thread and had to read the rules hurriedly.

I am interested in case there is an opening for more than 8 cars. I just love Dynamic.

Guys...I've got a question or two...

 

Is there a specific (Dynamic part number) front wheel for use with the #586 floppy (wire) front axle?

I have some Buzco Wheelies...and a few other styles, but we'd like to use as many Dynamic parts as possable...correct?

 

I'm all for "period correct", and "in the spirit of"...and after searching the blog and vsrn I don't seem to find any 1/16" axle front wheels / tires packaged and sold as a Dynamic part.
