Hello Max

I will be there hope to meet some of the regulars at The Race Place.

Will reach out to you soon.

Thanks

Al

Because of a ISRA state level race on the same day attendance was lower than normal but drivers that made it put down some consistent laps.  Chuck Malave, Carl P, Chris and Alex Wendel all hitting their personal best lap counts and fast lap.

I had a great time!!! Thanks to Max for lending me a car and all the tips to get my own car going. A bunch of great guys to race with and The Race Place is a great place to race with a friendly and family atmosphere. If anyone has hardbody cars bring them out and have some fun with this bunch. Martin last name is Dixon. See you guys this coming Sunday!!!!

[Metalflake King]

This weeks Hardbody race was a perfect warm up for The Race Place's inaugural Hardbody challenge race that followed immediately after.  Martin's consistency thru the race earned him a first place finish, congrats Martin !!!  Proving that consistency trumps my inability to realize I should be on the track (not marshaling) along with the antics between Kurt and I (sorry Kurt).  Here's this weeks results...

Looks like the Panoz is a good ride. Can you have Martin post the dimensions so I can add them to the Table shown below. Also, great paint job on the Panoz(or was it a prepaint?) and is it currently available and where? One more thing, I know what the top three drivers were driving but could you post the name of the car next to the driver in the finishing order summary? BTW all of the cars look great and I am looking forward to the Hardbody Challenge field

The Panoz is a 1/24 Carrera body. You can find the complete 1/24 Carrera car on the auction sites. It's not presently on their catalog.

Max,
Looks like you gave the guys a break by lending your Lotus to Charlie. Your Olds looks great but is tall and a bit bulky. Good racing none the less

[Metalflake King]

Thanks Rich, I'm always happy to lend out my cars to a fellow racer.  The Olds is tall, bulky and loooooooong.  A five inch chassis easy!  A little on the heavy side with all the flake and clear but super fun to drive.  I dig the nostalgia style and metal flake.

I like the old behemoths built in the 60s. Our Vintage ProTrack class calls for full or midsize cars of the 50s and 60s mounted on the old ProTrack brass chassis. For a while I raced a full size 67 Chevy. I finally needed to swap the 67 for lighter body. See images of the car and chassis below.

[Metalflake King]

Very cool Rich!

[Metalflake King]

Im learning how to turn off flexi car driving in my brain when playing with these! 

[Dushkwoneshe]

This looks like a seriously fun series, Joey---I'm 700 - 800 miles away, so I'll probably never make it up there to race, unfortunately...

 

I am curious if there are any Jag XJR-5/7 (the cut-off is 1985, back---right?) bodies that are available & eligible for this?...    Just in case a big windfall of money and time comes my way---Thanks---John

[Joexemm]

The cut off for this class is 85 back HOWEVER we are running a challenge class also a thread here on the forum that allows for any body and a more open chassis choice with a much stronger motor package =) all good stuff 

[rvec]

Great turn out and great close racing! Hard bodies rule.

[sportblazer350]

Rich, I have built and raced this same exact body ('67 Chevy, look at earlier posts and pix) in our H&R Hard Body class and copied your brass pans, which have been added to all of my cars- they work great! I soldered mine directly to the sides of the H&R chassis. I enjoy racing this car, even with it's long length and heavy weight. It may not compete with the smaller and better handling "race car" bodies, but it does well when racing against other street cars.  I added decals to make mine look more like a Vintage Nascar, hoping that some more racers will decorate their street cars into Nascars.

Max,

 

 The paint on the Oldsmobile is AWESOME !!!

[rvec]

Glen,
Our Vintage ProTrack Class includes any full size American car from 1950-1970. Below are a few images of cars in this class. There seems to be no clear winner in terms of make or model.

I have just posted an article about improving performance of the H and R chassis. It is a step above simply adding static brass pans. Check it out - see the link http://slotblog.net/...e-improvements/
