Okay, found the right street car body. 308GTB Just under 3 inches wide and a 4 inch wheel base. Think I will leave it vintage fresh after it gets mounted.

That was just a teaser shot. Chuck had just finished that body and was mocking it up to see what it would look like with wheels under it. He still has to finish a new car to go underneath it. I believe it will handle as good as it looks.

Sunday March 5th results.
This last Sunday was the last in a six month three track race series that The Race Place hosts. It is an all day event and leaves most racers red eyed after racing for at least 6 hours prior to our Hardbody race that follows immediately after. Regardless of all that, we as always, had a great time, full of smiles, laughter and banter. Tyler took the win and Dave was finally able to have his son Sean join us. It always makes me happy to see father and son racing and enjoying slot cars together.
Here are this weeks results...
1 Tyler D Group 5 Ford
2 Andy Sr Lotus 30 green
3 Dave Demott Lotus 30 red
4 Chuck Schlottfeld Porsche 917
5 KP Plymouth
6 Sean Demott Monte Carlo
