Fellas,

 

 The January meeting of the C.A.R.S. Vintage Slot Car Club takes place Thursday January 3rd 2019 at THE RACE PLACE in Farmingdale NJ at 7:30 PM.

 

 We'll have "Run Whatcha Brung" as our theme this time, just like it sounds bring along whatever slot car you want including the old, aging, rusting and bent Flexi 1s...

Fellas,

 

 A couple of photos from the January C.A.R.S. meeting... We welcomed back Glenn Orban this year, here he's busy getting some of the oldies ready for some hot laps.

 

Mikey is calculating some gear ratios for one of his projects. He's standing under the vintage slot car gallery that

The Race Place is kind enough to let us display...

 

This Chaparral once a regular club car came back home to roost after a good while. Originally a Tom Andersen build the car has held up well over time. Originally in Mikey's stable it changed hands several times . New/old car blues kept the Chaparral in the paddock for the evening.

Minor mods have already been undertaken that should have it up and running shortly.

thanks for the pix Pete. Yes it was great getting back to the CARS Vintage Club. Now i am back to the basement and finding many unfinished vintage slot car restoration projects that need to be finished and to get back onto the track. Trying to get us a way to race our vintage 1/32 scale cars. Stay tuned.
