Michael, I've never actually seen one, but these sets show up on eBay every so often. I put them in the same category with the horse racing sets that are also around. I personally consider both to be...

The CT tracks I went to were C&C, East Hartford, & Forestville. I also went to tracks in Taunton, MA. Hampton Beach, NH, & Bennetts Raceway in Westbrook, ME.

From 1970-75, Modelville Hobby, Framingham, MA was my home raceway. They had 3 American tracks with the wood paneling sides, rather than colored Formica. A Sovereign (Purple Mile). Monarch (Orange) &...

That was 45-50 years ago, I don't still have lots of detail. Give me a couple days & I'll jot down some thoughts.

Those comments must be made by people not on here, if they're on anywhere..<LOL> I don't see this as a big discussion. I don't necessarily think any given class of car is going to be more popular on...

The only thing you couldn't in your list using a 4" flexi chassis is F1 & some hardbodies. All you would have to do is change the body every so often, leave the chassis, tires, & motors alone, reuse...

Michael, are these all 4" & 4.5" flexi classes you might plan to run? If they are, you can run any of them on whatever track(s) you have available. just don't over-power the cars. Some track layouts...

If that's the group Roger Holtzclaw started, it died long before Parma did. Some local club/home groups modify the chassis & run them in various classes, such as dirt mods, open wheel mods, etc. If...

Good idea!!

Is it staying in Texas?

Here in the US, we don't hear about these smaller NZ tracks or their race reports. It's nice to know they're out there. How about posting some photos & info on them here in the future?

Is the existing track worn out or will it be moved to another location, giving NZ two flat tracks?

i raced 10 yrs on a 85' trioval. You have to use a different mind set, than when road racing, to successfully race on ovals & triovals.

Also, has G21 been set up somewhere else after Tracey Brown closed his TN raceway? I think I read it had been sold.

I wasn't familiar with the Freedom Factory group or DeSoto Raceway. With this track, they got quite a job on their hands if they want to bring it back to a full life. They didn't indicate how big the...

I like the American Orange named Monarch. Once they were plentiful, but today there aren't too many around. You could race scale & wing cars on them, as i have.

Belated Happy Birthday wishes to you Paul!

It's difficult to tell what Parma still has these days. Proslot has the same springs, but without the red coating.

Camen did sell "light" springs in the past, maybe they still do. If still available, pick up a couple pair to see how they work with your motors.

A strip of 2000 grit sandpaper from Walmart's automotive dept. & other places does a pretty good comm polish job too. Trinity once sold a brush eraser squared to 36D brush size . With those, one...

JK also made some jail door motor brackets. They may still be available.

Paul, I just got on OWH. the board has no new posts. In the user information box, it shows 1 online member (me) & 1342 "Guests". Who are guests & how are they calculated? Having that many people...

Sam, you know a Wasp blank has a shorter stack length than a Contender/Challenger. <LOL> But it was a good joke.

TTT on yesterday

John posted on SB yesterday that he didn't have a work area for building controllers where he was now living. He also said he would provide technical support to those who contacted him.
