I have a 4 lane track built by Bob Scott for sale in SoCal. I live near Mission Viejo--track is 9' wide by 22' long. It has 8' section in it so it could easily be shortened by that much and...

Hi,
I have a 4 lane track built by Bob Scott for sale in SoCal. I live near Mission Viejo--track is 9' wide by 22' long. It has 8' section in it so it could easily be shortened by that much and...
Don't think there's any reason to change the rules because there's a lot of cars out there that fit the existing rules! But until we race them--it's probably not a big deal. But I would build to...
Cukras was running his stocker around the flat track Saturday! He thought banning the Mercury might be a good idea--so we don't end up with a one body class again!! Their still VERY fast and fun to...
CHEVY pumpin out some laps!!! Attaboy dude!!! Get some practice in --- I'll catch up to you one day down there!! Enjoy!!!
Just go play on it!!! Should give you a chance to practice a LOT for BPR!!!
I don't think they allow flattened rails in the east Jason??
I wouldn't worry too much about the weight! I think Bryan's was in the high 90 gram range!! Just make sure it handles great and you can drive it great!!
Okay Nesta---to inspire your building--here's two historic D3 Nascars!! One--from the legendary Mike Steube!!! His #1 D3 Nascar build!! The other--is from the equally legendary Foamy!!! This car was...
The rules are what the rules are!! No reason to bag on retro---just start a NEW class!! Retro racing has shown the largest growth in 20 years of slot racing--but someone always wants to bag on it!! ...
Bryan has always said he loves this class!! It's just up to someone to promote a race with them and get more people interested. I'd like to stay with the anglewinders---easy to build and they handle...
Looks good---should work on the flat track too!! This Saturday!!
These babies in my opinion are some of our MOST fun cars to drive!! With the longer bodies and anglewinder chassis--they handle VERY well but are still a little looser then our Coupe cars!! I've got...
Well it's hard to call it a "build"---more of an "Assembly"!! The Slick 7 F-1 kit is legal to run in SCRRA now--so I thought I'd try one. Jason Holmes, and Duran have been running one for a while...
GOT a chance to try this baby out today!! It's only 97 grams--and is AMAZING on the Flat Track at BPR!! Very smooth and QUICK!!! Gotta try it on the King track another day---but it showed soo much...
Still searching for that elusive smooth F-1 ride!! Here's another--Samson style center section--1/16 piano wire with 2 brass rails. Then a simple shaker style out pan for the body. We'll test it...
Very nice--show some pics when you have it completed too!! Love it!!
Even if SCRRA decides to switch motors---I think the major races will still be hand outs!! Otherwise--none of the racers would come from out of town. It's what makes the racing fair for everyone. No...
Well the only reason I used the BRM body is because I had some! There's LOT'S of kits available for Group C and GTP cars available. Their very cool looking and the hard body makes them a challenge...
Hi Dennis--- I picked up 4 bodies off Slot Car illustrated---$15 each. Let me know if you want one---I'll bring it over for you!
OKay--the last of my hard body builds to post. You can see these VERY simple builds--.090 wire and tilting pans for the body actually handle very well. Fun to build and drive!!!
Here's another hard body build---a Grand Am Corvette!! It's a VERY short wheelbase and SHORT guide lead---but handles like a DREAM!!! Very quick for this class. Should be tough to beat at the...
Well my problem is I LOVE EM ALL!!! LSMFT!!!! :)
Some of you will recognize this as a "Russ Toy" clone in 1/24 scale of his very successful 1/32 cars!! This design works VERY well for hard body racing. It puts a majority of the weight down very...
They are all scratch built cars ---running around 185 grams! We managed to not only get the motor to last---but didn't have to change tires either because the car handled so well!! The gear ration...
Well fun time today with our Hardbody 4 hour enduro at BPR!!! Very interesting---we had 8 cars in the race--average weight is 180 + grams----ALL motors ran the entire distance!!! Over 2200 laps on...
