October Racing @ Kev's
I can reveal at last that Kevin has combined his two favourite hobbies in peaceful harmony. Whether it will be a huge success, I dunno...





Couldn't resist when I found this page of course... http://www.hobbiesplus.com.au/disasters_4.htm

Anyone know details of what track it will be this time? Same as before?

Re: October Racing @ Kev's
Anyone else forget that we have racing NEXT Saturday.

I have been busy at work and missed the fact that we are racing next Saturday. Our Team Enduro.

Teams will be selected on the day. We will be drawing name out of a hat, well a few hats to be exact. The four best drivers will go into one hat, the next best into the next hat etc. Teams will be made up by selecting one name from each hat. The teams should all be pretty even giving everyone a chance to win.

We have 4 new GT40s (Right Cam?) still in their packets. Each team will draw a car which will be theirs for the day. The winning team will get a car each. There maybe a car for second but it will depend on numbers.

To cover the costs of the cars there will be a price to pay to run. $10.00 each should cover it.

Kev is providing a sausage sizzle for lunch, bring anything else that you want including drinks (beer or soft). If you want a chair better bring that too as we will be outside under the carport.

Lunch will be ready at 12:00, team select at 12:30. Racing will start soon after. If you can't be there by 12:30 not a problem. Let us know that you are coming and we will put you intro a team.

Kev is going to send me a picture of the track. When I have it I will post it on the forum. I will also post the ranking of the drivers, which we will use to put people into the appropriate hat, as soon as I have done the number crunching.

Everyone is welcome but like always we need numbers to know the number for snags etc. Please RSVP, either via email or on the forum. Any newbies drop me a line and I will provide you with the details. You are most welcomed to join us in what is always a fun day. And remember, if you are going to be late just lets us know that you are coming.

See you there. Geoff

Re: October Racing @ Kev's
Should be a great day.

Don't forget your controllers.

Do we have a rule on what controllers can and can not be used?

You may also want to bring a practice car. Race cars will not be available until the teams are formed just before the race. Stock Super G+ cars with crappy rubber tyres.

Re: October Racing @ Kev's
As the teams will be graded upon each persons performance throughout the year and each persons performance may have been partially due to the type of controller (whether it be electronic or a favoured resistance), then the team selection in terms of performance I believe will only remain equal if people can use the controllers they have been using throughout the year.

By setting a rule to force people to use differnet controllers would be like forcing someone who has been using a 45 ohm controller to use a 60 ohm.

Just my thoughts...........

Re: October Racing @ Kev's
Just like to thank Kev and his family for a great days racing and making it such a great day, I think that enduro racing has to be about the best slot car event around, a great effort by every one and I hope you all had as much fun as I did. Thanks again Bill

Re: October Racing @ Kev's
Another great day of racing at Kevs. Thanks Kev and Family. It was good to see Eli doing well.

I agree Bill. Enduros rule. We should consider an extra enduro each year.

Chad, is your track up yet? I'm coming over!!!!
