What with missing events through your birthday, then your wife going to a show, and now visiting your mother, you're beginning to sound like Nick49, Clarkey! Some families just don't appreciate the importance of slot racing.
 Seriously though, if anyone else can't make the 13th, please let us know. We can always move the event to another week. -------------------- Getting old is when you stop watching Formula 1, and start falling asleep without any help.

I could do with some confirmation on numbers guys!!
So far there's me Jim and Peter, going to be a bit lonely me thinks. Does anyone know if Geoff, Steve or Scott can make? Scaleymatt is suppose to be coming too with a friend, so if they all turn up it won't be too bad, but I could do with knowing.

Geoff confirmed a while back, and reconfirmed when I spoke to him at Swindon.

Can someone remind me what to bring?
I know I chose 50's Sports cars in the knowledge that MrsM had been instructed to get me an AutoArt C-type for crimbo. It hasn't arrived yet! Bugger -------------------- Some notable slot racing quotes
"Mein Gott! I should know ze bus stop is tight! Put me back on." M. Shoemaker "Alors! I forgot how hard that 30 left was! Put me back on." S. Lobe "Dang! Too fast on the straightaway again! Put me back on." Bubba Johnson Junior the third "That's not a Stewart tartan!" R. Counter "I don't care what it looks like, as long as it makes me look fast!" S.C. Moron |

Wheels, tyres, chassis, guides, and motors are free choice, but remember this is a "Spirit" of Goodwood night. We're only here to have fun. -------------------- Getting old is when you stop watching Formula 1, and start falling asleep without any help.

There was a low turnout for last night's meeting, but we still managed some good racing. We could do with at least two more regulars so come on, those of you who are thinking about it, don't be shy, we're a friendly bunch of lunatics!
There were four different liveried Pink Kar 250 GTO's in one race so I had to take a picture.  Guess which car belongs to Jim! I have heard of adding weight, but dust ain't gonna add much! -------------------- Getting old is when you stop watching Formula 1, and start falling asleep without any help.

That's a light dusting for Jim. I've seem him race cars that had movable aero parts made of dust. It was like watching a live, 1/32 scale wind tunnel test.
I will try to make the next one. Should have recovered my slot mojo by then. -------------------- |

#8 update... I'll be a regular from April onwards. Can't wait. Will a resin Jag Mk1/2 be OK as a saloon car over 2 litres?
I think I've got the other classes covered. If not smothered. Now I just need to get home and go racing for the first time in five years (gulp!) --------------------  |
