Default Round 11 - 132 Slotcar Raceway

Howdy race fans. The completion of the Inaugaral Cheetah Invitational Proxy is upon us...it's been fun, blah blah blah. No really!

Alan's got some biz to attend to and will be running the race sometime in the beginnning of August which is coming up pretty soon. He's graciously agreed to let us rip on the mighty Windsor track & also the Ninco track if we wish. I say we do both & count them as two separate races:
Race 11 & Race 12. Why not...right?

Bring it!

As long as it's ok with Alan, I say go for it. I'm not in a rush to get my car back, I'm well aware of what I did wrong and what I need to do to make it better!

No, Alan offered up to run on both tracks. If it gets to be a hassle one is more than fine.
I just figured the Ninco surface might totally destroy the serape car & Puss & Boots also...so worth a shot at it.

Yeah...no rush getting my car back here either. I got to figure out somehow how to craft some brass by next year! Although my car has plenty of other issues, it's something I'd like to learn. A fantasy probably.

Hey one thing I didn't really think of was the Ninco Guide Slot. In all fairness the Ninco track wasn't listed on the CIP Track Schedule. I think Ninco falls somewhere in between Scaley & Carrera as far as depth/width maybe? I dunno. I'm just saying if somebody's Cheetah guide gets stuck & can't make it around the course(please no!) we'll have to figure something out. That can't be held against them & we don't need two "throw out the lowest" score thingies. We'll figure it out & hope for the best.

The only possible reason that I can think of is that mether05 must have squeezed the sweat out of his serape and stuck it in your motor & on your gears & tires...when he had the cars.
I do remember asking for the rear bearings to be lubed so maybe mether obliged ??
