  1. This has become an indispensable bit of kit for me - a nicely powerful 3 speed mini blower I got off AliExpress for about $30. I use it to blow out motors, and to clean up around my work area - especially the truer station. So handy. Wouldn’t be without it.
  2. Guys, I have a pre-wedding event on Thursday so sadly can't host this week.
  3. That's a shame. We'll miss your easy going ways and demon pace on the track. Thanks for all the help and support over the years, mate.
  4. Thanks for stepping up Rosscoe / Phillip and apologies for the short notice cancellation on my part. Not surprised to see Phillip with the clean sweep.
  5. RACE CANCELLED Sorry guys, I have come down with a nasty bug overnight and not flash. Running a high temperature. Can’t host tonight. Apologies.
  6. Not many sleeps until the flag drops on the classic Scalextric Jags 2hr sprint. The Great Munter may not be coming, but it should still be a cool time in the shed. Get here early if you can, so we can sort teams and get into it. $10 race fee to help recover some costs please.
  7. I’m in Aussie this week but the following week, Oct 12, we are racing at my place - a 2 hour teams race running some old school Scalextric Jags I have updated. We can suss teams on the day depending on who’s fronting. Race starts 6.15. $10 race fee / koha please.
  8. Thanks for hosting Bingo. I’ll sure miss the ol’ F1s. Good ones were great - and it’s a pity more of the gang didn’t give them the love and attention they deserved. Anyway - bring in the NSRs. I suggest we all keep the Scalextric F1s as we may find they’re better suited to some of the smaller tracks - or we run the NSRs on 9-10v on Falls Rd, Tombstone etc.
  9. Just placed a big Pendles order today!
  10. Me too. That's my process as well. A clean track is a fast, smooth grippy track. My tyres are always dirty after running on Oakland. The newer NSR EVO compound Ultragrips are very prone to balling up, so that may be an issue, Mark. I stopped using EVO Ultras a while back. The EVO Supergrips are heaps better. I use them by choice now.
  11. Great post, Bingo. Right on the money. I know I can see red mist at times when slow marshalling costs me part laps.
  12. One advantage of feeling unwell last night was a day off work today. That gave me time to completely rework 4 x classic Scalextric Jags for a 2hr Thursday race at my place at some stage. Shoutout to Pat for his excellent new design guides - and to Bingo for the best inserts in the game. These old cars go pretty damn good now. Watch this space for a race date.
  13. I am having second thoughts about this date. Will push it out a month or so and confirm later.
  14. THE MIGHTY PIEBONE 300 IS ON! 4 highly modded ProSlot Ferrari 360’s have just rolled off the Thunder Road production line. These puppies are smooth and fast with all the trick gear - completely re-built with nice, torquey SCC Piranha motors bringing the juice. The 2023 ‘Bone will be a teams race over 3 hours. I am suggesting Sunday arvo, Sept 17 - but that can change if it’s a bad fit. Entry fee is $20. Who’s in?
  15. I hope to categorically thrash you all this week with the latest classic Scalextric F1 off the Slotmadmac production line. It's such a honey - and legal too - you cheating mongrels. Be very afraid.
  16. I’ll be there Thursday too Bingo- you old coot.
  17. Thanks for the info Den. Appreciate that and have looked up the Spanish Mini crew. As far as our roster is concerned, I’m pretty happy to go with the flow - but my thoughts are that we should probably stay with 12 classes at this point. You can run Thunderslots in our 65-80 class (I think this class is one of our most popular) I can’t believe I am typing this…. but I would be happy to drop Scalex F1s for NSR / Scaleauto F1s. They are so good to run and we can race them on reduced voltage on the smaller tracks. Unless you’re running next to Gary, carnage shouldn’t be an issue. I generally think we have a pretty good mix of classes - with something for everyone. Personally I would love to see us start over and adopt all the national classes - but that’s never going to happen. So let’s just keep rocking on. I imagine every racing group has issues sorting out classes. Our debates are just a bit more public, because we do them here. Let’s always remember that we’re just a bunch of geeks racing cars on sheds. No one has more say than anyone else. We’re not a club. There is no hierarchy. Don’t be a dick.
  18. Thanks. I remembered later on. I have had a few from them. Good quality for sure.
  19. Holy Guacamole! Our very own PieBone was a heat winner at this years US Slot It Nationals. I hope the scrutineers knew what they were up against! Here he is with NorCal slot car legend Jim Rose at Electric Dreams. Go The Bone!!
  20. My place this week, ladies. Week 3 1 Fly Classics 2 DTM [Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft 1984 - 1996] 3 Group 5
