Pedro51 Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Trip going well so far, great fun in Nelson, I highly recommend putting Tony’s race meetings on the TOP of the “to do list”. Not back this week, or next week or....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Keep meaning to post that we had an impromptu group decision last week. 1. Legends rolling competition as we did with fly classics where we race at each track over 2 rotations. Everyone present agreed this was a good plan so we will wait for Pedro to “re-appear” from his travels before we kick that off. 2. Rod had requested a 6:30 start so he can shorten the time away from his good lady. Generally there was agreement wit those who might not make it contacting the host so that can be rostered in the end of the cycle. General agreement although 1 member suggested we review it when summer begins. For the absentees from the impromptu meeting please forgive us for excluding you. Your opinion is valued so voice any objections etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlotsNZ Posted June 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hey folks. Da boss is away this weekend at a crafting marathon up in the wop wops with 20 other ladies. So I am one of the many husbands left to fend for ourselves or starve to death. SO For anyone who wants some shed time, tuning help, especially getting Legends and other tyres roundly, I will be opening the cave Saturday from 9:30am until probably early afternoon - closing time subject to if I end up burning up the cycle-ways on my 250 watt grunt machine later Liquids on tap, lunch will be whatever for anyone who happens to be around when I get the munchies. Meanwhile, see yas tomorrow night, I'll hit Midway for a pile of hot chips as usual.

slotmadmac Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Last week in Nelson, I floated the idea of bringing Dave West down to Hawke's Bay from Auckland for a tuning masterclass - for our racing group and anyone else who would like to attend. Dave's about as good as a slot car tuner gets. I learnt some great tips from him over the weekend, and I thought it would be a great opportunity for us all to learn from one of world's great RTR builders. Any interest in this idea?

David Carter Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 sounds good to me Mac, I know how great he is at tuning as for the Legends series I probably won't be around for the start but a great idea so don't worry about me might as well give someone else a chance to win 1 Quote Holdens rule the rest just drool slot cars are my drug, ATCC/Bathurst proxy host NZ Grp5 proxy host.
