David Carter Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Sorry I didn't make it out for the big event, I didn't get back from Masterton until 6.45. It would have been 8 by the time I got out there and after a 12hr day with 6 of those behind the wheel I was just to tied Quote Holdens rule the rest just drool slot cars are my drug, ATCC/Bathurst proxy host NZ Grp5 proxy host.

SlotsNZ Posted June 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Real shame that happened Dave. Was a great night of racing. We had two others away, and one other newbie L8n who just came to watch - but still had 4x 4 man teams. Race Catering excelled her own high standards (please thank her Mac), the verbal biffo, gloating and empty threats were exceptional, and a good time was had by all Quote Recovering Lapsed Slot Addict * Custodian of many used screws (mostly loose ) * Total kidder * Companion of other delusional slot addicts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlotsNZ Posted June 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Tomorrow (Saturday), Oakland Raceway will be open 9:30 until midday for anyone wanting track test time, use of my bench tools/lathes etc and/or any assistance in setting up cars. BYO morning snacks if you want any, I’ll supply the liquified caffeine. 1 Quote Recovering Lapsed Slot Addict * Custodian of many used screws (mostly loose ) * Total kidder * Companion of other delusional slot addicts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capri-corn7 Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Thanks Mac and Mike for an awesome event. And of course to your better halfs for the catering. The cars were as smooth as the banter and what a turnout. Slotcar racing was the winner on the night. 1 Quote They are only toys .... until you pull the trigger.

slotmadmac Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 The Mighty Pie Bone 400 has been run and won. What a great night, with 18 nerds on site to duke it out for the most coveted trophy in Hawke's Bay performance slot car racing. Gloat was on the line, but Rossco came fully prepared should the Slot Gods not smile his way. The shed was full. The track was clean and fast. And 4 race-prepped Revoslots were on the start line Even Munter graced us with his presence. What a treat! As always he was well dressed, looking fit and perfectly groomed; the epitome of the Gentleman Slot Racer. On the other hand.... And then there was this... Shout out to the the mighty Pie Bone for supplying the cars and for Gummy Tuners sponsoring the racing additives. The Revoslots were perfect for this sort of event. Fast and stable and easy to keep in the groove. I reckon that the driver standard was the best I have seen on a club night on my track. Shout out to Race Catering for another stellar effort keeping the carbs up during 3 hours of door to door racing. Shoutout to the UPS I nicked from the house PC that may have prevented TrackMate from crashing. In the end the Gloat went to Team Bingagogo. Congrats to Bingo, Bigger Bing, Snake and Pat for stacking their team more than ours. They led from the get go - and never looked like losing. I have never seen Bingo happier! And then there's this guy... This hairy little prick raced like a demon and claimed fastest laps on 3 of the 4 lanes - despite widespread verbal abuse from all angles. What an effort! I spent half my night trying to get inside his head, but should have known that mind-games are no good when you're dealing with someone with limited intelligence. I need a new strategy. Thanks again for fronting on a cold winter's night, boys. That was one of the great nights. Let's do it again next year. 2 Quote Podiums are for short people.

munter Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Yes sir... an excellent evening’s entertainment. and that is “munter” in lowercase, I don’t want to rise above my station. My thanks to our patron, Te bone and host Sir Mac for organising a great affair. I await next year’s event with great anticipation.

pieguy Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Brilliant night of racing and banter in Mac's slotcave. The best team won with a very high standard of banter and keeping it in the slot. Was great to be back where it all started racing with the slotjockies you have all become. Thanks for keeping the Piebone 400 alive and fizzing. Chur bro's 3 Quote The older i get, the faster i was.
