slotmadmac 211 Report post Posted July 15, 2021 This is your chance to learn to set up a car from one of the best RTR tuners in the game - and by that I mean one of the best in the world. Dave arrives mid-arvo Friday August 13, but the track will be open all day and into the evening. Run what you brung during the day, and if we get enough guys there, we will run some sort of house class race on Friday evening. Tuning class kicks off 9.30am Saturday, with a Thunderslot McLaren on the bench. After the masterclass is done, we'll run a Group 5 Teams race. This will be 2-4 hours long depending on how much time we have. Sounds like we will have a few out of town guests, so we will pick teams / team cars on the day to try and get an even field. I'll put up some prizes to spice it up. For the out of towners, Group 5 Rules as per our local club roster: (we mainly run Sideways cars. The hot set up seems to be sidewinder running NSR 25k).Motor: Open Wheels: Open. Tyres: Open Gears: Open Axles: Open Body: Can be lightened and lowered on chassis Chassis: Essentially stock when viewed from underneath. HRS chassis and donor chassis allowed| Interior: Lightweight interior allowed. Motor can be braced to rear axle bushes. I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Dave's a top man and we will all learn some new tricks from him. Race Catering will be in full effect during the weekend - probably not for dinners, but you never know! I hope you guys make the most of this opportunity. Mac Quote Podiums are for short people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlotsNZ 203 Report post Posted July 15, 2021 Results from Round 1 of the Legends series tonight. Will get a movie done later Richard beat Ryan for 3rd place by 0.49 of a second across 6 minutes of racing...... (The 6.8 lap given Mac was someone crossing into his lane in front of him, just an anomaly, doesn't affect number of laps) Quote Recovering Slot Addict * Custodian of many used screws (mostly loose ) * Total kidder * Companion of other delusional slot addicts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlotsNZ 203 Report post Posted July 20, 2021 Yo JK - I have a couple of others wanting a white kit. Would you still like me to get one for you if I do another mixed order. The blighters have put their freight up - they must have been selling at a loss... would work out to $80 for a white kit. They also have a few left with paint defects - that work out cheaper than white kits, blue, white, green, "Smokey"(black and gold) at $75 each Quote Recovering Slot Addict * Custodian of many used screws (mostly loose ) * Total kidder * Companion of other delusional slot addicts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
