tsmsoccer 11 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 Just wondering what everyone is planning to do with their regular slot car gatherings now that we have Social distancing in place. I was having a few regulars around every Wednesday afternoon for a few hours of casual racing, We are all locals in the area and obviously retired hence the Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately in light of the latest Government announcements and general concern about groups in a confined space we have decided that at least for now we should postpone get togethers Charlie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan 8 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 We closed our club this week. You can't stand 2m apart on the podium so that would mean 2 car max on track so we haven't bothered...until who knows?

Wobble 106 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 Our group usually meets on a Wednesday evening but when the classes were sent out on Monday I decided to pull the plug on it. Turns out that all of the other guys felt the same way so now it's no go until further notice. The upside is I'll be able to sit back and enjoy some carp on the box with my wife tonight.

terry 36 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 Our little group seems to have taken that view,haven't heard from everyone, but thats how it will go My group pulled the plug on sunday night. None of us are invincible, although we all used to think we were, so we'll be keeping in contact through emails and the phone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlesx 53 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 Hi all. We had two members who had been overseas in last couple of weeks (one to cancelled Melbourne GP) so we cancelled our race meeting on 22/3. This will continue for at least NZ shut down time - one month. Keep safe everybody. Regards Chas Le Breton (charlesx) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyslots 1950 25 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 Bullring pulled the pin last Thursday,we have a few oldies that are not in perfect health & Glen's son has a very low immune system & the risk is too great. Everyone agreed the break was the safest option & with 15 odd regulars the 1.5 mtr safe distance would be very hard to enforce even with such a large room. Everyone keep safe & we'll get through this together. Cheers Jimmy upload pic Quote To finsh first,first you gotta finish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotbaker 9 Report post Posted March 24, 2020 Nice looking track. Do you lose many under the bridge? Quote Steve K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlesx 53 Report post Posted March 25, 2020 Hi Jimmyslots. Agree great looking track. You obviously have a very healthy group (virus accepted). Bridge section does not look like it should be too much problem. I have seen far worse. Regards Chas Le Breton (charlesx) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlotsNZ 115 Report post Posted March 25, 2020 HBMRC pulled the plug last week. Water all drained. Just a bunch of dry fellas wondering whether to bend the elbow, or go to the workshop. I do have a Slot-Fly [as opposed to a Fly-slot] BMW 320 part built. Will start a thread. Quote My Track Oakland Raceway V2 HMBRC Club Website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
