charlesx Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Hi Oldman. Shaynus already posted my photo on 18/6. I am looking forward to seeing other entries/photos. I see Scalextric are about to offer 1979 Camaro Z28 but not available for sale yet. Mine is as close as I could get.

Oldman Posted June 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 Hi Charlesx, your car arrived today all in good condition nice looking car. Ill try to get a photo off the cars that I have so far if Shaynus has time before he heads off on holidays thanks Oldman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesx Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Thanks for advice Oldman. I got the same from courier that it had been delivered yesterday so good to get confirmation. No idea how it will go on your tracks/surfaces or with your drivers as everything is so different to home. Car was also barely tested so hope it holds together. Trust you will sort MJK tyres as apart from my rally and Tasman cars they are not allowed locally. While this car has some weight I did find motor very peaky unlike equivalent Slot-it and NSR motors which are very smooth. They appear to use a lot of these motors in Canberra though so perhaps I am worried about nothing. All I can say is drive smooth and let the car do the rest. Really looking forward to this proxy as my last was a total disaster entirely of my own making. Sports Racer will know what I mean.

Sports Racer Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Car is in the post. Hope it clears Customs in time (WA is a different country to NSW and they do everything different over there).

Peter Gunn Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 This was a bit late for me to have a go at this year , interested to see some pictures of the entries give me an idea of doing something for the future , are fantasy liveries allowed , best of luck to all involved ( except Paul, Sports Racer ) he don't need it chuckle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted July 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Thanks Mr Gunn, photos in 2..3 weeks when Shaynus gets back from holidays .....I made a few mistakes mainly not enough time to build the cars hopfully I get it right next year. Received the MJK tyres from Syd (wascg) thanks Syd..... now 28 wheels on the tyre truer ( like John said it will like watching the wheels go round ) thanks Oldman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesx Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hi Oldman. You must have a big tyre truer but I do not have one of those flash ones so what would I know. Looking forward to photos. Sounds like all the cars have arrived and you have ended with 14 entries which is excellent. Keep up the good work. Do not get giddy watcjhing those wheels go round.

Sports Racer Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Do you do a final truing on the wheels that they have to go on? Mine need a final trueing with 1600 grade (wet) and the outer corners sanded back to clear the bodywork. 1s't cut, 2mm @ 45 degrees. 2nd and 3rd at 30 degrees off the 1st cut, 1mm please. Should only take you an extra hour or 2. You've got nothing better to do, right? If my car doesn't win every race I'll blame you. Don't you love being a proxy organiser.

Oldman Posted July 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Not a problem Sports Racer but I think its a lot of work being the best place you could get is 2nd place.

charlesx Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Hi Oldman and Sports Racer. I thought you guys raced on 250 grit paint so you can sand the roof and sides as well as the tyres. While you guys try to take each other out perhaps somebody else might sneak past. Probably not me.

Oldman Posted July 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 HI Sports racer, your car arrived today just waiting for two more cars to get here and Shaynus to get back from holidays( he is the photo man) thanks Oldman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports Racer Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 A week to get from my country to yours and clear customs. I'm impressed. Quote May the downforce be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesx Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Hi Sports Racer. Almost as impressive as my experience. West of East Island to West of West Island in 9ays via Sydney stop-over. Don't you just hate to be second. No doubt you will make up for it on track. I may have to release a few sheep to slow you down. Regards Chas Le Breton (charlesx) Edited July 12, 2022 by charlesx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesx Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hi Oldman. That first race must be getting fairly close. Hope tyre mounting went well. 14 pairs of tyres to glue and true would have kept you pretty busy. Cannot wait to see Sports Racer whizzing past.

Oldman Posted July 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Im trying to get drivers for Wednesday evening Im sure it will go ahead im looking forward to getting it started .Im moving the track to a bigger shed in aprox 4 weeks time so Ill go to plan B which I dont have right now but Im working on it,.......thanks Oldman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
