kalbfellp 88 Report post Posted September 13, 2007 Yes Paul: two Proxy cars. Chris Briggs's 190 gram Sports Sedan car in 2004 and Bob Mc Farland's BMW in 2003. Both brass scratch built chassis's. Bobs chassis was the most impressive handling brass chassis that i have driven,it was fantastic. It has some very small flex bars in it that seemed to dampen the movement very well.

chenglaw 4 Report post Posted September 13, 2007 Has any car ever beat Phil on his own track? Sport, we've got to try, don't we? Otherwise what's the point of racing? Lim I enjoy racing. Winning or losing is secondary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kalbfellp 88 Report post Posted September 13, 2007 Yes Paul sponge tyres,Ninco BMW body and ran 4.9 on Shelmore Park! Almost as quick as my Inter 32 with vac form body but Bob's car was easier to drive. Phil Phil Hobart Miniature Car Club Tassie Resins Email Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sports Racer 151 Report post Posted September 15, 2007 Lim, I plan on beating Phil next year. Don't know how but someone has to do it. Maybe I can trick him into giving away some local secret. Phil, what's the lap record on Shelmore Park and what are the specs of the car that did it? One of your cars? Paul May the downforce be with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sports Racer 151 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 That's seriously quick. Any specs on the plastic car? Model, weight, secret mods etc? May the downforce be with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kalbfellp 88 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 The plastic car was my Slot it Porsche 956! No great secrets just a very good set of P2 tyres,and some lead at about 123 grams! It has slowed a bit after 12 month of racing. Weight is a stip down each side and a piece stuck on either side of the motor. Gearing is standard and the motor is original 25,000. It is just one of those great cars that you get sometimes. Phil Phil Hobart Miniature Car Club Tassie Resins Email Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
