Australian Slot Car Racers Association

Whilst I'm probably unlikely to make the trip south, I have a couple of questions.

1) what direction does it run
2) what is the track length

very nice looking track indeed. would look right at home in my shed

A big thanks to Wayne and family for putting on another great SRC round.

Despite breaking a guide (again), stripping another replacing it and running dead last, I had a ball. The track is awesome fast, and I think I'm getting a handle on my "king" cars, as well as starting to get my head around the ...

Yeah, I saw

Explains peopke using tie rails to hold it all together.

Does 0.005" dia pass?

sure does. There is NO minimum rail thickness

thx. I'll keep an eye on it.

I think we know the answer to that though, which is why GVP style are soldered both ends on the outside rail.

many are using hinges, etc and then a .032 tie rail so that there is a solid connection front to rear. I have done this with my "spoon" chassis which doesn't ...

A door in your house is connected to the door frame via a hinge. So does that satisfy the definition of "connect"?


I love that explination. this is one of the methods I've been thinking about and unsure whether this constitutes a "connection". when used in the door example, it most definitely is ...

I've been toying with the idea of building a tuning fork car for some time. many designs such as the GVP have been successful in the states, but there is one part of the way people are building them that just doesn't make sense to me.

most people are using a set of .062 fork rails inside either ...

OK, I'm no Stoo, but I'll have a crack at this. No pics sorry.

A smaller turnout than we have been used to this year, but the racing was still hard and fast. A single race per class kept the marshalls busy and we thank them for the thick skin they put on to stand beside the track for us while we ...

nice one Stoo.. that pretty much covers a great night

'Coloured himself GONE' - gone must be yellow then :) I finally got that F1 sorted again and wasn't hanging about.

watching Charles' F1 go round in the second race was a treat. can't believe he only beat me by 2 laps. that thing was quick!!

and if Steph had played as well, it would have been 6 boneheads from 11 starters :mrgreen:

Garry has done a fantastic job on the track, it's smooth and it's fast. Congrats to Darryl, a tough but fair competitor, and always fun to race with, along with the rest of the guys (and girl)

really ...

Interestingly, the TQ in both fields managed to (only) run 2nd..

Congrats and thanks to all for an absoloutely awesome nights racing

Can't wait for 2014 with more competition coming to play. I'm sure that Wayne, Cody and Lindsay will bring their "A" game

F1

Another great race and surprisingly clean for a fast and action packed F1 race. Justin blitzed qualifying (I have to give myself a wrap) and it was tight all the way down the order. Troy once again proved that consistency and punching out lap after lap presents a formidable race package, despite ...

Can-AM

Fox was super fast in qualifying, with Brad almost untouchable in the race, being super fast and keeping a clean set of heels. Peter was unlucky, having to pull out half way through the second bracket. Darryl came storming home to take and hold P3 in the last minute of racing.


Qualifying ...
