Springbok Racer

SOLD

Hi everyone, Never actually replaced my track, but decided to seriously sell it. I'd love to get $2500 ono. This time it will sell as it is listed on a few sites and the interest is very good. Regards, JanR

I have, thank you for your interest. I might just add that I have no intention of jeopardising any Auslot Sponsor interests - this is 100% a private collection that I have for sale, with no commercial connection whatsoever. Regards, JanR

Hi everyone, I started collecting NINCO, SCX and FLY cars in the early 90's until 2004. All the cars are still in their original boxes and have never been taken out. All the cars released during that period are in the collection. I would like to sell all of these cars, but I will not sell individual cars, only individual brands. If anyone is interested please get in touch and I will provide you with more information. Regards, JanR

Hi there, I have decided to sell my Ecurie Elite.au track. The footprint is 7m × 4.25m and the lap length is 30m. Please get in touch if you are interested. To setup all new will cost around $15k. So I was hoping for $2500 ono. All offers will be considered. I am happy to discuss whatever will work for both parties. There is a photo under the (Queensland) Members Home Tracks section - The Home of Springbok Racer. Send me an email on roestorf@gmail.com and I can provide more photos.

Hi guys, We are waiting for the 2018 heading to be created in this section. When that is done a complete set of these rules will be posted here. In the meantime please follow this link http://ausmcr.com/forum/index.php?/topic/50-2018-oapr-lmp/ Cheers, Jan

SORRY - POSTED IN WRONG SECTION please go http://www.auslot.com/forums/index.php?/topic/20295-2018-oapr-lmp-rules/

How good was it to see this class again being showcased as the pinicle Scale Model Car class we have (this past weekend at the Slotcar Fest at MrSlotcar in Melbourne). Together with the new Lexan GT3's they culminated into the fastest on track classes raced. The two classes are within 1 and half to 2 tenths from each other, which is very much the difference we have in 1:1 racing. If anyone wish to compare the two, head over to the 'Slot Fest' thread and compare the various teams racing their OAPR LMP's v Lexan GT3's. Don't just compare the two in general, because a fast GT3 car and driver, could get very close to a slow OAPR LMP car and driver. So make the comparison within the same team - or in sprint racing, for the same driver. It was also good to see such a variety of bodies being raced. We had Aston's, Audi's, Acura, Pescarolo, Peugeot, Lola, Lotus and Porsche - with great battles across the field. Cheers, Jan

Hi guys, This class showed why it will become one of the best classes in Scale Model Car racing we have seen in a long time - this past weekend at MrSlotcar down in Melbourne during the Slotcar Fest. Andrew's concept has proven to work and every aspect of it's specification is right. There is not just one body that work - they all work, which gives us variety on track and the beautiful array of shapes and liveries that make up Modern GT3 racing. The open chassis specification also showed that you can make anything work, from a basic Plafit chassis to an exotic CNC design, they all ran at the top level. It was great to see the ingenious modifications to commercially available parts and the combination of different pieces that guys have produced and assembled for such a fast, well handling and exciting class. Keep them coming. Jan

Hi guys, What a weekend - the level of competition was amazing. Well done everyone. Thank you to Greg for organising what is a fantastic concept and to PvH and his team for providing the backbone to make it all happen. I have said it before and it was very clear - you put on the right classes and race the right format, the event attract the best-of-the-best at all levels and produces the success level, this was. Congratulations to all the podium getters and to every driver for racing at such a high standard. Most of all, thank you for all the laughs, all the help and all the new friendships made. Not least of all for the best team mate I could have had - Mark. After looking over the results a bit closer, the following facts are emerging; this combination of classes realy works well together. If we compare fastest laps, it looks like this; SAGT 7.266, V8's 6.987, GT3's 6.689 and LMP's 6.594. Another worthwhile comparison, which is not always highlighted, are the laps done per minute of racing. This compares as follows; SAGT 7.81, V8's 7.90, GT3's 8.49 and LMP's 8.71. Finally it has to be said, that all the classes ran 25K motors, very similar rollouts, with only the SAGT's being a different minimum weight limit. Cheers, Jan

Agree Glen, track is fantastic. It is not often that you can say that about an eight laner. PvH and his team have created a masterpiece indeed. As for fast motors, the Jokers are going to need a lot more than that - maybe I can find a few youth cells this morning.... Cold beer, everything is bloody frozen down here. Cheers, Jan

All the SEQ guys are doing the final packing, flying early morning so should be at MR when it opens at 12pm. This is promising to be one of those special events that only happen when the right classes and formats are raced by a bunch of mates at a fantastic venue - can't wait for it to start. See you all there!! JanR

Yeah right.... mate you have never made up the numbers. Beautiful Camaro, look forward to seeing it in the flesh. Jan
