first corner crash Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Thanks Stoo. Look forward to seeing the rules. I think i am a starter for the event. Once the rules are posted i can hunt through the box to see if i have cars that comply or can be made to comply or whether i have an excuse to buy some new ones. I know Shane and Ray are keen to go and i heard Lenny Broke is thinking of going to. I think its one of those things that more publicity and enthusiasm will draw more entrants. Classes look pretty good and prepping that amount of cars if people want to race every event is a good bit of work. I think I am up for 4 or so but given the lead time might actually prep a couple more. The more people attending from different states the better it will be. Cheers Trevor.

stoo23 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Hello to All,..Again,.. So Sorry this took somewhat Longer than I had initially thought it would :( Just a Bad stretch of 'Timing',..etc,..you know how it goes sometimes,..lol The Rules, Schedule and hopefully, All other info is contained within the 'Links' as 'Posted' Here; 2011 MCN Rules, Schedule and Info There will also be a Graphic advertisement on the 'Hone' page of the ASCRA site. I have tried to keep the Basics of the chosen classes, ie; The Ninco GT, Slot.it Group C and SCX Nascars,'virtually' the Same as they had been Last time for those classes. The NSR Mosler and NSR Classic rules were arrived at after some discussion and chatting to Shane and others. The Scalextric Class IS a Magnet Class, but that is Mainly due to it being a fairly Well Attended 'Club' Class at HSC. The 1/32 Plafit Modern GT Rules are Pretty Much the Same as what has been run previously at HSC, having been 'adopted' from the 2009 Queensland Plafit class. The 1/24th Plafit JGT Class, is basically following the 'Current' Queensland and APC Rules, in Fact 'Further Details' concerning Required Body Parts etc can be 'Referenced Here; 2011 APC JGT Rules & Info Anyway,...Thanks to All for Your Patience! Hope you also ALl find then 'Suitable' !!,.. Cheers, Stewart and Obviously James & Wayne at HSC !!

Guest jazzbell Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) This would be great to see drivers come from Canberra Steve. In support of the event i'm doing some PR work from this end to try and help out Hornsby Slot Car for prizes for the event. Prizes from this end will be going to the NSR classes from thunderbirds. Another big thanks will have to go out for the support from Armchair Racer for the group C Slot.It class. Thanks Jim and Cathy. regards shane a team thunderbird Edited February 17, 2011 by jazzbell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoo23 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Accomodation for the 2011 MCN For those interested in Accomodation details, there are a couple of choices, with the Closest and probably lower/lowest cost, being the "Bluegum Hotel". Accom' details Here; http://www.bluegumhotel.com.au/accomodation.html Relatively simple, but OK and has been utilised by Many an Interstate Racer in the Past. It is situated about 3 to 5 minutes walk from the Track, on the Pacific Highway, a few minutes walk from Waitara Railway Station as well. It is a relatively large and popular hotel, with a very popular restaurant. A bit further away, there is the the "Wahroonga Spanish Motel", this is also situated on the Pacific Highway a bit before the Bluegum and Track. Arguably also a 'Walkable' distance, but might suit those with cars/families etc. See here; http://www.ourguest.com.au/wsm.html There Are other options, but are further away.

lenny broke Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi Guys I think you may need to fix the promotional poster, the dates are different to those in the rules posted by Stu. Re the SCX NASCAR rules, Are the earlier "aero" cars eligible to race in this class, or is restricted to the later COT cars?

stoo23 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Are the earlier "aero" cars eligible to race in this class, or is restricted to the later COT cars? OK,..good question!,..Damn!,..there's always something isn't there?,..DOH!! Look,..to be honest, it is Not a Class I have ever raced or been involved with and in fact am unaware of the 'Differences' (performance/handling wise) that would be 'Relevant' as such. I guess at this stage my Best answer is,..'Good Question, Can I get back to you on That one?'

stoo23 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 In 'reference' to the Various Nascar 'Style' cars,..'Aero Vs COT',..Please Correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I can tell, they are 'Technically' the Same car, albeit with a different style Body Shell. Personally, I can see No 'Issue' apart from a 'Purists' standpoint that would preclude the Two styles of cars running together. If there ARE actually differences in Performance,..Please 'post' here for discussion. The Rules were based on those used for the Last MCN at Mobile Raceways, with the 'intent' of keeping a level of consistency to the various Classes. How was this resolved Previously?? The Ideal intention is to Have as many people as possible able to Compete, Not to Preclude those that Don't have a suitable car and force them to have to Purchase a New one, or find an Unobtainium model via ebay etc. Cheers Stewart Quote https://ascra.com.au/ https://aussieretro.ascra.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nulla Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) G'day Stewart This was a question I was meaning to bring up with you. We race SCX Aero and COT Nascars non magnet against each other with the older Aero cars being a few tenths quicker. The main differences between the two car is that the Aero cars sit lower and wider, also mechanically the Aero has a solid front axle and non pod chassis as apposed to the stub axles and pod chassis on the COT. To get the COT cars to go as fast as the Aero cars you need to stop the movement in the motor pod and put in a solid front axle.

kalbfellp Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) We found that the COT were faster than the aero cars. So it seems to depend on the track.The Aero cars are podded!

stoo23 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Well That IS Interesting !! Two Completely different suggestions 'Technically' and Performance Wise !!,.. I'm still wondering What was done previously in regard to this Possible performance MisMatch. What would You guys Prefer to race and/or as a suitable resolution ??

paulthetexan Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Hi Just a couple of tech questions Do the lights have to be connected on Scaley GT cars Can you glue the motor pod into SCX Nascars Also need to clarify racing format : are you racing equal track time or only fastest proceed to next round ? I'm trying to get a few guys from Queensland to commit , see how we go . Paul Edited February 23, 2011 by paulthetexan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jazzbell Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Also need to clarify racing format : are you racing equal track time or only fastest proceed to next round ? Hi Paul, To Answer this question it's in the rules under Racing Schedule And Contact imformation. This shows race format and race times. And yes the the fastest top 4 from each heat move up into the next heat or semi. So it's not equal track time. regards shane a team thunderbird Paul what's your opinion on the lights and gluing of the cradle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulthetexan Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi shane No lights means more power to the motor to me , but I don't have a preference , just looking for parity . With regard to SCX , If older cars have solid chassis I would prefer to allow glued motor pods . I believe they handle better for non-mag racing . Another question is with regard to slot.it tyres . Are we talking origonal Group C tyres out of the box or the new C1 compound tyres ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
