slotmadmac Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Cheers for the big turnout tonight. Not so sure that the Legends are suited for a big open track like mine, but they were fun to run nonetheless. Personally, after the series is over, I’d be keen to move to alloy rears and decent tyres for these cars - or even just good tyres if we can find something suitable that fit the stock hubs. Seems a shame to run these honeys under their full potential. BRM do nice NASCAR inserts that will look the goods if we move to alloys and I would be happy to get a bulk lot in if that’s the consensus going forward. Alloys and good rubber is an easy fix within everyone’s reach. That’s my 5c but, as always, happy to go with the flow. Quote Podiums are for short people.

SlotsNZ Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Here are the results from the Legends, and the table after 2 rounds. I had the final lap segments on paper, and they separated everyone into a clear order. Mac is head and shoulders above the rest - except for marshaling, where he and Ryan are about tied ......

David Carter Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Yes it is Mac It was a very very hard decision for me to make but as there wasn't anyone in club that could take it, it just had to happen in order for me to move on with other plans Given that my shed is no longer a slot cave I will pass the piebone trophy onto Pedro as he is another holder of the title from the last piebone400 Peter, I will drop it into you one day during the week on my way passed Quote Holdens rule the rest just drool slot cars are my drug, ATCC/Bathurst proxy host NZ Grp5 proxy host.

I really need to get that 55 chevy up and running again I really didn't want the black widow track to end this way and it was a very hard decision that I had to make.

SlotsNZ Posted July 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Yup. Just to pre-warn, I will probably depart 2.87 seconds after we complete Legends racing, for the proverbial tea and toast, as we are 3 part knackered, and 4 parts stuffed, after completing clean and refurb of 2 rentals in under 3 weeks.
