Congrats to Jason for bagging this track, and big thanks to him, Leighton and especially EME for the huge amount of work it has taken to get it up and running.
A spot of action, “caught on camera” and guilty pleasure. 
Thanks to Wendy for the food. - When do the lads become racers Jason?

11 slot-adictoos for an opening night in the middle of the holidays, that has to be a first; Plus Glen and his boys to visit.  

And in the words of every primary school boy ever 
“I baggs not to be the marshal at the corkscrew” :lol:

Hi Pedro

Regarding push in guides, Pat and I found some Problems with the joins not lining up quite right, so I'm going to sort that out before next meeting. You all would of heard the clicking  as you were running. I think the push in guides were good for that as it didn't do any damage.

Funny how you can run on a track and everything is fine, until you have a meeting and thing show up that are not quite.

I didn't like to mention the joins, not a serious issue, mostly noise but..... they are not like hitting a screw in the slot.

I have a couple of wee issues on my track I am struggling to resolve, after x years. I do think I have spotted where my hairpin needs a bit of bog.

I can’t seem to post pix here anymore - it’s saying my file size is exceeded. Used to be fine?

If you haven’t been reducing image size, you may have used up your 100mb allowance.

i use an image resize App to shrink all mine to 800x600 size, takes them down to about 100kb size instead of about 2mb

Next Thursday we gather at Oakland Raceway 

Week 4

1 Australian Touring Cars

2 NSR F1 etc  

3 GT3

IF, IF I get them sorted in time, we may replace one of the faster classes with a house class of my NSR Fiat Abarths

They’re rolling. I think we are probably better skipping the fast podded F1, due to possible wheel over wheel crashes at the two squeezes.

Listen up guys, this is NOT slot car related post.

Does anyone in the group (local), have a use for a SOLID wood dining table top, 8 feet x 4 feet, no legs /base.

It is a little scruffy, but it would  clean up beautifully.,

It has been cluttering up my shed/carport for 5 years since my sister passed away and I have not be able to come up with a use for it.

PS.

I changed my password and can now navigate, and post here it seems, touch wood.

However only on my laptop and MacBook. I pad and I phone still don't work.

Switch to DuckDuckGo on the phone and iPad, works a treat.
