ooooo, nice. Is the driver Matt as well?

This is one of the contenders I am entering

It's the same track over here in WA that the Bathurst Proxy was raced on Charles, if that helps?

Thanks for prompt reply Grant. Mini already has Urethane tyres and may do the same for Nissan as in Perth at least Urethane is the order of the day. Pretty usual for Aussie except perhaps Canberra because of dusty conditions. Attach a progress photo of my Nissan and Mini so you can see I am serious about posting Friday. Running gear on Nissan is standard Sideways but Mini has an up-graded motor. Looking forward to racing against Shaynus again. Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx) PS. Photo to come as AUSLOT problem. In meantime have put on Facebook.

Both are OK. My track is pretty new, so isn't rubbered up as I do not use rubber tyres. The WA track is a club track so should be pretty rubbered up. The Austrian track is a home track the runs both rubber and urethane. For my track only I would recommend urethane as I will be cleaning it prior to racing.

Hi again Grant/Zegas. Ready to put Nissan together. Paint job looks OK. Just some advice needed. Are rubber and or Urethane tyres allowed. Which would you recommend as I could go either way. Definitely hoping to post Friday as it is all coming together pretty well. Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx)

Yes and the Maxwell House and the Kodak

That’s really cool.

Just some inspirations from Liverpool, those hot summer nights back in the seventies. The #23 Gordon Smee Monaro is a Pattos vac. formed body, the #1 Gene Welch Corvette a modified Revell and the Peter Crick Torana is a Scalextric. The latter is the best handling Scalex Torana I have, it's an absolute weapon. Thanks for looking, Chris.

Ta Grant/Zegas. Everything I need thanks. Have started painting Nissan so it should be finished soon. Hope to give first run at one of our local track tomorrow night. My kids are in their late 40's, early 50's so I am an earlier generation than you. My oldest GKS however are in similar position to your kids. I will send a photo of cars shortly. Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx)

oops, thought this was on PM, just realised it wasn't. Might be a case of too much info.

Great to have you onboard Charles. Numbers are fine, I'll add them in. PayPal is fine, Entry fee is $30US. lyons.gb@gmail.com please make it a family or friend payment. Postal address is; Grant Lyons 58 Main Street Lithgow NSW 2790 Australia Work? .... Work! that was just the easy part of it, my daughter is last year high school doing HSC (like the old UE) which means I have to relearn high school math, that is surprisingly hard for an engineer. She's also learning to drive (me teaching), learning to ride a motorbike (me teaching), horse riding comps etc., first job, socialising. I tell you it is very hard being a teenager in your mid 50's. Son is 18 months behind so he is in next years schedule.

Hi Grant. Thanks for giving me a very, very late entry to your proxy. Entry will be fairly basic. A Sideways Nissan with custom paint and my Bathurst 1000 proxy Mini 1275 but I will try to get latter going a bit better as still in basic Scaly trim except for motor. Looking at your entry schedule I see my number 33 is gone but if OK I will make Nissan No.2 and Mini is already number 5 which appear free. Hope this is OK. Can you tell me entry fee again, how to pay and your address for delivery. Paypal would be good if you can. Yet to paint Nissan (white kit) but that will not take long. Have not decided on colour scheme yet but have masked. I will endeavour to post this Friday or following Monday at latest. Great to hear it was work and not illness. I am getting back to normal but at least feel like playing/building Slot cars. Have been racing all the way through but cars are now getting much needed attention. Regards from NZ Charles Le Breton (charlesx)

After such a busy year I think I have finally found time for hobbies again, I really do apologise for the delays, I'm generally not that kind of person. I have set the weekend of 2nd - 3rd August 2025 for the homologation & racing. 2nd Aug - Saturday AM - homologation 2nd Aug - Saturday PM - testing & repairs as required (if no-one wants me to touch their cars or if any special instructions please let me know.) 3rd Aug - Sunday - Time Trial 2x runs each car, 1 on each lane. Don't think I can livestream but will video and amateurly edit along with photos. Still waiting on a couple of entrants vehicles, and a couple of fees.

No personal problems Charles, just way too busy. Sorry to hear you have problems, none too serious I hope. If you can get one together in two weeks then your in, I am going to set a date of 2nd -3rd August for homologation and racing, so if you can get it in by then you are more than welcome. Keep well & keep happy, you only get one shot at life.

Is yours the white 3d printed Ford in the picture?

We ran the final race "for this session" of the Carrera Nascars last thursday night

Hi Zegas. Hope you are getting over your personal problems. I have had a bad start to 2025 too but seem to finally be coming right after many months. Have even started to build my Group 5 car even if too late to join your proxy. Also currently doing up-grades and repairs on na number of my cars that have been patiently waiting to be serviced. Looking forward to watch and reading about your proxy. Regards Charles Le Breton, New Plymouth, New Zealand.

Memories of the Penrith oval and SCX NASCAR races. Really enjoyed that track and yours looks pretty choice.

Today was the next round for H & R Vintage NASCARs and there were 5 entries.TQ went to Luke with 3.097 seconds and 0.4 seconds covered the field in qualifying.The race was close in the first half with Tony,Luke and Plucka seperated by a lap at one stage before Tony broke away from that battle to win comfortably with 319 laps from Luke 305 and Plucka 299.Leah was next with 292 and Roofta 288.

Today was the next round for Carrera NASCARs on the oval and there were 8 entries.TQ went to Tony with 2.857 secs and only 0.4 seconds covered the rest of the field.Dave and Jared had a great race long battle with Dave winning with 363 laps from Jared 362 and Tony 337.Luke headed the midfield group with 321 from Fred 310,Leah 303,Plucka 297 and Roofta 296.

The track from Slot Shop that was used for the Slot.It and NSR Nationals has now been installed at Outlaw Slot Cars and will be operational in the next week or two.

No, I know Eddie from Slot Shop have been chasing them but last I heard they couldn’t get a definitive answer. Hope they get the flares right on these as they do a really nice job and it would be good to have it accurate to the race cars.

I like the Escort and Arbath.

Any word of when the XE and VK are due out??
