    • The Nova Ridge Experiment A little while back it was discussed that the Nova Ridge track lane spacing might fit 1/24 or 1/25 scale cars. The idea went to sleep for a little while. Then a friend at the Group 25 modeller's club said he had a dozen 1/25 full size bodies, chrome, and window kits for sale at $5 each. The perfect solution for a test. Art was with me that day. We both jumped at the opportunity, and bought all twelve kits (see classifieds if you want one). Test #1 - The bodies were set on the track to see if they could pass each other. A painted body was located at the recent Group 25 slot car flea market. The paint sucks, but it too was only $5. It sped up the test. A chassis was made to fit using 1/32 parts. One of the points of this test was to make it affordable (Cheap!). A Fox-10 motor was used. They retail for $8.95 US and Professor Motor has over 8,000 motors in stock. A nice affordable set of DArt wheels and tires were used to round out the test. This is the test car made with a $5 body. This is not a new class. It's simply a test to see if these cars can pass each other without creating a smash-up derby. We definitely expect these "Big Bruisers" to trade paint. This test only applies to the Nova Ridge track. These cars won't fit anywhere else. The 1/25 scale cars will likely not be a part of any 1/32 race. It may end up becoming a once-in-a-while evening here and there. Time will tell. Five Nova Ridge regulars have already bought a 1/25 body in anticipation. JMSracer has the coolest 1960 Ford Starliner already built and ready to race. The test continues. More to come. Ken

    • Nova Ridge Open House I delivered these four lovely Fly Classics to Nova Ridge yesterday in time for Mike's Open House. Mike's guests had a blast running them at a lower voltage. Some were even half decent racers!!! After some practice we ran an IROC race for several guests who were keen to try. Met many interesting friends of Mike, including one of the four creators of Trivial Persuit and another a prominant Canadian comedian - a local Mississauga boy and muscle car enthusiast too! Sandwiches and wraps provided by Casa Dolce were scrumptious too! Many thanks to Mike for inviting us to play in his man cave! Thanks to Porsche911 and Kensredzed for helping corral the cats too!!!
