Lest we forget
Great respect to all those whom have served our Country, to keep it strong and free, and especially those that made the ultimate sacrifice.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Thanks again for hosting another day of racing at this fabulous venue. Looking forward to the next one.
See attached the photo of the guide wire that just snapped off my Stratos G5 car. This has always been an issue with these cars when using the stock set up with set screws. Now I have a reason to swap the set screws with brass eyelets.

Honda RA 271
I have always liked the Honda F1 cars and own the excellent DArt Honda RA 273. I purchased a "Munter" John Warren Honda RA271 kit over a year ago.
The inserts provided were too large to fit the RS Slot 15 x 7 wheels so DArt inserts were used instead along with DArt tires, mirrors, and the red Sun off a DArt decal sheet
The resin exhausts looked too fragile so I bent some copper wire and reproduced the exhaust system.
The driver figure has seat belts molded in however I believe they were not used in the real world of 1964. Since I was not aiming for total accuracy, I decided to use it along with a car # that was not used during the season.
So here it is.

Group25 show spoils
I reserved a table at yesterdays Group25 show last fall or I would have been at Nova Ridge. I bought more than I sold. Oops.
The 1/32 Russian Yak-18 will eventually be hung as a decoration above my new track. It will be painted as a stunt/show plane.
The red Strombecker Chapparal 2D is an odd looking thing.
You can't have too many Camaro's. Can you?
I bought five 1/25 kits. I might turn one into a slot car.

Thank you for hosting, it was a fun day of racing with a great group of guys. Too many close battles in every class to mention.
We are all very lucky to be able to race at such an incredible venue. I'm looking forward to the next race.

New track in the east
Basic plans have been drawn up by Art to make a 2-lane new track in my basement.
Art was kind enough to take on the task of fitting a small track into a tiny basement.
I don't have a name for it yet. Maybe the KRZ Twister? Name suggestions are most welcome.
The final dimensions will be on a 5' foot by 10' foot base.
The closest rooms to the track are the washroom and kitchen. It should work out well to host races for small groups.
Everything in life is time sensitive. I should have done this a few years ago. Thank you to Art for accepting the challenge.

…and another thing…
Since we were speaking about Sunbeams and Ken’s kit that he will hopefully mold yesterday I thought I’d post a pic of my 1/24 Sunbeam Tiger. It is complete with Maxwell Smart and shoe phone. Hands free devices weren’t required by law in the 60’s ;)

Ferrari 246 SP Dino
The sharknose Grand Prix car evolved in the early 60's at the same time as the sportscar. Racing in 1961 and 1962 the Ferrari 246 SP achieved some success.
Here is Rodriquez in the Targa. I opted to fashion his french team mate. I started with the DArt body kit.
I planned to mate this kit to an ASS (A Simple Sled) chassis.
So far so good...

The long search for fine grill screen material
I found some of the ladles with the fine mesh at a local Bargain Dollar store.
They had single large for 4.99 and the same large with a smaller ladle also for 4.99.
Anyway if anyone needs one or 2 let me know. I can bring them out next time we race or check if you have a Bargain Dollar near you.

The long search for a DB5
I bought a static Airfix DB5 kit a while back in hopes to make a slot car. I brought it home and found the body warped and unbuildable. I brought it back for exchange. I waited two weeks for another kit. I opened it up at the store and it too was unbuildable. I got my money back.
I saw another Airfix DB5 kit at another hobby store several weeks later. I paid for it and opened the box in the store. Another warped body. That's three warped/unbuildable kits in a row.
I have been eyeing this Scalex 2019 revival livery for quite a while. Everything in life is time sensitive, so I gave in. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with it yet. But it looks better on my shelf than in the store. Plastic chassis slow sports car maybe?

Quick Vic
Sadly, Quick Vic passed away a few days ago. Excerpt below, followed by link to full article.
Seeing the true extent of his skill, Porsche continued to award Elford bigger opportunities leading up to 1968—perhaps the height of his career. He famously won the Monte Carlo Rally and the 24 Hours of Daytona in the span of one week, going on to win the Targa Florio and the Nurburgring 1000 that spring. In July 1968 Elford drove an obsolete Cooper T86B to a fourth-place finish in his first F1 start on a wet Rouen-Les-Essarts circuit. He won his class twice at Le Mans, and was the first driver to lap the Circuit de la Sarthe at over 150mph (in a Porsche 917 longtail). Though he’s best known for his rally and endurance racing accomplishments behind the wheels of various Porsche racing cars, he also competed in Can-Am, Trans Am, NASCAR, British rallycross, and even the Paris-Dakar rally raid. Elford was awarded the French Order of Merit in 1972 after stopping mid-race to attend to the scene of Jo Bonnier’s fatal crash at Le Mans.
