    • Can Am thunder poll Newbie question: Is a slim-line FF style motor the same as the slow motor we use in 50's GP? I have a Monogram 1965 Chaparral 2C that I would like to use in the pre 66 early series with the slim style motor. Can I use it if slow motors are voted in? If It's not the same, what is the RPM of the slim-line FF style motor? Thanks

    • Forum Server Update (Jan. 21/16) The following addition was made: - In addition to Gravatar all registered users may now upload their own avatar; The following change was made: - To eliminate duplicate thumbnail images being displayed both in posts and replies the multiple image upload plugin was removed and a setting was changed to disable attachments from view unless inserted into the post by author. This means that previously convenient multi file uploading of pictures from your local directory to the server is no longer possible - you must upload each image one at a time right now. The following addition was made: - Voting and polls plug in added. Art :good:

    • Sebring 1957 Just to see how this works, so we may as well have the Wayback go way back. These images are from my dad's collection taken almost 60 years ago, so please keep them within the group. Due to the 100k suggested limit the images have become a bit grainy. Should anyone be interested contact me for larger file sizes. As time goes by I'll try to figure how to add a little info to each image.

    • Target 100k per Picture For those of you sharing/uploading images - please try to target 100k (or less) for the file size. If you wish to upload anything larger then you will first need to change the format/size/resolution to get it down to a manageable size (ie. a digital photo from my camera can be as large as 4mb each). Cheers - Art

    • Uploading Files Images are straightforward but I've added an individual file uploader which will allow us to upload more types of files, such as .pdf and .doc . The only restriction is file size which I've limited to 500k - unfortunately most MSword files well exceed that... Cheers! Art

    • Race To Line vs. Race To Laps & Rotate On Time Some of you remember the days of SRO and SS32 when many hosts used SRM, a DOS based timing system. The advantage was that you could take an old DOS based piece of sh*t and give it renewed purpose. Each host used their own preferred timing method with this software. One method (and the best one in my opinion) allowed everyone to race for a set amount of laps in every lane and the total time to complete their laps would be used to determine the race finish order with the fastest (lowest) time winning. This worked well enough with the one huge drawback that no heat was finished until the last car ran its total number of laps. You didn't need power shut off for this timing method and you could make the timing hardware yourself. Other hosts used the old school timing method whereby every racer would start at the same point on the track (usually the start/finish line) and then race with the others for a set amount of time in each heat, rotating into another lane from the point at which they stopped, or out, or in, depending on rotation order. After power for the final heat switched off you would look at the screen to see the total laps run by every racer and ties would need to be manually recorded based on finishing track position, with the car finishing more of the lap placing higher. Often the track would be divided into 1/10ths to make tracking finish position easier. Several drawbacks existed when using this method: the racers were often spread out and on longer tracks there was little passing or excitement, cheating was possible when rotating your car (especially after sitting out a while) and the results often needed to be tabulated manually. Then came along SlotTrak which allowed an additional timing method of 'race to line' along with refueling. (To Be Continued)

    • SlotTrak version 12.32 Gents, In my opinion the best timing software is SlotTrak Pro. The current version is 12.32 and those of you with version 11.xx will need to pay $15 U.S. to upgrade, otherwise a fresh install is $75 U.S. . You will need to receive your registration key from them in order to run the software for more than a few laps... I recommend that you install the software on your computer first and test it before payment/key request. SlotTrak Commercial can control individual lane power and is designed for those that sell time. SlotTrak Software Every track in our rotation (but for The Lake) runs SlotTrak (either 11.xx or 12.xx). One of the benefits of this is that several of us can assist whenever an issue arises. I would urge each of you to read the manual SlotTrak Manual after installation. SlotTrak works seamlessly with Trackmate hardware which can be purchased at Trackmate Racing. Most in our group use the Trackmate for windows module, power relay module, driver stations, track call buttons and at least the DC Power Supply 3020 (30v, 20A). Cheers! Art B-)
