I thought this was hilarious and had to borrow it from FB

   

   

Our first AFX race of 2026 takes place on a rather rapid track, first used for our Mod & Tuners nights...

   

These F1 races are supported by AFX and hopefully soon by their European distributor. From a first batch of merch, we have three AFX hats left... It's strictly one each - so would new race or junior winners take a hat home?

   

I have taken a huge liking to the BRM brand . Maybe in my old age I like the size ?. However the quality is outstanding!

I decided I wanted to build the Piper P4 version as it raced at Kyalami in the Springbok series in the 60s. Thus I bought the white kit. 

While the quality of the parts is impressive the complete lack of instructions is curious to say the least.There is a single picture of the parts in the area where they fit. Seen in pic below.

       

So I sat for an hour or so fitting parts a looking where the fit. I then had to deduce the order of the build .
I had a file for the decals which I printed an started after painting

   

The story so far

The evening started off with some heavy tanks. These classic stock cars are powered by a Jack Rabbit motor. Minimum weight = 100-grams. Nobody pulls away very fast. But racing these is a lot of fun.

   
   

Up next were the Datsuns. A bracket class. Lots of break-outs. Fast cars end up losing, etc.

   
   

Then came the front motor Watson Indy cars. Another bracket class. Crazy when you break-out. You can't make up the lap. It's lost for good.

   
   

Up last were the Classic LeMans cars. Heads up racing. Stock gear ratios, and motors.

   
   

Thank you very kindly for looking,

Datsuns of the world unite! They were the first class up.

   
   

Front motor Indy cars were up next.

   
   

Prewar cars were getting dusty, and needed some love.

   
   

Up last were the Rally cars. These little cars are super fast for their size!

   
   

Thank you very kindly for looking,

Please kindly excuse me for falling behind on these reports. Life happens.

We started off the evening with our Mini class. Headlights are must because the room goes dark. Marshals are in panic mode. Best not to come off in the dark.

   
   

Then came LeMans 22k. Who doesn't love these cars?

   
   

Another club favourite are the Datsuns.

   
   

Last but not least. Front motor Indy cars.

   
   

Thank you very kindly for looking.

Evening everyone 

This Sunday is the annual Weevilsslotcars Swap meet.

Looks like a near sell out of traders and should be busy.

I haven't done a swap meet in a while as a stall holder,  but have booked a table this time around. 

I have an interesting selection of boxed cars, all new or test laps only. 
Also some very nice SCX Rally track that is looking for a nice new home.
3 x boxed Super Sliding sets, one unboxed Super Sliding set, and the SCX Rally Chrono set, boxed and perfect condition. 

If your in the area,  or even further afield,  come on down......

New NSR 2026 catalog available here : https://nsrslot.com/wp-content/uploads/2...lyHjtBaHhA

Where can ready made race track scenery be had from. Life is too short for paper, card or scratch build models.
What do you guys use?
