Stewart Raceway currently consists of two custom routed H.O. scale raceways: Stewart Raceway II is a residential 4-lane, 70′ routed track situated indoors in an air-conditioned environment; Stewart Raceway III is a 6-lane 78′ routed track situated in a detached garage on the same premises with a bit more room for larger race meets. Both tracks convert to multiple layouts, including oval racing.


We regularly meet for races or track days every Saturday.

Stewart Raceway is located in the California Bay Area’s Santa Cruz Mountains, just minutes away from Highway 17 and Summit Road.

This is my first NSR slot car.
I read up on what I thought was the correct way to make the adjustments for this new NSR slot car

But apparently I might be doing something wrong the car is fast.... . But it makes a lot of grinding noise I can't seem to get rid of the grinding noise.

Any thoughts suggestions help would be greatly appreciated........ Thanks.

The NSR car is a Porsche 908\3 the new limited edition golf number one.

Hi, building a test track to try out my 1/24 scale dragsters, how do I go about calculating a shut down area for the car to stop ? 


My space is limited, about 16 feet, was thinking of cutting the power off about 11 feet, anyone  have any suggestions on how  to go about this ?

 Good Morning,

yes its 1st November, so we should be looking at compiling an entry list for the Spring Proxy next year.
Start Date for the Proxy would be announced by the 1st January but I would probably be looking to start the series mid March, so I would want cars delivered by 1st March.

Final Entry Registration & Payment Date 1st February.

Entry cost  
Hopefully the same as now £10 for one car and £15 for 2 car entries, but I will review the transport costs in January.

I am limiting the entry list to 36 cars 

Here is the Entry Form
https://forms.gle/mu55ofzYLpMGSDXB9

Good luck with those GT Sports Cars builds 

As I receive the entry forms they will form the basis of the entry list which I will post when sufficient number has been received.

I do like controllers, and I thought this new model from the Spanish retailer Cric-Crac was interesting for one particular feature...   

   

   


I thought the torque switch was a bit different, and was going to ask any Spanish members in here what that was about! But reading the spec sheet, I think it translates into a switch that changes the trigger mapping. Any other thoughts?

Characteristics:

- 100 x100 electronic control.
- Magnetic trigger.
- Sensitivity Potentiometer (40 positions)
- Brake potentiometer (40 positions)
- Switch with two types of curves (Torque).
- Antispin YES/NO switch
- 1.5m silicone DS cable.
- Compact connector DS-0010

It's sold out pretty quickly, so must have got something right.

I thought this would be a useful list also.  

Cars raced in the Mille Miglia 1940-1955

Cars raced in the Mille Miglia 1927-1957

We have a Christmas special coming up in a few weeks, I thought it a worthwhile exercise to gather a list of cars that entered the TF up to the end of 1972 which is what our event will be, this could end up on next years race calendar replacing a couple of normal Slot Rally nights.

These are cars that entered the Targa Florio and either finished, didn't finish or were disqualified.  I didn't include cars that were entered but didn't arrive or the cars that were in the pre-race as they aren't official TF entrants.

With a possible proxy next year to include Targa Florio cars from 1966-1970 here's the list of those cars too

I'm new to SlotRacer forum, looking forward to learning more than what I already know (which probably isn't much) but anyway glad to be a part of the forum.

I don't race professional/commercial or out side of my home (maybe some day)

I now run my cars on an analog Scalextric two lane track. The new sport track.

 Good morning everyone

Background
I have learned since undertaking running proxies, that you can think you have a great idea for a proxy, but you need sufficient number of people sharing the same desire in order to make it a practical proposition. So in the last couple of years I have canvassed opinion from previous entrants on proposed Themes and then taken a vote on the outcome.

With the completion of the "Triple Crown" series of Proxies next Spring, I decided to follow a different path, thereafter I will only plan for "one off's"  proxy events in the future, but will still canvas support in advance as to the subject matter or theme of the proxy.

Although next September seems a long way to go, I start planning early in order to give slot car builders plenty of notice, so the first question of which one to go for needs answering by the end of this year, so I can announce the Theme latest in January.

I decided next year I would like to organise a purely Classic or historical based Proxy, which I know is risky as some of the current entrants will not be interested in this aspect of racing and conversely some new participants might be encouraged to try it out (as I once did some 3 years ago).  

So the OPTIONS I am asking your opinion on are:

OPTION 1 - Goodwood Revival Proxy
OPTION 2 - Historic Road Races Proxy

ONLY one will be chosen to run next year based on the feedback I receive. Personally I like both ideas equally so I remain impartial unless a deciding vote is necessary.

Car Lists.
As far as I know there is no definitive list of eligible cars for the Goodwood Revival OPTION 1, so it is basically any car which would have raced anywhere in the world that meets the description of the Events listed.

For Historic Road Races OPTION 2 the website https://www.racingsportscars.com lists all the cars which entered and ran in the Road Races.
For Millie Miglia, Carrera Pan Americana and Targo Florio select "Event" under the Races tab and write name in.
For Tour De France select "Title Contains" and write name in.

They will both use the same Technical Rules Guidelines I have outlined  on the attached table. 

Proxy Format
The main difference in the way these two themes will be run is that:
The OPTION 1 it would be planned to run on straight forward fixed Slot Car race tracks both at clubs and home based. This proxy would be run Championship style with accumulated Points for each of 10 Rounds.

The OPTION 2 would as the name suggests warrant running on both straight forward fixed tracks and also some single track types designed for Rally Slot cars (but not severe) probably 50/50 and would be run  Rally style accumulated times over 10 Rounds (possible 2 stages per Round)

Car construction Classes
this time I am specifying only Class A Standard and Class B open types of construction as indicated below.
I have the idea that we can award both Class A and Class B winners for each Programme Event (depending on sufficient number of Class entries in each Event), which differs from the format we used previously.
A Team award would remain for those with 2 car entries. It is worth mentioning that a Team can be a collaborative arrangement between 2 entrants from the same club or nearby location. That would be treated as one "Team Entry" as long as both cars can be sent back to the same destination (ie same postal costs)
And a "Spirit of the proxy" award for the self decorated cars.

I am open to interest from both existing and NEW entrants, but please only complete the questionnaire if you are motivated sufficiently to be committed to entering a car or two into the proxy. I will confirm through pm or email if your Questionnaire completion has been received, if I don't it probably means that somethings gone sadly wrong with my IT skills.

The Themes are outlined below, but both the details within the events or technical rules are only proposals until one or other of the OPTIONS are chosen.
I would be looking at around 20 -25 respondents in order to declare a preferred choice to run next year.

            

For Goodwood Events there is now two choices in the Programme for Event 3a St Mary's Trophy (4 seater Hard top Saloon Cars 1960-1966) or 3b (Whitsun Trophy Sports Prototypes 1960-1965). One will be chosen  along with fixed Events 1 & 2 depending on the respondents preference on the questionnaire.

The questionnaire is attached below

I look forward to seeing the feedback
