Cupcake 1/24 - Nov 30/24 - KensRedZed - 30th-Nov-24

Every once in a while our small group of friends races the larger scale cars. We had 5-racers and 4-classes.

1/24 is rather new to the group, so you can run a placeholder if you don't have the right car for a specific class yet. New cars take time and money to build. It's good to be patient with these things.

Up first were the scratch built Boulevard Cruisers. Full size family cars. Lots of fender rubbing with this class. They barely fit the track. That's the best part.

An open class. Run whatever motor/gears you want.

Someone figured out that the BRM Group-2 cars also fit on a 1/32 track. These cars are a lot of fun. They run really well. A stock class with urethane tires.

Then came the scratch built Muscle Car class (American cars). Another completely open class.

The last class to race is also the newest class on the board. It's called "Street Imports". Cyclone 21.5k motor restriction. Any gears. A few unfinished cars made it to the track. Some still had wet paint. Others no paint at all. Everyone seems to like this class right out of the gate. There is a buzz to build some new cars going around the neighbourhood.

Great report UK!( not United Kingdom) Unkle Ken.... This class is turning into my fave style of racing, 1:24. Great guys, great cars so far too. Can't wait to build my next one.
Any of you guys across the pond ever find yourself in the proximity of Toronto, be sure to reach out and join us for a race. Cars are available to lend out!
Cheers!

Cupcake,

I humbly thank you for being such a gracious race host. We all had a blast! Checkeredflag

Lunch was also a wonderful feast! Please kindly thank Mrs. Cupcake for us. Cake

I know of four new cars that will be on various workbenches in the group. Onward! Wrench
