The River 10.10.24
#1

Another fun evening of racing was had by 8-racers at the Riverhampton Grand Prix Raceway.

After about an hour of casual practise time. The usual slot car delicacy, hot pizza, was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.  Pizza

The track is called the Riverhampton because the host lives near the Don river in Toronto.

   

Up first were the 50's/60's Boulevard Cruisers. An all scratch built class. 14k slow motors. Not your typical RTR slot car.

   
   

Then came another one of our favourite oldie classes. Pre-war streamliners. Another scratch-built class. Anything before 1939. 14k slim line slow motors only. Any gearing.

   
   

Up next were the 60's 1.5L GP cars. Once again most of these are scratch built cars. The chassis are made of brass, or aluminum, or popsicle sticks, etc.

   
   

The last class we raced was the RevoSlot GT class. Box-stock cars with urethane tires.

   
   

I'll work on some play-by-play action for the next race. I'm still not used to taking pics let alone race results.

Everyone had a blast! We put friendship first, racing is secondary.

Thank you very kindly for looking.

I humbly thank everyone for the positive comments about the track and cars. But I only own one car in each group shot. I'm hoping some of the other racers (or track host) jump in and comment.

You want to see all the chassis? No problemo. No secrets. I'll try and remember for the next race.
