I'm happy to announce that the slotcar club has expanded by one, Joe & Sam welcomed a brand new baby girl into the world on March 15th ! I can say that this is cerainly a first for the club, it's not unusual for members to show up each month with some impressive new creations, but, this is the first time 2 members have had a baby !

Congratulations to Joe, Samantha, and their new baby daughter, all the best !

It was all about minimizing mistakes......that was a race!
Good battles all around!

Congrats as well to Kevin on a 2.773 race lap. I lobby we review his membership; he's catching on too quickly, it's going to disrupt the hierarchy!

[challenger]

yes, a great charge from Kevin !

I have heard the expression " learning curve " - I think he has made it past the curve and is heading full speed on the straight away !!!

I have sent an e-mail out regarding our first Vintage Slotcar race day that is being planned and have already received replies back showing interest. One suggestion is that we include 1/32 scale vintage cars also, I'm good with it and I know Brant has suggested 1/32 cars in the past also. It will provide an opportunity for some of the local 1/32 guys to check out our club.

Feel free to forward ideas to myself or Brant, we are just in the planning stage now and it seems that there could be a large turnout.

Thanks, Jim

Terry's hotrod sweeps the Modified class this season for a perfect 30 points !

The final race of the season will decide the E.J.'s Midget & Nascar class, and overall champion.

* please note, the final race will take place on Friday June 22nd

The membership talked about planning the special event for Vintage slotcars at our last race night. It was decided by Brant that he would like to target the first Saturday in September after the Labour Day long weekend. Trying to put something together during the summer months has always been difficult with people on vacations and going to cottages etc. We would like to have an open 1/32 class to give the GTA 1/32 racers a chance to check out the club as well as 1/24 scale races. Due to the large variety of vintage cars we haven't decided on the exact classes yet, we have several ideas including qualifying and dividing the cars into brackets. Keep the ideas coming our way, there's a big interest in this so far.

Hello everyone,

This Friday, June 22nd is the final race of the 2011-2012 season, then we take a break until September. Brant will also be presenting the Awards for all classes and the overall Champion.

Nascar & E.J.'s Midgets will be the classes, please confirm attendance with Brant.

E.J.'s Midgets

Jim Toye Chuck Ingram Joe Salvaterra



This one looked like a record breaking runaway for Kevin Field, but, a late race gear failure handed the win to Jim, with Chuck & Joe not far behind

Nascar

Jim Toye Terry Dalton Kevin Field



this was a record setting run, with the 1st & 2nd place cars smashing the previous lap total and E.T. for the class !

I'm working on the full points for the season and will post the final results shortly.
