This made me laugh today. I can almost hear Jonathan Winters saying the words.

   

I want to log in to the forum from my phone.

I used my saved password but no go.

I clicked on reset password but no reply from the forum mechanism.....several attempts made.

Could an admin message me with my actual password so I can update it and share some pictures once I am in again?
The password saved in my google account doesnt work.

Thanks in advance.

We're back at the Barn on Wednesday with another evening of Scalextric digital racing using the RCS64 race management system.

The format is the same as last month with a Nascar club car team race followed by a Pioneer Legends pairs race.

Doors open at 6.30pm for practice and our digital driving school to get new racers up to speed. The racing starts at 7pm.

Entry is £3 for adults and £2 for under-16s. We ask that all young people aged 12 or below bring a responsible adult with them.

We also ask that if you have symptoms of Covid or the 'flu, please stay away from the Barn until you are fully recovered.

There are more details of our 2023 WHO/digital season in a pdf guide available as a download from our website: www.whoracing.org.uk/who_digital

   

Anyone able to identify this motor and spec. please? 

It's in a Scalextric RS500 that has a PCR chassis with a Slot.it inline pod and running gear but I think it may still be utilising the stock Scalextric motor and pinion?   

Not a bad thing but I just want to be sure.

Thanks for any help with this.

Great series on YouTube documenting the stripping and rebuilding of the Porsche Paris-Dakar 959 driven by Jacky Ickx to second in the 1986 race.

Scalextric spare parts are not always that easy to find but here are a couple of eBay suppliers which you may find useful:

AC Models spares

They both have an enormous range of spares available. I have used both and found them reliable and reasonably priced.

A new month ushered in the next rounds of racing at Viking SCC, with the return of the much anticipated/dreaded (delete as appropriate) Trucks.  If nothing else, these things provide entertainment, typically in the form of smiles and curse words in equal measures; and a very different driving experience from anything else the calendar has to offer.  This has been the first outing for the trucks in a while, and credit should definitely be given to Mike West for resurrecting the battered bits-box that the club trucks had become and servicing and piecing them together to give us a grid of smoothly functioning and good-looking trucks.
To the astonishment of all, most made it around the first few corners unscathed, only to be thwarted but the downhill section off the bridge; heavy trucks, little braking and a tight bend… carnage ensued.  However, as the laps went on and the driving styles adjusted, it wasn’t long before everyone was hustling the big units around the track with grace and speed.  Not to say the races weren’t without quirks.  A couple of jettisoned wheels, a blue lane truck that insisted on pirouetting and driving the wrong way back along the track with unfailing regularity.  All part of the fun, and something to be rectified in time for next week’s rounds.
Once the dust had settled (and the guard rails reinstated to their rightful positions), the results table showed Wayne H and Mick W tied for first with Ade C just pipping Skippy to the final podium spot by 1 point.

   
 
Then it was on to the main class of the night, the return of the ever-popular Slot It Group C.  As always, a grid of iconic cars lined up.  However, with the notable absence of Darren C and his Jaguar XJR10, the door was left open for Wayne H (with the only other big cat on the grid) to romp away, seemingly unchallenged, to a maximum podium tally for the night.  Not to detract from Wayne’s achievement; but it has certainly emerged that there is a clear and distinct advantage offered by the new Slot It XJR10 and its sleek, low, long and wide proportions. Could some levelling be called for to rein the Jags in? Watch this space…

   

Aside from Wayne’s clean sweep, racing throughout the grid was close and fast paced.  Nick P had an absolute stormer with his rapid and smooth Mercedes, regularly battling with Ade C’s Lancia and ultimately holding his nerve to finish one point ahead of Ade’s LC2, tied for second place with Mick W’s consistently fast Nissan.
Finlay once again provided an admirable performance, using the club car Nissan to regularly hustle his way into the mix in each race, and showing that in the right hands, club cars can be put to good use! And it was also a welcome return for Jon Darby, who returns to the club after a long hiatus.

   

So, points ties, close racing (pole-sitter aside), an attractive grid, and Jaguar, Mercedes, Nissan, Lancia and Porsche represented in the top 5.  This is why we all love Group-C.
