Nascars - Graham - 19th-Jun-26

it is approaching the annual "American Pie" National Slot Car event at Rockingham on Sunday, celebrating the different types of historic American Racing cars.

So for a change I decided to build myself 2 classic Nascars for the event

The 1959 Ford Thunderbird and the 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner

The Thunderbird made from a AMT body kit with a Richard Mack chassis and Scaleauto 30k rpm SC motor.
And the Roadrunner is a PGR Slot Cars 3d printed kit with PGR chassis and NSR LC 21k rpm motor.

Also to be finished hopefully today is a PGR Slot Car Ferrari 612P, for the Can Am event, photo later

Graham, I’m looking forward to great results!  PGR cars are on my radar, good luck

RE: Nascars - Graham - 22nd-Jun-26

Well yesterday was another great day at Rockingham "American Pie" Event and guess who won the Saloon Car Concorse.

Race wise it did not fair so well, but I enjoyed running the car and there is potential for improvement in performance to be developed for next time. 

It won the Concorse in spite of issues I had with the over lacquer reacting to give an adverse effect with the decals in places. So for next year the model will need sanding down again and a fresh approach to applying the decals, not sure if this was weather related or just more sensitive decals than I had in the past (never experienced this previously with the supplier)
