Update
The qualifying session’s for the Revoslots and Procars will take place after the weekend.
We are still one Revoslot car short so I am hoping to see this by the end of the week.
And I have asked the entrants whose cars have track clearance issues in the Procar class to look at fixing their cars to make them compliant with the rules. However we will start on time at the Wirral club for Round 1 on the 11th April regardless.
I will be be busy over the weekend at the Wolverhampton Club’s Early Birds slot car race, running 1930’s and 1950’s Grand Prix cars

Can you post some pics of the Early Birds when you have time, I love pre-war and 50's GP's
Life is like a box of Slot cars...

Those are wonderful, I'm a Mercedes fan (W125, W154, W165). We often see about half of those on GP nights. I need to revisit my 3D chassis on some as they're unnecessarily complicated and tweak-prone.
...this could be a whole new thread.
I wonder if there'd be much interest in pre-1961 GP/F1 cars as part of a future proxy

I think we could include it as another Goodwood Revival Proxy in the future.

I am pleased to say that replacement wheels have been received for Ruscillo Racing's Mazda 787B, and it is now compliant with the Track Clearance rule.
As BAracer is on holiday, I will not receive the replacement wheels until next week, so I propose to go ahead with the qualifying anyway on Monday/Tuesday.
I am still waiting for the last Revoslot from Texas, in the hope that it meets the qualifying Round.

Good Morning,
I had time last night to upload the video's for the Modified Standard Class of cars run last week.
I believe PaintHorseOne Revoslot Entry has now landed in England, so hopefully will just about make the qualifying Round this week.
I shall be getting the Procars ready to test this morning with a view of running them later today or tomorrow morning.

A nice surprise to day as the final Revoslot car from "PaintOneHorse" arrived just now, so we will look at running the Revoslot Class next
