Posted: Thu Jul 27, 2017 11:28 amGood ol' Dino! That car has many memories attached to it for us old guys. The TJet HO Dino was very popular when it came out, and many of us wanted to see Monogram or some other outfit make them in 1/32nd when we moved away from HO exclusively. Its interesting to see how many details and shapes are drastically different in the larger scale. I like it even better now. Good job!

Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2017 9:51 amVery nice build! Thanks for the look and have FUN racing it.
I'll be racing one of two HO scale Aurora Dino Ferrari cars (one Turquoise, one Blue) I have set up for club competition tonight here on Long Island. The bodies are original, with our spec "JLAW" (Johnny Lightning/Auto World) chassis. Basically, it's a cheap FRAY racer that we've been running here for a couple of years now. I'd rather use original Aurora chassis, but this keeps everything on a level playing field while holding build costs way down. Yeah, they twisted my arm! The only thing that will keep me from running the Ferrari is if the short wheel base Lola GT also prepared for this event handles better on the very twisty Brad Bowman track we'll be competing on.
Wish me luck, and... Enjoy! -- Ernie :>)
Support races will be:
* A/FX or Xtraction chassis with Sports Prototype or Can Am type bodies.
* IROC series, using whatever identical (pancake motor) cars are provided by one of our club members.
