Please don´t worry about this rules, stock SCX or Kyosho cars can do it easily. Only the fastest 20 cars from the qualifying will run the race. qualifying times will be posted with the race times.

concours de elegance: the best looking car will be voted by the host and get a special price.

wide open rules again, ladies and gentleman, so build your fastest, smoothest 1/43rd car for this race. just tune your stock SCX car a little and maybe blow the doors off all others, built something that was not seen before, it´s up to you.
Who will have the fastest car?

Starting my build now, or maybe I should send my truck back to the Desmo!!!

Regards, Lloyd.

[Cjent]

Hope to get a car there for this race!

[BARC 1]

The BARC entries are already there, but I may send a couple of more to swap out. The plan is to have Peter send all my entries to Lloyd for the Gaydon show.

Looking forward to this one as always.

[LloydL]

Thanks Dan, we usually commit to the show around now, I will let you know when it is definite.

Regards, Lloyd.

I got two cars ready and an idea about third one, looking forward for this race again.

[BARC 1]

Looking forward to this race. This year I sent three different setups in an effort to solve the DESMO.

Now the fun of watching the other cars starting to arrive for this 1/43 premier event.

Thanks Peter

Just slightly confused about the title of this thread!

Just to confirm that we have the go ahead for the 2018 UK Slot Car Festival at the British Car Museum, Gaydon, UK on May 19th and 20th 2018.

[pfuetze]

thanks for the heads up, Lloyd!

corrected the title now.

looking for Gaydon, will see what to put in the box this year. Maybe the Buggyra truck and the blue Exige or all Exiges ...

[LloydL]

We will be happy with whatever anyone is kind enough to send us Peter. I like the truck idea, and maybe some of the Nastrucks to put with them would make a fine display!

Now I am working hard on my Pronomag cars.

Regards, Lloyd.
