Small-Bore T/A proxy.

Well if things work out right on my track and the U-2 cars end up here I promise to take some video, Roland. :banana-rock:
Cheers Ted

Wll you offer to host a leg then? That would be so cool!
Cheers Ted

[Datto]

Roland and Ted.

This is still in planning stages. If you guys want to host events we can definitely make it a series! :banana-rock: :banana-rock: How many events the series has will determine the entry fees. We don't want to saddle the hosts with gigantic postage fees.

If this is going to be a multi-event thing, we shouldn't rush into it too quickly. Other factors come into play. Scoring, etc.

[Datto]

Postage rates went up Monday :( But yes, that might help. As far as timing, I was playing with the first event being in April Possibly on my track. Then on from there. Does that sound reasonable to the concerned parties?

[LloydL]

I better get building then!

[Datto]

If April too sudden, let me know :) No rush needed.

Very much cheaper that way! :grin:

That makes a lot of sense, Roland, thanks!

Hi all,

Just wanted to say I may be interested in this Proxy as well. I am new to 1/43rd, but not new to slot racing. I have hosted a couple Proxy races myself in a Carrera Panamericana theme with T-jets. Always love trying my hand at something different, and make new friends.

While I am on here, will there be a list of bodies available from those who cast?

Lance

[Datto]

Hi, Lance!
We should get a list of bodies cast up on the small-bore T/A resources thread.

[flyingdutchman]

Thanks Datto. Found and subscribed. Any other threads related to the proxy that I should subscribe to?

[Tsooko]

The end of April or the beginning/middle of May might be a better start date. It takes over two months to source all the parts and decals and bodies for a fresh build.
Cheers Ted

[Datto]

Ted,I was looking at what my schedule is becoming, and I think you have a good point.

[LloydL]

I agree with a mid to late May start as I have already started builds but would be hard pushed to have them ready for April!

Regards, Lloyd

I have been watching this thread to gauge interest in a Small Bore T/A proxy and note that so far there have been 9 posters, 3 outside the US, and 1 of which has stated that he will not be taking part.

Is this enough interest to make it worth the time and effort of Datto and race organizers to put the event on?

Your comments please!

Regards, Lloyd
