I was asked by Quickcars to pass along some info on the No. 24 midget I entered for the proxy race. The body, driver, chassis, front tires, and the plastic pieces are all Monograms. The front & rear nerfs are made with 16 gauge copper handy wire. Comes in a 25 ft roll, purchased at our local Ace Hardware. The motor is a 13D can. The rear tires are made of urethane. A gentleman that races in our group molded the tires to the rim. The tires needed some sanding, but they work well on our wood tracks. The decals are from Vintage Racing Miniatures, http://www.v-r-m.com
Someone was talking about the 13D motors. I looked in an old slot car magazine, and they had a list manufactors that made the 13D motors. Monogram - X-88, Revell - SP-40, Cox - TTX-50, K & B, Cougar 1506, Eldon, XM-30, Kemtron, 1709, Auto Hobbies, AM-801, and Aristo-Craft. I don't have a part number for Aristo-Craft. I have some of this info on my web site. More info to come. Thanks to all who are keeping the midgets and this hobby alive. Good Luck to all in the proxy race. Hopefully more races in the future.

Hi Paul. I'm getting ready to ship out my EJ's number 5. So basically my entry is an Ej's kit and decals. The only modifications made are the guide flag and replacing the rear metal spur with a plastic one. Both the guide and the gear are professor motor. Other than that it's all stock. Hosting crew have a great time running these cars.......when I get my track done I think I will sign up for as a Host just to run these beauties being built. Have Fun.

Mine is on its way.I also ask whomever is running the race, not to put lane stickers over the decals. While the car has been clear coated, it is not a guarantee that it will not pull up the markings.

You did a great job with the EJs kit Scott. Boy, all the cars look really really good!

Though it may be somewhere in the previous 13 pages, I am interested in just how the event is going to be run. When our club hosted proxy racing, we actually raced the cars using all four lanes at the same time. I have heard that some events do run-offs and others just run them one at a time and keep track of whomever goes the farthest distance.

[Quickcars]

Seriously though, I think that a video would be great and I'd sure like to see that happen if possible.
