Mine will be 1/32 like the case was intended to cover.

Bibbster,

Perhaps some of the more 'mature members' of this forum can get together and bestow upon you the title of "Honorary Olde Phart"?

After sitting and looking at the Crystal Case sitting on top of that Jaildoor car, I might just remove those 4 straight pins and slide another body, err Crystal Case, on top of this chassis and send it along with my sidewinder up for the event. They are so close in size it would be a simple thing to do.

I felt like I was fishing on this past Friday.

My chassis was on our track and I was testing it. The testing was going very well and the chassis was doing everything that I hoped it woule. It was extremely smooth and quiet, handing was excellent and the driver had the feeling that the car was an extension of his trigger finger. If you gave it more throttle, the car would slide a proportional amount.

While I was testing it, a couple of my retro racing compadres started to ask some questions about it. Of course we're all scratchbuilders. They kind of got excited. Then when I showed them that after the proxy race is complete, I have this really cool Cooper sports car body that simply slips right into place and I have one of hte DeBary Glen Sports Cars already built. That kind of put them into a mild frenzy. I do believe I have 'mined' a couple of more entries to the "Crystal Case Cover Proxy Race" at SCC!

More to follow.

I had to toss out the design idea I had. Just too much going on to look right. It was a bulldozer. I copied pictures from the internet of Caterpillar D-9's and reduced them to a size I could put inside the clear body. I could get the sides and the front to look okay, but the rest of the body was impossible to do without hand painting the whole thing with a detail brush. I'll start dreaming up another idea for the body tonight.

Waay,

Sorry to hear that.

I got my inspiration not from listening to Jimi, but from watching TV. "Kelly's Heros" was on and the character played by Donald Sutherland, "Oddball" provided it.

I'm glad that you're not dropping the ball, but are continuing towards the goal line!

Congrats!

Austin,
I have spoken to both tracks about hosting the proxy and they are stoked. I won't have pictures of the tracks until this weekend but as soon as I get them, I will send them to you. This is very exciting for Florida Slot Car Racing and we appreciate you for letting us be a part of it.

I just received confirmation that there are 3 cars coming from Quebec. I will be picking them up during my trip to Montreal on July 6th and 7th.
Yes, this is a week later than the July 1st deadline, but they will be here for the 1st race which will most likely be July 15th. :banana-rock:
