New series about to begin at Hells Gate

[btaylor]

Just ordered up this set of warriors for the new series. I am building Sprint cars right now, but will start on the Super Modifieds this weekend. Big motors, Short gears and good tires, should heat up the track at Hells Gate!

Well, you got me on this one. I’m in with you. Now we know I won’t have them finished as fast as you, but I’m in dang it. :lol:

I will need those tires we talked about too.

Now that would be fun! I know you have a ton of stuff on your plate, but cant wait to see your build on these, and maybe even rub some paint at the Gate!
I have never built one of these into a slot car, but I am looking forward to it big time. The tire mold came out pretty good for these, so we will have plenty of specialty tires for them.

Dickie Pearson built some of these Lindberg kits into slot cars a couple years ago for club/home racing here in NH.

Those are some great looking builds Rob! How do they run? I like how you incorporated the kit chassis with the brass. Nice work!

I just bought a bunch of those kits after seeing an article in an old Model Car & Track Magazine man I need an Oval!

[waaytoomuchintothis]

Its kinda strange, actually. The tires I used were very grippy, and it was a problem taking a turn at speed on the oval. I started to rough them in, planning to work up to a 1000 grit wet-or-dry, and after they had just become rough, I tried them for the heck of it. There was just enough slip on the slightly fuzzy tires to fishtail the corners nicely, just like the real thing. They are some of the best oval cars I have.

Like so many urethanes, they clean the silicone "rubbering in" right off the track like an invasive species leaving no trace of the former silicone inhabitants.
