All going well over here - Russell and Cody have run I15's, Russel ran box 12 and seemed to do well. I think came 5th (wasnt there) Arrived to the track at the end of the I15 Final - Both were in the final. Russel and myself ran 27 lights - qualified with a 2.01 which had me in 24th spot, TQ was a 1...

I started racing in 69 in that state series - prior to that occasional races in 68 - I only ever saw angle winders with can drive mura motors. 26D's had become history. From looking at the U.S scene angle winders hit there in 67 - I expect by 69 no one would have still been racing inline cars anywhe...

In terms of what we used to run and I go back to the late 60's - apart from the recent retro stuff I have never raced an inline motored car.

I would love to go back to angle winders in retro specs. Brass, wire an maybe mandate sidepans - else people like me will build perimeter based chassis's.

Rocky - that was a long time ago.

Chassis 414Z standard length - brass weights on front of chassis

tyres B52 - Alpha mediums red

I hid this at the end of the bring back the glue strand and think it probably needs to be a separate theme. 27 's I would like to consider is moving from 27's to 27 lite. Mainly because in my view full 27's is harder to get new people into and I dont think we can afford 2 * 27 classes. How long shou...

It seems we are not the only place endorsing spray glue. Brazil does more spray than glue. U.S California run mainly in spray Mid East (the track is now spray) NY are looking at Skidmarks have commented with positive statements on spray (Spove) Kofords track - is spray only Texas is still glue. The ...

vertical - Proslot golddust. Still has a lot of brush left - could probably run the same race again.

For those who may be interested. Car for Nats Chassis Koford 414L - Standard length, 1 small bit of lead on the nose Body Alpha Nissan - 143 long, 30 High, 5 thou + sticker rear wing, 2 pieces of 5 thou to stiffen front wings, one L piece inside , 1 by 1 inch square on outside Gearing 8 - 38 - Gears...

Thanks, James for hosting the nats and to Wayne for running the races. Its a big effort for Wayne because I am sure there are other things he would like to do, such as race or help Cody. James as usual has the place in tip top condition, monitors all over the place to see how things are going - it w...

I remember racing at GD's first track in Phillip St, then in Mick Simmons building on another track before they got the old Villawood track. I actually think the track before would have been a good retro track.

Dont forget they used to hold the Brabham trophy race on the Hill Climb with F1 cars.

It seems Monty passed away recently. He was a U.S racer, one time track owner, and manufacture of BOW (Best of the West) products.

Never met him to talk to but did see him at some races in the U.S

Guys, I was asked to do this by a number of tracks - rather than just randomly post it. To be honest we have not had a nats meeting for a number of years, the rotation has been on a state by state basis, it is now moving to a track by track basis. It is only projected out 2 years because that is as ...

During the last few months there have been some discussions with the track owners to make some minor changes with the Nats rotation system. Rather than go with the traditional state based rotation it is being changed to a track based rotation. The objective of what we are trying to achieve is to hel...

I do a lot of my own tires, all the way up to Grp 7. As everyone else has said, contact cement. Usual stuff leave until touch dry. The trick is to get the tire on the rim with glue. I dunk the tire in all purpose thinners (automotive) for about 10 seconds and then the tire slides on the rim. Do not ...

Thanks, Geof for puting on a good race. Thans for the stand in marshalls and race director.

The track was in great condition as can be seen by lap totals with new records in most class's.

Waynes 140 on Onrange was something special.
