Slotcar Legends March meeting

[wixwacing]

G'day boys
The March round of Slotcar Legends will soon be on us. When?

Saturday 21st March

Where

Jordan and Therese's, Boondall

Time

Arrive 2.00 pm onwards for a 4.00 pm start



Class 1. Track owners choice - Historic Can Am 1966 - 1974 open motor

Class 2. DTM restricted motor 18,000 rpm

Class 3. Historic GP

The Can Am class has been split into two races. a. 1/32 scale and b. others. Loosely this means that Vanquish models will race separately from true 1/32 scale models, in their own race, and 1/32 scale will have their own race. The reason being that the Vanquish models are too dominant and are not 1/32 true scale. Drivers will NOT be able to race both races. There will be the same amount of heats but there will be a short change over period between scales.

For the benefit of those that aren't sure if they have a qualifying car, I have researched the class and the following cars are bona fide entrants.

I have chosen DTM again since Al's, as I think it will be a good sedan class for this track without dragging Rally back again.

Lastly, I would like to remind some that metal wheels are not allowed in Legends racing unless the class specifies it either directly or indirectly (ie. particular make).

If anyone has any queeries, please post a reply or email me at:

So if I buy a slot,it the fact that it has metal rims wont dis-qualify it?

I was hoping the Sloter cars I bought a couple of months ago (Ferrari 312PB, Lola T290) would qualify but they arent on that list.

Not a problem Bill,

Just buy a GT40 and you will fit into most classes we run

Phil, There is not a Cooper Monaco in your list.... does this fit in as a Cooper Ford

Hi Bill

You can race you Slot.it in any Slot.it race or any race designated as an 'open' race ie Classic Le Mans. Usually a 'track owners choice'.
For Q32 races you would need to speak to Glen.

And Yes, I see nothing wrong with running the Lola or the 312P(B) in the up coming Can-Am event. The class was specifically meant to allow the Vanquish models a bit of a competetive stoush for those that have them. You will fall into the 1/32 category with these.

Hi Kev,

You're correct in your assumption. The Cooper Monaco, as it was ly called, had, if I'm not mistaken, either a Coventry Climax or some other engine in it and Mr Shelby decided to shoe horn a particularly large V8 into its loins! Externally the cars were similar in the early models. So go for it!
