Hot off the track:

01:01:08 

Well here we are at the start of another slot racing season for NSCRC.

New for this year is the deletion of 1/24 open group 12 with standard body and the introduction of 1/24 production with retro bodies. 

Those eligible are all body styles (open or closed) up to and including 1975. They must be cut on the manufacturers cut line and painted in appropriate retro colour schemes. This means no flame type paint schemes etc. An exact colour scheme is not a requirement but the scheme must be in keeping with the period of the body.

Just posted are the final standings for 2007 and congratulations must go to the following class winners:

Mark Wattam: 1/24 Open Group 12 Ultimate Body.
