HO Tjet racers:

Sunday, April 3, 2005:

This will be a VHORS-type race with a twist:
All cars entered will have to meet VHORS Super Stock rules (shootout rules)
All cars must have a MINI COOPER body. Can be new-style MINI or classic Mini. Your choice.
Standard enduro race format, 2 min heats.
There will be an IROC "crash & burn" warm-up race. I'll supply 4 cars matched to the lane colors… (Yep, these will be MINIs too!)
There will be a $5 entry fee to cover food, drinks, snacks…and maybe a trophy/plaque for the winner :-)
AND - because space at my track is tight, I'm limiting this to the first *12* racers!

Jack Rutherford (Fandango Racing) is sending me a few bodies to sell, so if you show up with a prepared short-wheelbase chassis with no body, you can buy one of Jack's - I think everyone knows he makes a real nice product…

Classic Mini bodies are available from MEV and are in-stock at NJ Nostalgia Hobby.

If that's too pricey for ya, I'll have a body or 2 available for loan, and I'm sure other racers will too… :-)

I also plan to have an open practice session a week or 2 before the race…

For those who have not yet visited my track, it's a Maxtrack. The slot depth is similar to classic Tjet lock & joiner track, so long pins are not reccommended.
