Racing for Thursday May 19th, 2016

After a trilling few weeks at S&S Speedway culminating with the 1/24 classes racing returns to Hanover Township at Kozo Raceway Park. Along with the two race classes we will be racing there is also a few classes under development. The fairgrung stockers, or bombers, are moving along and for clarification sake, will be listed under the NASCAR heading of the rules page.

We also have the 1970's Formula 1 class being looked at. As of now, it is still open to any manufacturer. Known brands are Fly/Flyslot, Polycar and Scalextric. There are many models available, though the Fly/Flyslot March 761 seems popular with the group. As of now, tire rules are under review with the possibility of using either silicone or urethane. If you have a 1970's Formula 1 car, please bring it with you on Thursday so we can try to compare performance. Pictured is a Scalextric Tyrell and a Flyslot March 761.


 Now on to the weekly racing classes. Up first is the Daytona Prototype 18k class. Remember, either Racer Sideways or Fly brand is allowed.
Second on the program for the evening will be Scalextric GT. We run these stock, but if you had problems with out of round wheels, you can run the appropriate size CBDesigns wheels. (17x8 front, 17x11 rear) The CBDesigns rear wheels take the same tires as the stock wheels. The fronts will need aftermarket tires. This class will be run as a night race, so make sure you bring a car with headlights!

Racing Update

It's been a while since I've made an update, and I wanted to get up to speed before the summer. We have been splitting time between KRP and S&S Speedway for weekly racing. S&S Speedway has hosted two rounds of the Penn-Jersey Slot Car Club Series for SRC Lola T600 and Racer Sideways Group 5.





Kozo Raceway Park was host to the NEPA Regional Qualifier for the Scalextric Trans Am North American Championship. The Championship race will be held at GT Slots in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday May 21st, 2016. The top four finishers not already qualified or unable to attend will be elligable for the finals.
John had an uncharaceristically good race, to finish 2nd ahead of Bill W by distance on the same lap. Sam Jr. finished 4th, Tony in 5th and Sam Sr. placing 6th. Our New York guests fell to the tail of the field with Sean S., Joe W. and Dave V. landing 7th, 8th and 10th. Clem busted up the group to bring home the pink 21 in 9th.
