Peter sent me an email a few weeks ago and I have just remembered to post it here for everyone's feedback. Here are his words, verbatim:
So, please leave your thoughts below so that Peter will know how to move.Gordon,
As I mentioned to you on the phone the other day, the FRC slot car drivers are some of the best I have ever had the pleasure of competing with over the years. In recognition of this fact, I would like to give the guys an opportunity to try their hand at Scalextric cars from the 60s and 70s fitted with silicone tyres and at least one magnet to make them a bit more interesting to drive on a digital track.
I am looking at preparing three or four types of cars for the guys to enjoy. When I come at Christmas I plan to bring at least 6 cars in each category, so that there will be enough cars for everyone to drive.
ü Sports cars and or Supercars from the 70s.
ü Morris Minis fitted with the Scalextric RX Motor
ü F-1 of the 60s cars fitted with Scalextric Powersledge Motors. These cars will have to race on a analog track as there is no tidy way to install a digital chip. We will have to find an analog track to race on perhaps the one at Skinner Park might be an option.
ü F-1 of the 70s cars fitted with Scalextric RX Motors. These cars will also have to race on a analog track as there is no tidy way to install a digital chip.
Please let me know what you think about this idea. If there is interest I will start work on installing F-1 chips, magnets and silicone tyres as mentioned previously.
Best regards,
Peter
Gordon
