NF/C Summer Showdown AFX 4 Gear

TR's is probly one of THE best tracks in the country. VERY nice people there, Rick and Paula are cool. They been around a VERY long time too, which is probly one of the reasons it's so nice there. I was only at TR's once, WAYYYY back in the early 90's. Wasn't even the same building then. He's got a MUCH nicer place now. If you do decide to travel a little, take a trip to Bullitt in Louisville, Kentucky. Meatball is real cool, along with his brother Weasel, and a LOT of the guys that race there on a regular basis are cool too. VERY fast strip there, as well as TR's. Actually a lot of the same guys race at both tracks. I used to live in central Illinois, so I raced at a lot of the tracks up that way back then. Bullitt wasn't there then, tho we did have Harmon's, in Indiana (Amish Country, Geneva). To this day, that was the ONLY scale strip with an actual set of bleachers for the crowd to sit on! Yea, ACTUAL bleachers! I made as much cash sittin in those stands making 'sidebets' as I actually did racing! LOL!! ;D

Sounds like you got a good setup with the chassis kits, those are good ones. Altho the 'cheap' inline kits from WRP (front and rear pieces) are good too, if you build 'em right. The setup you got is nice, and once it's dialed in, you'll be happy. Just the WRP kits are a lot cheaper in building costs. So if you get up to where you got like 30 or 40 cars built, LOL, and just want a 'bracket basher' to run, the cost will probly play an important issue (and, trust me, you WILL end up with more cars than you ever thought you would...lol..I used to race 25 cars on a 'regular' basis..LOL, and I had 2- 25 car boxes I actually took to the track!)
The PSC jigs look good, but the only prob I ever saw with them is that they are limited and can usually only build one type of chassis (don't have one tho, since I don't actually race here, and the cost doesn't justify me gettin one). He does have a fairly affordable 'universal' one tho. I have been using a 'generic universal' jig I got from a funny car racer way back in the late '80's, and it still works well, altho I am in the process of building one made from Corian, I just need to be sure to get the holes drilled exact.
Like I said..the closest track to me is 5 hours away, and there's NO way I can get there and back on a Sunday when they race, and still take care of the wife's medical issues (she has a LOT since a year ago) Sux, cause as you can see, I STILL LOVE 1/24 stuff! ;D
