Any of you guys remember H.O.D.R.A?? back in 2008ish when I got out of HO cars, I remember their website and loved the idea of thier Factory Stock Tjet class. I remember them getting pretty quick MPH outta stock Aurora Tjets on rubber skinnies Id love to see that. Anyways Im new here and came here from another forum were a few other members post. Interested in getting a car down the track at some point in this proxy racing I hear so much about. Cheers

Welcome Tjetter, Don't believe everything you hear about this place. That Crazynski guy tells fibs. (Yikes. I haven't used the word "fib" in the last 30-years. Eye R old eh?) Glad you could make it! Cheers, Ken

Tjetter pleasure to meet you. I'm Sam/Skillet. Your always welcome to send something my way. I can get you time trials or grudge match you against something I have during the year to see how your doing if you would like. Doesn't necessarily have to be during a class race if it helps you out.

Cool, same as the old HODRA I remember from back then? That was pretty cool stuff. We were trying to get a little club together back then, but we couldnt get enough guys together to make it worth any kinda timing system. So 1-2-3-GO on a plastic track 1/4mi fizzled pretty quick LOL

I can get you time trials or grudge match you against something I have during the year to see how your doing if you would like. Doesn't necessarily have to be during a class race if it helps you out. Im definetly curious what a couple of my blueprinted tjets would do on the strip even if they arent class cars. I'm starting to gather parts for a 14ohm stock pancake class car, Id like to enter a class race at some time. I figure I'd start there as braids and stuff is very new to me, figure maybe I can work up to that down the line.

Main goal is to have fun clear across the board! Cool, Thats what I like about slot cars, its competition but like "Yea I wanna beat ya, but Ill also help ya tune your car and give ya pointers" kinda competition. Its a nice get away for me. I deal with enough cut throught BS playing in bands my whole life, I try to stay clear of that in my hobbies. Anyways a pure stock 16ohm tjet class, Id be stoked on that.....Gotta say Iver have been running slip on silicone skinnies on the rears...but what was it oil of wintergreen for treating rubber skinnies?
