Well, I got here a little late -but would love to run in and host a Pre-War Proxy.
I'll take more time on the rules discussion - but regards the drivers, I think the more fair method is each driver takes a lane and runs each of the cars in that lane - that way every car has to go thru the quick and not so quick drivers.
I've just started a 'post' mini-article on Pre-War as a slot class and it does promote the idea of 2 classes (for basically 1920's -30's up to 33 and then 34 to 39 - with smaller motors (BWA) for the smaller cars and kind-of unlimited for the beasts (as tires takes car of most of the problem...). Anyone else in the States want to host a race???

I'll be bringing it up at the Austin Slot car club next meeting. Response on their msg board has been positive.

The Rockingham club in the UK are having a meeting in January. One of the classes is for pre 1940 cars. Details including a link to the rules are on Slotforum.
Cheers

I would be glad to host a race at Son of Redhill with Nate - we would probably just use 2 lanes so as to avoid the squeeze.

Depending upon the timing, I would be more than happy to host a round.

David Mitcham has agreed to be the starting co-ordinator, first host, scrutineer, etc. We will need to get the cars to the UK for the first round in March/April next year. Then subsequent rounds will be scheduled before shipping to the USA for a couple or more rounds there. Entry fees will need to reflect the shipping program.
Any opinions on that are welcomed.

Sounds good - I'll cast my vote for April (traveling part of March)

Sounds good. I could host a round based on racing single cars on a timed basis. MDF track. Andi

That could work Andi but how do feel about running up to twenty or so cars?

In a sense, more of a time trial than a race but I, for one, would love to have comments and observations from one as experienced as Andi

I'm quite comfortable running this kind of event John. I'm not a member of a club so when I get the urge I pick 10 or 20 of my cars and run my own time trial type race. Sometimes I do quali too. I would run in reverse order such that the best qualifiers were run last when I'm most dialled in and the track in best condition. Andi
