Please note: Colpar has put in an order for some of these Sideways cars and Tom hopes they'll be in before this class starts. With Colpar being a RMSCC sponsor, I hope our members will consider purchasing their Group 5 car (and tires) from the shop using their RMSCC discount!

Oh I hope he ordered a couple of the skylines because I plan to pick one of those up, been waiting since the last time we raced these

Unfortunately, I can't get the Skylines. My distributor had the Mustang, Capri, Porsche 935 and Lancia Beta Monte Carlo. They stopped getting the newer models because they always showed up broken.

I believe Sideways issued only painted group 5 slotcars with full graphics.

I stand corrected (and not for the first time, either).

Great looking car and runs well.......

[Tom Dolan]

There are still 4 Sideways cars at Colpar. Please, if you need one, purchase them there--you get your discounts there. I can't keep ordering cars that members seem to want then get them from other places (unless it's a car I can't get).

I broke out my Sideways Lancia Stratos G5 to get it ready for the up coming races. Apparently last time we ran Group 5, we did not tech the cars since mine did not pass the 1/16 rule when I put it on my tech block. Not even close. I adjusted the front axle so the front passes but I will need to change the rear Super Tires because they are not going to pass tech with those tires. So if you have a Group 5 from previous races tech them ahead of time to make sure they are ready.....Also the body on mine is lower than the chassis so it needs to be teched with the body on unless I am allowed to sand the bottom of the body down..
