WOMP Mafia Event, Cleveland TN


 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The WOMP Mafia, supported by RGEO, ProSlot, and Caveman Bodeez, is heading back to Cleveland TN on July 22, 2023. 
 
If you missed the first one, don't miss this one. The GTP-D2 and Late model bodies will again be used. 8/29 gearing and protrack tires in both classes round out the general details. These cars are a blast to run and very driver friendly. Even I had competitive lap times after just 45 minutes of practice on an unfamiliar flat track. 
 
A $60 store credit for best appearing is also up for grabs. Podium plaques, awards, and other prizes will be given away in typical Mafia fashion. Don't forget the personal "WOMP Mafia Godfather" T-shirt for the event winner. These shirts can only be won, not purchased. 
 
There will also be two high-end custom bodies painted by the Caveman himself up for raffle. $5 per ticket or 5 tickets for $20. I believe tickets will also be sold before the event. I'm not sure if raffle tickets can be purchased out of state. Check with the folks at The Raceway Cleveland for more information. 
 
Detailed rules are up on the website. Down load your tech sheets ahead of time and spend more time racing on the event day. Both the event rules and tech sheets can be found here.
 
 
Click on the rules link above the appropriate flyer. 
 
If you would like to run a WOMP Mafia event, contact us at cavemanbodeez@gmail.com or call 903-574-8806 for more details. Have a racing organization work for you.

Wicked Model Cars announces collaboration with Scaleauto


 

 

 

 

 

 

Wicked Model Cars, led by ISRA World Champion Nick de Wachter, have announced a collaboration with Scaleauto to develop a series of 1/32 Hypercar slot cars.

Planned versions will be the 2024 Porsche 963, Peugeot 9X8, and BMW M Hybrid. 

Wicked brings years of experience in the design of bodies and chassis for 1/24 scale racing to the project. Scaleauto guarantees excellent design and magnificent performance with their RT4 series chassis and mechanicals.

The bodies will be based on the design of their 1/24th static kits but will be molded to 1/32 scale to fit the Scaleauto chassis.

 More details will be revealed here when they are known.
