Well the mail lady didn't drop off any new cars so I ran the ones that I had. I ran each car a few times and this is the best pass that each car made.

I want to explain why I didn't post speeds for the cars. I don't trust the speed that is shown by the program. I have the basic trackmate program and it calculates the speed. It uses the length of the car and the time that the finish eye is blocked. Cars with clear or open back windows and light colored cars sometimes give a false reading. I have had 2 cars run nearly identical times and run down the track side by side and see a 1 mph difference. I totally trust the ET. I don't trust the speed. Sorry if that causes an inconvenience for anyone.

Did you disqualify yourself? I didn't see a time for you and I thought you posted a time close to if not better than the winning one?

Hmmm..anybody know where I can find a good Crew Chief and some good mechanics?  LOL! Think I need a better engine building team! ;D  Altho I guess 'middle of the pack' isn't necessarily all that bad. But then, that IS only 9 cars out of ..what..30 or so?   And, altho I personally wouldn't have a problem with you guys racing as well, I really do like the fact that you are not allowing yourself to compete. I'm sure a LOT of guys would cry 'foul' if you or your racers had the best cars, ya know?  (been there, done that..in the past with model car contests, lost a few to the judges when they entered their own. Just doesn't 'look' right ya know?  ) Ron (Bondo)  Lonestar Racing and Resins |

I didn't get the cars boxed up to mail out today. I'll try to get that done tomorrow so I can get them in the mail on Tuesday. I'll also go over my notes and send PM's with all of your time runs, to the members that sent cars.

Has everybody got their cars back? Bondo's cars have disappeared. We have a delivery confirmation for them but nobody knows where they are. I checked all of the delivery confirmations and all 6 packages were delivered on July 1. If you didn't get your cars back please let me know. They were sent priority mail.
