Post by GTS on Mar 21, 2018 at 4:00pm Thanks for doing this race, Dave! Will you be sending out a separate PM to the entrants to let us know the particulars on paying the entry/return shpng fee? Hoping PayPal will be a valid option to do that. Thanks again, Gale
Here are the veteran Stock and Super Stock prizes for this race. The Billboard is a stand alone sign, nice for decorating your track. The new in box JL/AW Buick Turbo goes to the Super Stock winner. These were also donated by Nick at Super tires.

Three down, two to go. Have my rookie cars & S/C car done. Going WAY OUT of the box for the S/S cars, Grumpys Toy Revival we be in full force when my hauler arrives in TN for the Smokey Mountain Spring Nats.
Dave I am sending along some goodies as well for give aways
Here are Dave632s Spring Nats entries 2 for each class, Veteran stock, red Camaro and blue 57 Nomad both running super G+ chassis. Super stock, black pick up with a Tyco chassis blue Camaro with a DR1 chassis, 2.5/Super Comp gold/white Vette and Super Tire truck with BSRT G3 chassis:
GTS is planning on send in some break in blocks for all the racers at the Spring nats. Picture to be posted soon.
Thanks Dave! I wanted to contribute to the community and being a little short on ideas, decided to make some of these. I am sending 16 to the Smokey Nats and hopefully that will be enough for each entrant or at least the first 16. I had a lotta fun making them and hopefully they will be useful to y'all. I will start a separate thread on them with more pics in the next couple days and hopefully once you get a chance to use them, you would provide some feedback on them, pro, con, indifferent, doesn't matter, in that thread.

The orange Camaro really likes Smoky Mountain speedway. It bettered its best practice time by nearly a tenth. .675 vs .578.
On the other hand, the gold 57 Vette slowed from .634 to .6607. This car regularly beat the Camaro in practice.
The blue 60 Vette slowed a bit too, .509 vs .5259.
The white 57 Vette's best practice run was .423 vs .4444 but that's a little better than its average of .481.
I have also run into some big differences at other tracks. It is just the nature of this type racing as we have different surfaces, power supplies etc. that we race on. It keeps it interesting. Generally my track is quicker than others because of the 2 30 amp power supplies even 14 ohm stockers generally run quicker but there is no guarantee.
