That Javelin may have some voodoo in it. I did nothing to the chassie from the previous race with the Daytona body. Right before I mailed it off, the body looked like it was sitting funny so last second changed it to that Javelin. I told the Javelin don't get used to that chassie your coming off after the race. I think its trying to earn that chassie ha ha ha. It probably couldn't beat Rick so it tossed a rock on the road. Was your bazooka guy hiding in the bushes along side the track?😎

Always hated how Tyco hogged out those front fenders for the slotless chassis. Filling them with a set of headers is a great idea!

yeah, what Dave said. Congrats those advancing. I see I need to find some more speed! LOL at least they got faster from qualifying times. Same here. Wonder where we can find it? Seems like somebody is laying down some oil. Lots of tire spin in the last round.

Tuning in late. Man that's some great racing and coverage!
Super videos. It's going to be hard to narrow it down to 3.

Another batch of good looking cars off the ship from England!
If the cars in this event run as good as they look, we’re in for one heck of a show!

The pure stock class at my Spring nationals will have neutral timing. All other inline classes will allow the timing to be adjusted on cars that have that feature. So the Super G+ is legal with neutral timing?

The slot is wider on the Carrera track. This causes the cars to side off the rails. Like Dave said the pick up shoes don't work well with the rails. Our friends in England use Micro Scalextic track with similar rails, which make it necessary for all cars to use braids.

AA5F1F8C-2783-474C-9026-007E723D7E46 by Bill Le, on Flickr SC cars are rolling out. Hope they get there as fast as packages going back and forth to CA. Those have been doing better than items to and from the east and southeast. Curly’s Gasser and 57 are for the Gasser class. 52 Chevy truck is 4 gear. Crusher can do double duty since the 2nd 4 gear entry was fast enough to make the trip. Will leave that up to Race Master. Steeler- PSO Crusher- 4GO The cars are equipped with backup alarms because their times were constantly backing up during test and tune.
