I think I got all of the Florida guys off of the entry list and added Kdog to it. I'll fill the slots that are open with new entries as we get them.

Thanks for posting the info about date and venue changes. Having had the honor of racing previously at WDWAHO, I can attest that it's a first-race facility. My rookie questions: 1. Phil, what's the length of your track, approximate rail height, and the voltage that will be used for the S/S race? 2. Can I send more than one car to the test 'n' tune to help me decide on which car to enter for the Big Go? 3. Will the proxy drivers do any pre-race prep (oil, warm-up, clean tires, etc.) before the run, or is it "Put the car on the track and put the hammer down?" Thanks in advance, Rick V. Hey Rick, Here is a little info on Phil's track. I'll get his track in the venue tracks section as well. Any warm up instructions you have whether it be cleaning tires, oil, warm up the motor for however long should be should be wrote down and sent along with your car to the race. I hear they throw down on food at the races and I'm sure these guys will stop feeding themselves long enough to give each car the special attention that it's owner desires. Hey Phil, do you have a rail height for us? WDWAHO Raceway resembles an old country drag strip.
Timed length is 8'-9" which equates to a 1/75th scale
1/8th mile drag strip. Actually it's a 16' long, two lane
oval track with a couple curves added into the drag
strip return road. Timing is by TrakMate for both the
drag strip and the oval track. Track power is by two
Gilanko 0-20 volt power supplies. One for each lane
and both set at 18 volts. |

Thanks for putting it up Sam. We had agreed to lower the voltage to 13 volts like at Tim's track last year so no modifications needed to those that raced last year. It also helps show the differences in tune up that way. At 13 volts friction issues in the car show up more than at 18 volts. I can't remember the rail height and will get it measured and posted shortly. The track will be swept before each race day. (No VHT or other juice will be used or allowed.)

Here is some more info on Phil's track. The rail is .013" high and the width of the rail is .060" Also the surface is Formica type laminate (Wilsonart brand). This track is custom built by Full Tilt Speedways

Thank you for the info on pre-race prep and track voltage. Much appreciated. Now it's time for me to get to work . . .
Cheers,
Rick V.

Are these two seperate entries....? (are wood and sundance two different racers??
If so they will both be entered....if that's a wish for two cars...we'll add one and asterisk the other. (This gives the meet director flexibility to fill filelds and or cover no shows)
let us know and you are in!!
