Ok Racers sorry for the lack of imformation this week My computer has been down for about 10 days. I am back now so here is the T & T rundown.....
Carl of PMS DRAG O WAY... Has recieved 7 cars so far, we will start the Test & Tune after 12pm Centrial on Saturday to allow the Mail one more day.
I plan on taking some photos of the cars & Carls sweet looking track to post with the resualts.
We will follow your warm up instructions test the cars, and if nessary make simple adjustments, to improve you time on this track. If more work is needed I will PM you with (hopefully) some ideas we think may help.
I'll post the resualts in the late afternoon on Saturday.
A BIG thanks to all who sent in cars, & hope to see you all next month for the March madness race.

Good job to everyone who's cars showed up. I sent mine out on Tuesday via UPS. Must have gotten lost or they should have been there by now. I know it's not your fault but yet another big downer for my showing as of yet with these last 2 events.

Carl's Drag Strip very cool. The SS race should be a lot of fun. I really
like the guard rail with all the bends in it. It reminds me how Orlando
Speed World Dragway old guard rail looked from cars hitting it. They
now have a cement wall. Oh yeah it gets hit too but it don't bend.

Can somebody let me know that you definately got them and will you send them back to me. Thanks. Hey eddiebee, USPS delivered my 3-4 day priority mail package yesterday after 8 days. Since we missed T&T, we can race to see whose package makes it home first. |

Sounds good to me , but at this pace until we get them back we can just ship them right back out for the race and hope for the best!!!

Sorry to ninjatec and eddiebee a shame your cars didn't make it to Carls for Saturdays T & T. I'll drop carl a note this morning to see if he can give them some test runs, with a report. Carl sometimes gets called out of town for work, but if he is home I'm sure he will help.

Carl contacted me today and all T&T cars were shipped back today sorry for the delay, he had a serious illness in the family last week.
For those late arriving cars I don't think he did any testing. On that subject.....
Try to get your cars in the mail at least a week before the race, I know I am as guilty as anyone in mailing them at the last moment! But it really does help out the Race Host in that he has time to get the cars checked in and make sure they are marked correctly.
Make sure you mark your cars entry number on the chassis so it can be read, or your car will run with an ugly sticker on the window or roof.
Make sure you include an easy to read return address in your box this also makes life easier for the host. A bunch of you know this already but just giving a heads up to possable new racers.
THANKS
DOG
