BEAR CREEK DRAGWAY North Texas

Hi Jeff.
Thanks for the OK to use your stuff.
Florescent light I have found works best with the Bondoman Photo Eye. I bet it would work well from the ceiling too.
If both dragsters stag on the wing, when the car body trips the sensor the lap count will go back down to one and the race will end when the end sensors trip. Try setting it at two.

If I am not mistaken I think Kiwidave has the Grandstand track. Yeah he's way cool.
OK I have the Tree ready but Thailand is in the middle of their three day water festival(Songkran) and everything is closed until I believe the 16th. I will ship then. Still 410 Harrington Lane yes?
Tracks such as yours are really making people start to take us more serious.

BTW the SD 2 should be out in a couple weeks. It's has more features but is mostly for lap racing, fastest lap, average lap, that kind of stuff. But it does have Negative Reaction Times in the event of a red-light.

OK I am going to load my water cannon and head down to the store. Everybody throws water at eachother for three days, nuts. But that's OK, it's the super hot season now. We have just three seasons, hot, super hot, and rainy and hot.
Again many thanks.
Dan

Cars are finally completed and ready to load on the haulers. Drivers headed to Colorado first thing in the morning. If the cars will hold together, should do pretty well. Looking forward to running at Drag City USA!! Good luck to everyone!!

Well after getting my cars back I tore into the MM/PS and found that I had an extra motor bushing that I did not need and the gear mesh was set too tight. Car was tight, but I had run out of time after all the F.E.D. gear work. Still not near fast enough to have won the race, but faster than it was. Blue/white F.E.D. broke the bond on the hybrid cluster gear. I use Loctite black max to bond the brass lower gear to the plastic upper. It has held up very well till now. I can see a very slight wobble in my crown gear. It may have created enough of a vibration to break the bond. Quite the learning curve going on here. Been working on a Doorslammer project for the July race. This is a Lone Star Resins "62 Thunderbird Pro Mod. I've always liked this body and have wanted to do something with for awhile. I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like and made a few modifications. Still needs some detail work before paint.

Hey Jeff, That T-Bird looks really cool.Can't wait to see when it's done.

The Tbird Doorslammer is just about ready for paint. Just got some new meat in the garage and have been splitting time with some other projects. Tbolt Doorslammer is next on the lift. Finished tuning up my (2) NF/C entries for the International race and got those out yesterday morning.




Same two cars I ran in the 2012 Finals at Lions. They have been reworked and are definitely faster than they were. We will see how they hold up.

Jeff that T-Bird is looking good!!!
Thought you might like to see my Chevy II Doorslammer,I couldn't cut the cowl induction hood.

Thanks Tom. Very nice Chevy!! That's the look I'm going for with the Tbolt. Nice decal work as well. I am still working on my decal skills....finding...saving...resizing...etc. I've been looking at Chevy II and Nova pics to compare rear deck spoilers ( not too many modified Tbolts out there ). Yours is what I was wanting, but mine is going to end up a little different. Thanks for sending the pic. I like seeing the builds!! Pretty wicked mask in the background there.
