Here is your ladder for tomorrows 4G race!  ChrisWFO #2 car - One rear wheel wobbles to the inside. Gears binding. Rear tire split under power. Next up - FOOD! Then RTR cars for ET and speed. Note: Results of the testing will be sent to you via PM. |

I'm not surprised, that is an Autoworld chassis and not a very good one. No matter what I tried the crown and pinion gears would not work smoothly.

Match races will take place tomorrow also. Slotfather will not be at the track until 11:00 am CT so it will be a late start.

Well just made a posting and must have gone to the moon. I will try this again! It was a good day at the track. Learned a lot about hosting a race and getting things ready for the qualification runs. Thanks to Robert ( Eagle Racing ) for his guidance and assistance. Speaking of Eagle Racing - the Eagle flew down the track today on a test run and turned in a .270. I ain't gonna tell you what it was in but you could hear the tires making a crying sound as it went down the track! We had a few 4G issues today: Ninjatek #9 Dodge Truck stuck in reverse and made it into the deep part of the staging area. Easy fix! chriswfo #1 Vega - front wheels were off the ground big time. It appeared like it had Super G pickup springs in it so we removed them and put softer ones in. This time it stayed in the slot all the way to the finish line.  And the above picture is chriswfo #2 Kendall car - had a bad rear wheel wobble and a blow out at mid track. Mater went down to pick up the pieces. At least we got one of his cars in the race. See ya tomorrow! |

chriswfo,
I am with you on a lot to learn. Not only hosting a race but also building some cars. But it sure is fun!

Alan, I agree, I have some 1 to 1 scale ambitions involving motorcycles and a certain salt flat in Utah and while money is tight this is a good substitute.

I'm thinking I need to start adding some weight to the front end of my cars.
