Me and my son had a match race last night with 2 black 67 Camaros. He had one with a T jet chassis that he ran in the Outlaw race in January. It ran very strong hitting speeds of 30 mph.
I just purchased a black 67 that arrived today with a stock Jet chassis. It ran like a stock Jet hitting 4-5 mph. A challenge was issued. I had a full size car that looked just like that in the past, of course I drag raced that too.
Of course I accepted. I used a junk Aurora AFX chassis and top plate I had. Used a similar armature and magnets to his setup.
We raced before and after with his car running in the low .5s on my track with the Jet running 2.2 seconds, I lost by about 100 or so car lengths in the first one.
After a lot of modification we had another race. I had the race until about the 1/8th mile point when he flew by and beat my by about 5 lengths. That's one for the Jets.
Good race and he has bragging rights FOR NOW.

Our next match race was a different story. His speed dropped to 24mph and the ET went down to .5782. Worse yet a bad electrical burnt odor was coming from the armature. We tried a few more passes and his car was going slower and slower. Slowed all the way down to 18mph and we stopped there.
