four weeks until the drag race in Skippack.
come on out and give it a try.
practice is free and there are always loaner cars available.
if you have ever thought about trying drag racing and you are within reasonable distance, then, please join us for a fun filled day.
looking forward to seeing regulars and hoping some new folks make the race.

I finally got my home made timing set up working on my Auto World track. I have it set up with a 1/8 mile, I can measure only et from start to finish, but it works ok. I used reed switches and put two sets on each lane while having them in parallel. I am using the Laptimer 2000 free software from Ho Slot Car Racing (thanks again Gregory Braun).
I have a 3' shut down area with rare earth magnets under the track in the shut down area. The shut down area is shunted. Still playing with it and evaluating.
Now we can repeatedly run cars now with real time results seen as a gain or loss. And, its FUN. Jesse
I have one car running a 1.088 and a few running around 1.20. Work to be done... This is no pro dragstrip, but it works and dang its fun.

Thanks Al, sure hope to make it. Ive been planning on it for some time. Family and life have a way of changing things, but here's hopin...
I did a little more work with long wheel base cars vs. short wheel base cars and I really cant see too much change, but the long wheel base cars are slightly quicker. Body for body I have not found a winner among them, so I will just run what I like the best (or have in my box of stuff).
I have been working with magnets and tuning, hoping that it pays off on the top end. My loose cars have less off the line, but they seem to come on in mid track. I have to get up to Bloom Hobby for a few runs on their 1/4 mile track to really see whats up. They dont have batteries for power, nor the traction that you guys have in Skippack.

Well, Im not ready in most of the classes, of course, but I am coming anyway. I will have some Scalextric cars for sale, along with an Aurora Tjet PURPLE Charger with black stripes, in the box. Maybe a few others.... I have to look through the boxes. Just a heads up if anyone is interested. Jess
