If I have it all right here is the current list order:
1. Dave632
2. SKR
3. JJWallace
4. Nosubfor3
5. 79Malibu
6. Eagle
7. KiwiDave
8. ECBill
Thought we would have a full field of 10 cars for the list races but some did not show for up. We are up to 8 and counting.
If I missed anything let me or Sam know. The Sam and Dave battle will continue at the next race. Looking forward to it.

That's fantastic how those two cars perform consistanly against each other. So on a quarter mile the Corvette takes it?

Whew......I squeaked by on that last challenge from Nosub. I'm happy to still be at #3. My plan is to be back in the hunt at the next event and I know there's some hungry racers behind me. Now it's time to regroup. I love this stuff!  Dave great job with the event! Lots of pictures and commentary......who could ask for more! Thanks to you and crew. Thanks also to Super Tires for sponsoring. And thanks to everyone that entered as well. Without you there is no race. Way to end the season with a bang! |

Congrats on the 2.5 win Dave and thanks for hosting the event. I enjoyed checking out the race results, pictures and enjoyed competing with all of you this weekend. Thank you Super Tires for sponsoring the event, some of the nicest people around in our hobby.
I'll get the list updated tonight. It's really heating up and I look forward to seeing what everyone brings to the table at the next PSO event.

I am fighting with slo motion videos now. Hope you don't mind me running the 2.5 finalists several times. Every time they are thousandths apart.

Just wanted to show these 3 readouts, first one was set on 18V with the 2 2.5 modified finalists. One of these runs is on one of the videos, SKRs Vette won this one by .0005.  MVC-028S by Next 2 are the results at 20V the 55 Chevy won both of these by thousandths.  MVC-029S by  MVC-030S by The Vette has the MPH every time but the 55 has a tiny edge in reaction + ET. |

Now for the royal pain to get working. Slo Mo videos. We spent a couple of hours getting this to finally work and we had done it before. Some of the videos just would not work when converted. First the 2.5 Finalists.  IMG_3804 This one ECBill asked for, a slo mo of the cars leaving the line. This one is an AFX with 2 traction magnets vs Bills car with none.  IMG_3803 Made a couple of more passes with the 57 Nomad and the silver red Mustang. For some reason the Mustang slowed a little and we did not get the close races we had earlier.  asset-4  asset-3 |

This has been a ton of fun participating via long distance, the only disappointment is watching a car that performed so much better at home, to totally shat the bed. The feeling of helplessness is multiplied by the distance from TN to NJ. I will be sending more cars to the next event.
Thanks again to Dave for hosting a great race weekend, and congratulations Dave on taking over the #1 spot on the Pro-Street Outlaws list.
Mike

Nice job Dave and I enjoyed the slo mo. In comparing your track to my tracks performance, times were pretty close. My track the Blacktop Raceway is all plastic. The type of track you have is always a little bit faster. So when I tune if it sucks on my track it is not so bad on your track. However if it is fast on my track it's a rocket on your type of track. My cars sucked on my track so it was not so bad, GOOD JOB OF HOSTING DAVE!!

Thanks to everyone, glad you enjoyed the show.
I know everyone was not happy with the way their cars performed and of course it is an advantage to
actually be at the track and work on your car if it has a problem. Fortunately for me all my cars needed
no work for this race except the Farm Truck which I did nothing to correct.
I have a suggestion for the Farm Truck. If it is all right with all the racers I would like to use the
Farm Truck as the gatekeeper in the #10 spot, just like it used to be on the show. I would send it to all the races and you would have to beat it to get on the list. Every car on the list now can beat it. This is just a suggestion so let me know if it is a good idea.
It is a blast racing all these great cars. This was my biggest race ever with 54 cars entered.
Anyone who has held a race knows it is a lot of work and we do it because we enjoy it. This one took
4 full days to complete not counting the preliminary and post race work.
WE FORGOT ONE THING: NO ONE VOTED FOR BEST APPEARING CAR......
Every car had a close up taken when it arrived. They are all in the arrival and best appearing thread.
We can still have a vote even if the cars have been sent back.

Thanks again to Dave for hosting a great race weekend, and congratulations Dave on taking over the #1 spot on the Pro-Street Outlaws list. Mike Mike it's the "curse of the box"....lol. Performance can sometimes change on the trip through the mail system. Maybe there's a reason for it (rough handling) and maybe not. I always try to pack my cars so that they do not move around and are in the center of the box as well. I've had pretty good luck so far. On the upside......sometimes they come out of the box running better  . Glad to hear you will be racing with us again. |
