Looking forward to your entries nosub. This is Clive's first entry into HO drag racing, hopefully the first of many. He found us at Slot car illustrated.

Dave I am currently working on (2) Inline Stock, (2) Inline Comp, and (1) Inline Super Comp cars to send. Not sure what others are sending but that's all I have anyway. My Comp cars are G3's. Are they allowed. Rules could be read either way. Planning on mailing Friday. Thanks for running this late season race. Great way to end the year.

The G3 would fit in the inline super comp class. Trying to keep the G3s, Viper etc. separate from the stock chassis cars. If there are not enough I will most likely add those classes together.

My G3 Comp cars are my MM/PS cars built to NTRA Comp specs so they have ceramic magnets. They won't run with my Super Comp that is running polys. I will keep those here and send the (2) Stock and (1) Super Comp then....or maybe just the Stockers. See how tuning goes. Thanks for the clarification.

So far you are the only entry in Comp or Super comp. Things have been really quiet here and at SCI. This will probably be my smallest race ever after the 70+ cars at the last race. Don't know exactly why but any of my G3 cars even with ceramic magnets are just superior to any of the stock type chassis. That was the reason for the separation.

I get it on the G3 cars...etc. vs stock. I switched to the BSRT G3 chassis over stock SG+ because they are superior. I also had problems with stock chassis splitting. I don't mess with any other inline chassis except the SG+ style. I will just be sending my two Inline Stock entries.

Thanks for welcoming me into the drag racing world. I know that the Mercedes is not the usual type of car for drag racing but it is a spare body and something different. This is my first attempt but it will not be my last. Hope that you get a good entry list for the event.

Glad to have you us at this race Clive. We normally do not restrict body style at our events. We RECOMMEND a certain type in most cases. I did not put any body type for this race or weight limits. Last race had 72 cars which may have set a record. Don't think there will be near that at this race.

We've had over a hundred cars show up at Blacktop Raceway before and have had 60 - 70 at Bear Creek a couple of times. It's always good to have a good turnout for sure. I certainly have been fortunate in that respect.

Just did a demo G3 vs SG+ chassis. All but one of the cars had low cost 8.00 2.5 armatures. The G3 chassis have G3 ceramic magnets while the SG+ have stock ceramic. These are my slowest G3 2.5 cars. The G3 cars did not vary much in MPH and the G3 with the higher dollar armature was not the fastest. All 3 winners were G3 cars. G3 vs SG+ 3
G3 vs SG+ 2
G3 vs SG+ 1

Anyone else sending cars for the upcoming race would need to get them in the mail by Monday or Tuesday at the latest. I will wait until the mail arrives Friday before qualifying starts.
