I'm really likin' this car I got from Eagle Racing. It's had it's challenges but I hung in there and did the best I could with it. They are pretty dang fast in my neighborhood. Hopin' to get a little more out of it yet. It is running in the .4's consistently and did a .407 this afternoon on 20 vdc. Scary fast, I'm not used to cars this fast  . It'll be headin' to Dave's Spring Nats if I don't break it in the mean time  .

Very nice!! Yellow is not easy to spray and get nice even coverage. Those are some nice times, getting closer to high .3s. Again excellent job. Oh yea I mailed the wheels you asked for snail mail couple days ago. |

That .40 is quick at 20 volts, looking forward to seeing it run at Smoky Mountain.

Thanks guy's  , appreciate the encouragement! I sprayed the yellow with a rattle can. Got impatient after numerous applications of body putty wasn't doing what I thought it should. I learn something new on every car  . Haven't been able to duplicate that .40 time but still maintaining .430's pretty consistently and still have hopes of improving. Thanks again!

My power supplies will usually drop most cars a few hundredths. Generally not much difference in speed but the cars draw the most power when leaving the
line and that is where the extra amps make a difference as long as the car hooks up.

Yeah, my cars have been running better at the other proxy tracks so am hoping to be competitive .
Nuthin' fancy but managed to get a couple bodies coated out today. A "660" Vette and an HC/AJR 57 Chevy. Both rattle canned.

They look good from where I'm sitting. Let me know what you used for glass on the Corvette. I have one ready for paint also. |

The Vette was 1 of 3 different cars, I purchased on his website less than a year ago. I received the Vette with a vacuum formed lexan windshield. I see that the Vette is no longer available on the site but it might be worthwhile to contact him for one.
