Its been a busy day. Didn't get a chance to check in until late. The action was worth waiting for! Its amazing that my Street Jet cars were first and last qualifiers. They were pretty close in practice. Good thing the SC shop added a second car, since the Judge which was the primary entry didn't fare too well.
Thanks for all of the congratulations. They mean a lot coming from such a great bunch of racers.
Top notch event Gnome. Thanks for hosting.
Looking forward to the Gassers!

Looking good and competitive! My Challenger seemed to run faster than that on my track, although I don't have a timing system. Not that I'm doubting what you posted for times, just interesting is all lol. I was able to get a 6 out of it during test and tune, but that was a fluke run skipping most of the way .would not leave the line with clean tires so had to run it with dirty tires. It could use a wheelie bar, more magnatraction something. I'm pounding 20 amps to it on a switche ,it couldn't take the hit if you want I'll put a wheelie bar on it today and try to get you on the leader board . |

That's up to you, I know you've gotta have a pretty full plate already. That makes sense that with a switch it would be a hard initial hit of power. I'm running about the same amps but, through the controller probably lessens the burst off the line. |

If any one would like to try and improve or back up a time for the leader board speak up thank you gnome It would be great if the Judge could have another go at it. Maybe should put larger tires on it. Believe it of not, these are a step up from what was on it. Could be that clean tires got too much traction. Couldn't clean them very well at home. Usually roll the rears on 2 sided tape but this car is wound too tight for that. |
