2nd round of PSO list races with the voltage already set at 18V.
Mazda Challenges #5 and #4 NoSub and Gnome who were no shows. Mazda moves to #4.
KStocks does likewise and moves to #5.
ECBill Challenges Dave632 for #2.
Both cars pick up some performance but Dave632 is able to hold off Bill with a .642 to a .686.

ECBill vs Dave632

Well the Rebel II did not like sitting in the box for a couple of months and came out flat. After spinning the motor some it woke up some for its battle with ECBill. Your Mustang on the other hand came out strong congrats on taking the #1 spot in PSO.

Final race of the event the 4GO callouts.
Switching back to 20 volts.
Mazda and ECBill jump to #3 & 4 due to no shows.
ECBill challenges Mazda for the #3 spot. Mazda holds on in another close one .782 -.799.

Mazda vs ECBill

JJWallace is going for a take back of the #1 spot in 4GO. Last time they switched back and forth.
This time it did not happen as the Camaro holds on to #1 with a .743 - .786.

Dave632 vs JJWallace

Since GTS sent his car all the way here and only ran ghosts we sent his car down the track for an
exhibition run vs ECBill. Bill won the race with a .830 -.877 GTSs car did move up the ladder however.

ECBill vs GTS

That's it for the racing action at this event. Thanks to all the participants, congratulations to all the winners and runner ups.
LIST STANDINGS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO 11/16/19
Only thing left is to vote for best appearing. Either vote right here or send me a PM.
Thanks, Dave

Lots of great racing action! Congratulations to all of the race winners.

Well, Ole Shemp didn't do so bad in his return to racing. Kept it in his lane. Could have done a lot better if the car wasn't under powered. He's been taking the youth serum that the boys brewed up.

Rumors have it that Shemp's little brother, Curly's been building a Gasser. Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk.

Actively enjoying my second, or is it third childhood?

Pete, quit a nice build, thank you for the break down.

Thank You Dave. I knew the car was close coming out of Texas. Smoky and Bear being Maxx Trax helped set up.
I decided on adding more pickup shoe tension. For Bear, about 4 grams of tension with front tires at left.435 right .440. Coming out with that information, I made the only change to the car. I picked the nose up and went to 6 to 8 grams on shoe tension. Took a chance on rear hook up, it worked.

On the voting. List cars are also considered for BA?
