37 of potentially 58 cars are in the house right now. I will do some arrival pictures this week as we get closer to the race. There are some beautiful cars entered. I am looking forward to receiving the remaining cars.
The pits are filling up!!

Thought I found some magic speed in my last test session. Turns out the power supply was still set on 18v from running the PSO car I have done that both ways. Had the voltage set higher or lower than the class it was going to run in and since I have a supply for each lane I have had different voltages set on each lane also..

Looks good Jeff. Does someone custom make those for you? Thanks Dave. I order them from a trophy place locally called Crown Trophy. I've gotten to where I just email them with my order and they get it done for me. Three trophies with engraving costs me $40. I like having the trophies so it's worth the money to me. Any trophy place should have small trophies like this.

Welcome back to Bear Creek Dragway!!
One racer left and I know the cars are enroute now. Might be able to get things going a day early ! We like that here at Bear Creek. Racing won't start till Friday morning, but checking the cars and qualifying can start anytime before that. The 2019 Texas Nationals was the first race I can ever remember that I was ahead of schedule pretty much throughout the event. It makes things much easier and I'm able to do more pics, videos, or commentary. I don't like having to rush things and I dedicate the whole weekend to the race! If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do the best I can. The cars that are here look great. I'm excited to say the least. We have a full house with 20+ cars in each Class. That's awesome!! Thanks and good luck to all that entered!

I just hope the mail is not as slow as my cars are. looking forward to some good racing During the last event, we had a discussions on who was the worst procrastinator. Well Al, it looks like you won that race, this time. Be forewarned, we’re not going to sit by and let you hold the title unchallenged.

Mail has remained on schedule so far. I sent mine out first class and they were in Texas in 2 days. Hope my Cars are as fast as that.

My Cars were occasionally pretty quick for the class and voltage but not consistent at all.

Yourself and Sjracer was a last minute entry. All good though......procrastination or not....all cars are on pace to arrive early. Both packages are showing out for delivery today. That makes me a happy Racemaster . We started a new schedule today at my work. Only one Engineer on duty at a time. We are alternating weeks on and off with our shift partners. As luck would have it, I am off till Monday but I'm on call. That works out well for the race. Crazy times we are living in these days! God bless everyone that has been impacted by COVID 19! Once again......let the racing give us a break from all that is going on around us! I expect to have the remaining cars here by tomorrow. Good luck to everyone!!
