First, what a great time looking on the race post like clock work to see the great passes everyone was making. To see everyone haulen the mail, race photo's and track performance information was top notch. Dave you have set the bar, You should be proud. Dragon Mike. I love reading your posts. You got a fever, the only cure is more cow bell. Gnome and Hairy, you tore Super Stock Up! I wouldn't get to comfortable though, you can hear everybody coming. Great job everyone. Lots of cars moving close to the .5. Gnome in 2.5 that Thunder Brid should have smoked me. Ole Henry got Lucky. Bill, 8 cylinders are over rated LOL! Pretty Sweet Dude! Well back to work on race cars.

Yes Pete the performance of the cars has shown improvement over the recent races. I was impressed with what the racers are doing with the cars.
All the packages are in the Postal system and I am happy to say that the GOOD local Postman picked all of them up.

I did not have time to write to much at this race but I have to say all the finals were amazing. It seems the cars have a mind of their own and put out the best effort in the finals. Almost every one ran their best in the final and they were mostly all in the .00-- win margin category. Truly some great racing. Thanks once again to one and all who participated and to those who were racer sponsors.

Good Day Reached out to 2 Contact's. Plus Cheryl from Wizard Today about making 15 tooth crown For T-JET'S She said a small order is 1000 Pieces. If my π Mats Call and push a little well get it done, And Then Will Have A New Class CALLED UNLIMITED T-J FIRE BREATHING π DRAGON'S. We togeather will make history around the π World (THUNDER JETS) That Ones did 2-5mph in the 20th century 1960's π€ who will get there frist-? Maybe Al Pink has a "Head-Start" Today i confirmed a 25 year old record set at 90 mph. I do Question that record. π€ I thinks Big Al Pink's Record is 74mph Is Accurate. The 90mph Never was Documented But Witnessed at a event By Joe Corea Owner of Nostalgia Hobby. Alan Glenco A Early,Wizard Pancake armature builder, Who Borrowed Joe's Armature winding machine and never returned it. Whether Alen was liked or not, Should be remembered for encouraging us to always carry on ourπMadness. Whether the 90 mph is achievable or not. In Fun and Friendship I challenge My π Dragon Mates Worldwide to Race me there, I've been π₯ Burnin for this "NEED FOR SPEED" For a long time. Back to the other 2 contacts about the 15 Tooth Crown β Gear, One company said very acheavable, Who with I also corresponded With in Spring early Summer about a Aluminum top plate, For our 4Gear π's it on its way π₯³ Please reply with interest or no interest.

No way we could justify 1000 pieces. Wizzard, BSRT etc. don't seem to care much about drag racing. We would have to go with low number custom made pieces.

For those who would use them we would have to buy about 100-200 of them each.

OK, I need to clear the air a little bit here. I never claimed to have gone 74 MPH with a t-jet. never, no how, ever.
Jim Sgrignioli has been well over 70 MPH with outlaw t-jets and I owned (still do) his version of outlaw t-jets. furthermore, Allen Galinko never beat Sgrig head to head in outlaw t-jet. now, while Allen was at it before Sgrig was, Jim brought many inovations, like the wet comm set up, to outlaw t-jets.
finally I am not very interested in MPH or drama. usually Elapsed Time wins the race in combination with a good Reaction Time. MPH is a good indicator of certain performance parameters and is generally the tie breaker in a pass where two cars have identical Elapsed Times.

Dave I made contact with company that I asked to develop Aluminum top plate For the 4Gear, He is positive about doing the broze 15 tooth T-Jet AFX Crown gears for us, I just did not want to get Hopes up and then us Dragon π Masters be disappointed like other companies have promised. But since in late spring about the 4Gear plate he has come throw for me and soon it will be available for us all, Kinda was to be quit intill they were ready to present. Did not want his phone ringing of the hook, I'll ask tomorrow if he minds to share his email address.

MPH is a good indicator of certain performance parameters and is generally the tie breaker in a pass where two cars have identical Elapsed Times. Al I'm going back to the later years like 1967, Us kids doing Roundy Round racing π only knew MPH With a wind up stop watch, and 25 to 30 years ago many of us only knew MPH, So Ya some Drama and Embellish Happen's as story are told over and over,but most importantly is to enjoy keeping them a little alive. They have encouraged myself as a Big kid myself that missed out on being a kid. Beleave me when I OutLaw Raced on the Street, i did not have any idea Of what π€ Mmmm ET Was. Nitro Slot all you Fellow have Encouraging my Hopes and Dearms For (MY NEED FOR SPEED) For me that is "SPEED" DAVE Know so well "Right" Dave how many Times did you try to make me understand "ET" - ? It finally clicked in my mind π€ Then i said to myself forget this MPH stuff, I'm going to learn there "ET" And build my πDragons for getting the """""ET""""" For me Respecting one's outlook about the Enjoyment of our Friendship in Racing π togeather is #1 important. These old time story's To a OlD KID like myself have been Great and even if it is My Pipe Dream to blow up my TUNDER-JET π's On the Drag Strip, I hope my Dragon Mate's will Have some Fun with me.

DragπMates About the New Aluminum 4Gear plate that,is close for production this started to take place early this year when I proposed this idea, Sending photos and ideas, And the big concern was all brass gear drive train, And the hope of improving the 4Gear, I have a prototype with all brass gears,but only a plastic top plate, But after proposing,a Aluminum concept, put mine on a back burner. In our conversation I explained in detail the importance of a Bronze Crown gear to go with, 3gear and 4gear. We can have high hope to see this come to pass next year. Finistauri
