The next class should be a parts breaker. Lets see what happens. Great Job Jeff, I know how tiring it can be with many passes down the track and having to post them all. Congratulations to the winners. As Dave said this should be fun.  I hope they all stay in one piece for the runs. I will never learn with my cars, if it ain’t broke don’t try and fix it  . Plus Jeff’s track has so much more traction than mine has. |

As the saying goes.....
4 Gear Unlimited’s equals Hours and Hours of Tedious Monotony Punctuated by .400 Seconds of “SHEER TERROR” 😁
Good Luck everyone !!! Jeff hope the Safety Safari Guys got plenty of rest last night ?

4g Unlimited Round 1
Race 1 Swiftkart vs Eagle Racing Swiftkart's Nova is no joke but that is no surprise after yesterday. Smoked a controller when I attempted to warm it up....lol. First race hasn't even run and the garage smells of burning electrical. The cars stage and the lights drop. Both make smooth passes but the Nova blazes to a .4510ET for the win. Eagle is on the trailer in the first Round with a .6140ET.
Race 2 Bluesguy vs Hairy Canary Our first carnage....besides track equipment. The cars leave together and are about even when Hairy Canary's Capri shoots sparks everywhere and stops dead in it's tracks. Bluesguy motors on for the win. .7636ET to DNF. Now the garage really smell like burning electrical. That was pretty spectacular and I got it in slow motion  .
Race 3 Comet vs Alpink Sjracer's Topolino leaves on Al's Nova but the Chevy eats on the big end and drives past the Altered to move on .5562ET to .6572ET.

Just got a call from my crew chief of the Capri😬 He said it burnt the arm so bad that it burnt the 2 spares in the trailer😂 he said one good thing that the on board fire system worked😁 and the driver wanted to thank the safety crew for a fast and outstanding job😃

I only ran one test at 26v on my track as both cars have plastic gears. The FC ran 31 mph and the dragster 37. The FC was quicker however as the dragster has low traction tires on it to save the gears. Lets see what happens on Jeff's track....  |

4g Unlimited Round 2
Race 4 Comet vs JJWallace JJ's FED lays it down and blisters the track while Comet's Ambush Impala makes a smooth run. Comet is done for the day and the FED goes to the Quarters .4211ET to .8218ET.
Race 5 Chriskingsley vs Skillet Chris's Superbird has a really good 60' then tops out shortly after that letting the Grand Am by for the win. Both cars were wound out by half track. Skillet .5901ET to .6730ET.
Race 6 Bluesguy vs Alpink Both cars have solid performance. Al's Nova is the stronger car today and sends the Mustang back to the pits .5491ET to .6674ET.
Race 7 Dave632 vs Gnome The cars are staged and the lights drop. Gnome's Chevy make a horrible screech on the launch and goes to about the 330' before it stops. Dave632 never saw any of it because it was all behind him. The Blue Max moves on .4373ET to DNF. |

Race 8 Comet vs Dave632 Dave's Wedge dragster takes this one easily but might already have gear issues. It made some funny noises and the ET seems to be down. Comet's Impala is down on power today and is on the trailer .5180ET to .9023ET .
Race 9 Finistauri vs Swiftkart Finistauri's Hot Rod blows the gears at the hit and coasts to 330'. Swiftkart's Nova clocks another blistering run to win .4389ET to DNF.
Race 10 JJWallace vs Bluesguy JJ's orange FED blasts down the concrete and Bluesguy is done in Round 2. .4644ET to .7310ET.
Race 11 Swiftkart vs Alpink Two beautiful cars pulling into the water boxes. They do their business and stage...lights drop....and the Camaro is gone! Alpink's Nova makes a fast pass but Swiftkart makes a really fast pass .4429ET to .5537ET.

4g Unlimited Quarter Finals
Race 12 Swiftkart vs JJWallace This was the fastest Pancake side by side at Bear Creek. Both cars leave even but JJ's blue/white FED wins this one going away with a track record ET. Swiftkart's Nova has been trailered .4188ET to .4423ET.
Race 13 Skillet vs Alpink This a holeshot win for Skillet as Al had something go wrong at the hit. Something slipping...tire shake...not sure exactly but the car hit the rev limiter and then took off. Skillet is in the Semis. Slower .6036ET beats faster .5970ET.
Race 14 JJWallace vs Dave632 Another super fast pancake side by side. Dave's Blue Max is rollin today and gets this one done! JJ has been promoted to spectator .4381ET to .4660ET.
Race 15 Swiftkart vs Dave632 The cars stage and the lights drop. Something is definitely wrong with the Wedge as it falls off in ET some more. The Camaro wicks it up a notch with a better ET and blazing MPH. .4235ET/43.99MPH to .5336ET.
