I think we're looking good. It's some of the track joints. It squeezes a little there on those pins. I honestly forgot or would have had this ready. I have a car with that style pin and it's the same problem. I had grinded on mine to fit. It all came back like a flash of lightning. My track is AFX/AW as well, and occasionally it has the same problem with the Jag guide pins. Have had some cars pole vault at certain point on the track. At least one Tyco and one Tomy have done so as well, with stock pins. One or both of my Gassers may have those Jag guides. You have permission to change them out or file some flats on the sides if that will help the situation. BTW, Also noticed some binding on my old style AFX set up track, at one end. |

The track is back in running order to accommodate the jag pin.
Thank you to those that have gotten in touch with me about the pins. With so many of us using them I would rather have the track good for them. I sanded out enough room for the pins to pass and not be a further problem for our races. The track was completely cleaned and is running great. We did knock out a sensor. Oops. For the rest of the racing I'm going to run drag race coordinator basic. It will show ET and win light. I don't have the patience to start looking at the wiring at this time.

Qualifying is complete. We are going over ET now to determine our top Qualifier... For your viewing pleasure we have some photos put together. Pleasure you say...well I don't agree... No pleasure if your in these pictures. I guess that's true... We had a tough day getting started. I don't think the mail can be the kindest on our willie bars. And after working out some issues.... Here are some of the worst of the day.... Early Qualifying gave this car a second chance to qualify...  That's not just the tire. We were able to save it for qualifying. The rim was super glued back to place as even as possible. The center of the rim on the axle is done... |

These two were heart stoppers. The ones that make you think dang I don't want to be responsible for this ha ha... Don't close your eyes Wallace crew. The luck you brought is still strong. No fatalities but it was air born  This next one will make you think of clearing the track as it was headed towards the camping area...oh boy those are metal cars! Turn the wheel Canary ahhhhh busted guide pin. Towed back in for replacement.  |

Speaking of guide pins this one didn't make it far earlier in the game. Busted pin put it in the pits and waited out a second chance at qualifying.  |

There are some differences in these rounds of qualifying. After every one I thought looked odd we ran the test car. Test car ran in its ET limit. I don't know why? Anyway before I go check top qualifier I would like to share 1 qualifier with you...perfect ET in both lanes...pretty neat   |
