Motor face is how I find the strongest overall reading. Then if you do top and bottom, you will see one side pulls more than the other side. This is what Sam was describing. Road racers will put the strongest side down for handling. Drag racing is all acceleration. Next time your at your bench, take a car and spin it up at 6 9 12 volts. Then introduce a magnet in the traction location, flip it around do it again. Did it change? was one way better than the other? Fun with magnets Good Times Never tried that. I have matched magnets many times with little effect. Never tried unbalanced magnets as to have one side pull harder than the other. Will give it a try. Just tried fooling with adding magnets outside the chassis to see if there was any effect. I could not tell if it helped or hurt. I thought it caused a strain, and slight slowing, in one spot near the rear magnet on a pancake chassis. I was using a pretty strong neo magnet for the test. Anybody know any way to tell if a magnet is a ceramic, poly, or neo by looking at it? I have some that look like they could be ceramic or poly. My gauss meter tells me they are either good ceramic or poor poly?? |

Adam,Sam and Jeff Pa Pa-Fin has helped me with my Ghostbusters Car Theam and ideas to rebuild it 3 times ,?? Should have had Sam to it from the start ??, Well after meeting Scooby doo and Gnome, Seems Jeff had a super charged chassis built for the "Beyond the Future Event" None of us even had a idea of Beouned the future Drag Cars ??, Well we took what was left of the Mystery machine back to the Ghostbusters Chop shop, after working the Mystery Machine's and and Ghostbusters Majestic. through the night and we'e hours of the morning. Were ready to roll out with the Back to the Future Mystery Machine. We're taken the lead this time ?? Crossfire  |

Finistauri, carla60, Smokinvinnie, crossfire, Charlie, and Arie your haulers arrived this afternoon and you couldn't have gotten the beyond the future mystery machine together at a better time. I have been experiencing very strange things around here and now the trash cans aren't even safe.  |

That's a super cool car with the headlights, Dave. I was inspired to buy a Christine Fury yesterday at a flea market because the movie played on TV a few days ago. I love watching the car rebuild itself. The rest of the movie? Not so much.  |

I have fixed the chrome on the front bumper since that picture was taken. My cars are shipping out today. Tracking # 9405 8112 0621 6839 8902 57 I have to admit I enjoyed getting the cars ready for a race. It's been awhile. |

I'll be on the lookout for your cars Dave and I'll be sure to keep Christine away from the rest of the pack.

"Count Down" 11 Days 🏁 🏎
🤔 any sign of the Beouned The Future Mystery Machine and Gnome,
We took the lead to the Halloween Drag Event, and Still Lost Jeff 🤔
Did he take a trip back to the Future ?
Let us know when He rolls in, We the Ghostbusters can't contain any safety for the Crews and Darg cars by Ourselves.
We may all end up in the Can as dinner 🍽 for that one tooth fellow.

Crazynski your hauler just pulled through the gates. Welcome to ITs dragway. Adam, Thank you very kindly. Yep, those were some fast moose this time around. I should create a Bullwinkle J. Moose livery. Very Canadian thinking. However, I have a feeling that the younger crowd might not know the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon. I noticed that this is my last official comment with a Pro Stock title. Look-out Funny Cars! Ken's on his way! Cheers, Ken |
