Adam, All of my crews pulled out earlier today. 2 Top Fuel Dragsters, 2 T-Jets, a PSO, and a 4GO. They made it about 200 miles and are going to rest for the night. There was a report that one of the Top Fueler haulers had smoke coming from the back of the rig. Nothing could be found, so they are all heading your way again in the morning. Hopefully there are no more problems, and they will be getting to the track on Tuesday. It looks like Tuesday is going to be a busy day getting all the haulers in the gate. We will be ready. |

Prepping for the Stock Tjet race was enjoyable. Started out with 2 cars that were already set up for stock class but had braids on them from a previous event. Once the braids came off, they slowed big time!
Since those 2 didn't seem to be responding very well, I pulled out a few more Tjets of all makes. They had to earn their chance to go to the race.
Had 3 finalists that were all pretty close. One surprise was a Dash Mondo with a 16+ ohm 2 lam arm. It didn't quite make the cut, but man was it close. Competing against 2 14-ohm arms. Lower resistance doesn't always mean faster.
With that in mind, Dash is having a $2.99 sale on some arms that were supposed to be 16+ ohms for Fray racing. Many of them came in under 16ohms which makes them illegal. Dan said some are closer to 15ohms. Might be a good opportunity to score some inexpensive stock class arms.
He also has some Green Mamba magnets pretty cheap. Not sure if they fit into any of our classes.

1-DR1 SS and 1-Stock Tjet went into the mail yesterday 9400111206217200652708, I sent you money through PP.
No car pictures, but rail is light green and Tjet is a Black Dash Shelby Cobra, no list cars sent, removing them and starting over with new builds for a later race. Thanks Adam

Dash Green Mambas are "level 6" full height polymer magnets for A/FX Magnatraction chassis. They do not fit early A/FX chassis.

Think the black mambas and reds fit the AFX and TJet style chassis. They don’t show either of those in stock at the moment.

Black Mamba is the "level 10" for A/FX Magnatraction. They used to sell red and black sets of Black Widow "level 10" polymer for A/FX and T-Jet but I haven't seen them listed for a while.

I saw the unpainted Green Mambas but did not realize that they are being discontinued.
Thanks for the heads up.

A little flip flop action on the icey dragster....Sweet! Love that Camaro too Bill! Well they all look great those are just my favorites Thank you Jeff. The dragsters will look a little different when they get to the track. Pictures were taken before the decals went on. Don't know how many times the Camaro almost went into the scrap heap but never gave up on it. Problems started when the flame masking was pulled off and some of the candy orange came off with it. Lots of touch up work and a few strategically placed decals salvaged it. Kudos to you and Rick for the razzel-dazzle powders in the finish coats! |

I had them running OK and then they went in the toilet for some reason and I gave up at 2AM Saturday morning. And Bill your sure making it hard for me to be the Top Procrastinator 😁
