***ATTENTION ATTENTION***
Good morning racers and race fans. The race is looking better and better everyday. A good mix of racers from all over the country and beyond will make this another great event at Bear Creek Dragway! There are currently 48 cars signed up not counting the List cars.I will be starting the "Guess the ET" games today and the ET will be posted next Friday. We will have three games that will end on Raceday Thursday 9/26. Prize for each game will be an AW Xtraction rolling chassis.  Also as I mentioned previously the AJR custom Cadillac ATS-V that I recently completed will be given away as well. I'm not all of that and there are much better cutomizers than me out there, but it will make someone a nice car to hopefully enjoy. I originally wanted to do something that would include some racer participation but I want to make sure everybody has an opportunity to win it. Sooooo I am just going to put everyone's name in a hat and raffle it off. If you are signed up for the race then you are in the raffle. Everything for the race is pretty much in order other than track prep and setup and the race stuff itself. It is just a countdown to raceday at this point.Finally..........Jag Hobbies is on board as a Race Sponsor once again. Jim provides an awesome source for hobby supplies of all kinds and a great selection of slot car stuff. Be sure and support them and spend some dollars there. I requested gift certificates so that they can be used toward things each of you may need. There will be (10) $10 certificates to give out. Thank you Jag Hobbies!!!I'm starting to get excited.....are you? |

Jeff, are the A-Dash chassis legal for the 3 gear class on this one? Hello Dave. After reconsidering, I have decided to allow the A Dash Mondo chassis. You and Ecbill made me realize I was looking at the chassis wrong. I deleted my post initially answering your question. The Mondo chassis is allowed. I have changed the race post to show that. Thank you. ***ATTENTION ATTENTION***
Shortly after I posted the Sign Up sheet I was asked if the Dash Mondo chassis was legal for this race. I initially said no but was told it was comparable to AFX non magna traction so I allowed it. I just realized something and I want to make this clear. NTRA Pancake Stock rules (both 3 gear and 4 gear), which we are using, state 14ohm is the minimum ohm for the armature. The armature for the Mondo is lower than that. The one I have in front of me right now is ohming out at 10.9. That armature would "NOT" be legal for this race. So although the Mondo chassis is allowed, the stock armature would not be legal. I am sorry for any inconvenience but the rules are posted on the Sign Up page. I am running a stock Mondo chassis for the first "Guess the ET" game and was checking the specifications for posting and realized it has a lower ohm armature. |

OK here we are for the first pre race "Guess the ET" game.
The first car up is a sweet lime green and black Javelin that came to me from England. It is sitting on top of a bone stock Dash Mondo chassis. This chassis has not made any passes. It will only be cleaned and set up for the track before making any ET passes. The chassis armature ohms at 10.9, 18t crown, .495 rear tire. The voltage will be 18v. I will announce the ET next Friday and the winner will receive a new AW Xtraction rolling chassis. Good luck!
