Good data, and photo... bring on the racing! Lighter cars could perform better than the heavies on a track with less incline...
Yeah, should be interesting to see the difference, TE. I'll be running my standard set-up this weekend...224" track, Smitty Start gate, and 3DBot finish line, 26" drop. And I'll change it for next week...probably try to go scale quarter mile with a little more drop.
I'll do the bracket tonight and race later in the day tomorrow.
Good luck to all!
Hey Guys,
Here's the bracket for tomorrow's race...

I just wanted to say that there are some nice builds! McJiggles and Delta 6's cars are really nicely painted. And I have to give a tip of the hat to ISwingPing's two yellow Corvettes...they are nicely painted too, but what I wanted to mention is that he is running custom aluminum frames on both cars! Nicely done! I'very been meaning to do that!
Traction Event's cars, as usual look really cool (for Fords!)...and it's great to have Stroller, Brian and Rally Case in the mix!
Good luck Everyone!
Here's a teaser for Saturday's race...I decided to test the video a little more and run the 'Win to get in' races tonight...
So, the field is set!
- Love the lights on the track, nice touch — cliffordshaw
- Thanks! I'm still tinkering, but I think it gives it a kinda cool effect! :) — 72_Chevy_C10
The first round is in the books...
I'm looking forward to round 2...some good natch-ups coming up!
Round Two is now history...the first race between ISwing Ping and Delta 6 went 6 races (I only showed two of them for length)...I'm not going to say who won, you have to watch and see...
On to the Semi Finals and Finals!
- I tie!!! amazing!!!! both cars moving a bunch on the big end of the track... great tight racing — Traction-Event
The Third Place and Finals...
I'll post the final bracket after everyone has had a chance to watch the videos
- close, but no banana.... congrats. my cars seem to get poor starts, then run folks down...some of the time... — Traction-Event
- Yeah, your cars need a little lower rear end gear! — 72_Chevy_C10
So when does TE retired? LOL
Guess I should be happy one car made it out of the first round. I suck...even my stocks can't win.
