I was setting up the track to run the tournament today and discovered that the finish gate cord was no long enough to cover the entire length of the track. I went around to Radio Shack and a few other places and couldn't find any 6-wire phone cords so as a result I had to reduce the track length to about 18-feet, pretty much the same size as the normal Redline Derby track.

I was planning on the full 20+ foot track for this tournament but that won't be happening. If you based your picks on a 25-foot track as originally planned and want to make changes, please do so TODAY before results are posted tomorrow.

Sorry for the late notice and sudden change, I admit I was somewhat unprepared for this situation. When I had the drag track out before the cord reached just fine but realized that I wasn't using all the track for that review.

Otherwise, results will be posted tomorrow and a winner named! Good luck!

Looking forward to this...my first RDR fantasy event!

(Oh...I suppose, I should add this: "Hello!")

Dont know if you noticed my post about this before but when you find and extension, you will likely have to rewire one of the ends so that the wires are || end to end. I found mine at Fry's.
