The Sedan Shootout Series mail-in
Hey Smitty, I just looked for some videos on youtube to try to help you out, but, there wasn't much there. It's kinda hard to describe without seeing it...but I could probably help you out this Summer at the LJLRC meet, if you bring it with you. I could bring my laptop, and maybe we could do some video work! Sorry that I can't be more help!
fishtail gave me a start but I don't remember the things I didn't write down... or what the icons mean
- Let me see what I can do, no promises. This is like landing a school bus on the sun...not easy... from a distance, even harder — Traction-Event
- I'll check with him tonight and see if we kept better notes? — Traction-Event
Monday noon sedan shootout at the a-ok coral ; The HOLE SHOT SPECIAL track specs ; 1" of DT beyond the starter's door, 6" of DT as incline, 1" DT connector, 18" of DT transfer, 100" of DT runout...Wizard timer...
one of my favorites was delta's #3 '32 ford, quick and smooth as silk... squared off in the semis with scary #75 ;
the draggin' twins ;
double tri - 5's ;
Had 3 dead heets ... bracket B final ... note the sloppy stoppers under the timing tower, worked great, cars rolled back to the transfer ;
#39 RC took #6 DEL by .011 sec 1st pass of the B finals... they dead heated the lane swap... so cool !
The HOLE SHOT SPECIAL track gave me different times every time both lanes... so I ran both cars in each lane and averaged if needed [twice]... for ease in posting I am posting the pass times of the run the winner took ;

- #6 DELTA 6 outdoes DELTA 6 # 3 for third place... go dan go... — model40fan
- Congrats Luke, Rally Case and Delta! — 72_Chevy_C10
- That's tight! Thanks smitty. — cliffordshaw
oops... I used the brackets for the "second" heet, the one that I couldn't fit in today [back problems] ... the results pairings don't match the pictured pairings...
Smitty, please post photo of bracket, I'd like to be sure on points...
OK points for the sedans are done and final…( just one race in Maine? ) I scored them as on the sheet, no race for 3rd.
Prime movers this week. With my #15 laying an egg allowed Rally Case and Fat mike to move up the points chart. Both their cars performed well this weekend. Rally Case fought his way to the podium, this guy is in form of late and showing us all some tail lights. Also honorable mention goes out to Delta 6…his cars made up a lot of ground even though he missed the first two races. Could’ve been in the fight for a podium spot…
Congrats Luke on a very dominating car…only blemish was the Winter nationals loss to Rally Case… Race on RLD!!! See ya in Pony Wars… it’s on!
