Good racing in Round 3...Chevy C10's #3 Camaro set a tough mark by tieing the fast time of 3.09...
But, hold the phone, Rally Case also ran a 3.09...
These two were tied going into the last round and they are still tied...

The shootout for 1st place was great. C10 and Rally Case both ran 3.11 in the first round of the shootout. C10 ran another 3.11 and then Rally Case's Camaro ran the fastest lap of the day at 3.07 to get the win!
FatMike put Luke11 in his place be running a 3.14 to Luke's 3.20 to settle the race for 3rd!
Good close racing this weekend, with Rally Case taking another win

- slower speeds let me see the sloppy stoppa in action... i had to fine tune the elastics to get it right... — model40fan
I'm not sure if I'm doing the next event next week...or tomorrow. I was just messing around with the track setup and I like how it will work, so I might run it tomorrow.
The next event will be a hill climb...
I have the end of the track up on a milk crate and I have my Maxx Traxxx finish line on the slope...if the car can light the finish light, it was a successfull climb. I will start off with the line lower down the hill and I will move it up the hill as the contest goes along. The car that makes it the farthest is the winner
Hey Guys, I've had my coffee, and I'm going to do the hill climb event today!
The finish line will start at 124" (3' from the end of the track) and will be moved an inch further up the hill after every round.
At first, I will report the cars that get knocked out...and later, I will report the cars that are left...until there is just one.
Good luck to all!
The first few rounds have been run, with a few cars out...
Luke11's #54
Delta 6's #2 Camaro
Luke11's #56
But, so you can see what this is about, here is a video of Smitty's Cuda at 127"
