TRANS AM Road Race - Official Thread
Still saying private video.
- looks like fun ! — model40fan
- Yeah, some cars really liked the loop...some really didn't! — 72_Chevy_C10
Still no cars from WA...I hope they aren't lost!
I'll give it until Saturday before I change the track. I'll be running the next heat Sat. afternoon...I'be got a really big side job coming that us going to take a lot of time...but, I'll get them run!
It's showing that Delta 6's cars have been delivered today! So, I will run them tonight and get you the current standings!
Here'a picture that Delta 6 is happy to see...
The good news is, the cars got here safe and sound.
The bad news is....well...that Mustang could not get around the loop...and I gave it a bunch of tries...so it will have to get last place points
The Camaro ran okay though!
- Maybe the front air dam is too low? If you have time feel free to hack it off with a set of nail clippers if you like. — delta6
- I'll take a closer look at it this weekend :) — 72_Chevy_C10

This weekend's race will have some curves in it....I wonder who can handle the curves the best?
Hi Guys,
I haven'the forgotten about you!
Delta 6, I checked the clearance of the chin spoiler going into the loop on your Mustang and it was hitting. So, I took the chin spoiler off and then the front bumper off the car was plowing into the loop. I think it's just the combination of little wheels and a long front overhang...that car really didn't like the loop.
Here is a pic of it with the spoiler removed...
...it's hard to see, but it is still plowing the front. It should like the track today a little better.
And, speaking of the track...

I hope that you are able to see that...I can't change it to 'public' viewing through my phone. Let me know.
The baseline # for this track is around the 3.20 mark...I was using my #14 Camaro from the Pony wars for the testing.
I tried setting up a Google document for the points at work, but I just didn't have the time. I will try to get a chart made up this weekend.
So, it's off to run round 1! Good luck, All!
