LJLRC Wagon Wars Finals
#57 Traction Event vs #24 Dadvball
http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f311/Dadvball/100_1240_zps1ead0d1a.jpg
The first trip down the track was quick, with both cars running 2.271 to finish in a tie. WOW!
The second run down the track was better, however both racers again tied, running a 2.269! Amazing!
At this point the spectators couldn't believe it as these two duked it out.
The third and final race saw the #57 Traction Event cross the finish line in 2.268, besting the time of 2.272 run by Dadvbal's #24. 4/1000ths of a second!
Congrats to the #57 and Traction Event for winning the LJLRC Edition of Wagon Wars!
Congrats TE also for running the Fastest Time of the Day in the Wagon Wars race - 2.262.

- some fast stuff, congrats to TE for the win and dadvbal for coming as close as one can and for hostingheet #3.. — model40fan
- Thanks Smitty! — Dadvball
Great race coverage DVB. Like I’ve said before posting the times really tells you how close the racing is. 5 spokes or not these are fast times, and fast cars… My finals run with DVB…two dead heats…amazing! Then winning by a coat of paint, I told you guys that Nomad was sneaky fast. DVB’s #22 found it’s legs as well with a run into the final 8. Nice work goes to 72_Chevy as well two cars in the final 4… impressive
Also, I have been reminded that I had not been awarding points for 3rd place…my mistake. It is fixed and the extra point has been awarded to those cars
1st race #58 came in 3rd
2nd race #91 came in 3rd
3rd race #27 came in 3rd
Points!!! Check my math....
1 point for each win
1 point for bye run
1 bonus point for winning overall
- Looks like a battle shaping up...for 2nd place! :) — 72_Chevy_C10
- Thanks TE! — Dadvball
- Yep, tight racing with that group. I found it could go either way on my track and the LJLRC track. — Dadvball

Hi Guys,
The cars should be there when I get home...I'll check them out tonight. Here is the bracket for tomorrow...I made sure that no one was facing the same person in the first round as the last race. And I gave the 4 by's to the top 4 from the last race...
How's the food down at the SUSSEX SPEEDWAY ? ... I drew one of the TEs first round...
- Sorry Smitty...luck of the draw! The grilled chicken is pretty good, but I have to clear the snow off my grill! — 72_Chevy_C10
