I have about a dozen so will be ordering more to make sure all the cars are set up correctly to run on this track before the race.
The only car that I have concerns with still is "Miss-K". She is powerful and very quick, but the rear tires tend to chatter a bit coming out of a turn. Since this track has quite a few turns.... I felt it still needs tweeking.
"Manta Ray" ran about the best of all 6 I tested. Of course I liked my car best personally, but Ray's little Hammerhead can dive deep into the corner and not come off. Not much for brakes, but it just doesn't come out of the slot if you let it coast through. Very sweet car and reminds me a lot of my ol'Firefly from the previous Sunchaser Proxy.
While "Titanic" was a bit of a challenge to get used to... once I did I found it fun to drive. Sliding around the corners can be quite effective and it's not slow! I even applied a little glue.... just for fun, and it really became FUN! I like this one too.
Heck, I liked them all!
Anyway, I spent the balance of the time testing my new D3 car that never made it to the Pete Zimmerman race. Once I swapped in a guide washer it ran like stink! Lot of fun and very quick. But the hard front wheels were noisy on that wood track. Something I wasn't used to and "Titanic" did the same thing with it's hard fronts. All in all a great evening and quite productive.
Now, most of you are probably asking: when is the next race? Well, I don't know yet.
Still need the timer installed and some of the overhead lights need the ballast replaced. Then I need to find a few drivers. Most of which I can simply call on the phone and get a promise that they will be there. But, short answer is, it won't be long!
Goodnight.
