Gentlemen

 

here are the result of the best lap out of ten on a 30 meter MDF track (built by Plazidus in Germany). 

 

 

Voltage was 12 V, the track was cleaned and vacumed before the race tires were treated and cleaned just before each car 10 laps (I used Barney Pornor 's magic potion),.

 

Last Minute Men         5.519

Steve King                    5.571

Mike Zimmerman         5.589

Walker/Weldon            5.599

Gary Vogeler                 6.484

Evil Minows                   6.685

WSC                               6.960

 

No cars were damaged, a couple of them are running quite low by now.

 

One thing I noticed is that tires are not behaving the same, some were loosing traction before others.

 

Anyway, it's been a pleasure and an honor to have all of them here, THANKS everybody!

 

Kind regards

Well Gentleman, I think we have a winner for Lucky 13 concours... Congratulations Duffy, that is one gorgeous paint job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was right...

[macman]

Brian: your PM box is full, so I am posting this here

When my car gets to Ohio... I think the problem with is the front wheels... I think they need to be changed out to the skinny retro canam fronts JK makes. I would appreciate if you could do this when the cars arrive at your track. If you need to make holes in the body for clearance, go ahead. The car originally had .375 width , the ones I am thinking about are .25 wide, i think, 3/32 axle. Let me know if you can get these, & if you can do this...

[One_Track_Mind]

Got you covered!!
We have plastic and aluminum front from JK
Which do you prefer?

Yes, need to figure out how to delete some messages thru the mobile, or simply kick the wife off the PC for a bit. LoL!

[macman]

The ones I have are plastic, but what ever is the thinest...

WTG ....  Mr. Duffy !!!

[Lowrider]

Brian has asked me to post a photo here with a question for Gary V.


 
Gary, your comm cooler has obviously been in contact with the hard-working bite bar on your chassis.  Would you like Brian to remove it?
 
Regards,

[garyvmachines]

Hi Guys

 

 I ground that place on the cooler so it would not drag on the bite bar. I think it will be ok as it is........

 

Thanks for looking . !!!!!!

 

GAV

[One_Track_Mind]

Gary,
I placed the car on a power supply, and at low voltage, I pushed up the pans and it did INDEED make contact with the comm cooler.
I will not touch it, if you choose not too. Just my personal observation from inspecting the car for the first time.

Posting for Brian


Cars at REM now

[garyvmachines]

Hi Brian

 

 OK I don't need X-tra Drag ......

Please Take it off or Grind the heat sink down , what ever is EZ ....

Thanks Brian

[Pablo]

I thought maybe that was a speed secret, Gary

Rear end lifts upon deceleration, floating bite bar contacts comm cooler providing extra braking action

[garyvmachines]

Ya Pablo

 

 That is a Breaking Secret !!!!!  I NEED a Speed Secret !!!!  

[Lowrider]

Posting for Brian McP again.

If it was Jersey they'd probably be riding in the trunk next to a couple of shovels, but this is Ohio and a little bit of comfort is given to those about to be raced. Or erased ...



Drag race at REM on 11th July and full road race on the REM Hillclimb on the Lucky 13th of July. Bring them on!

Regards,
