Preston, I will learn where to push that car. Bryan, Phil Nyland Tim Neja and Oscar are usually the guys giving the pointers.
These are a great group of racers, as they all are.

The purple car is my 2012 Summer Western Classic TQ car, very similar to what Jay raced at the warm-up race, while the yellow one is
the first build of the present Kamo-Speed, almost as same as my TQ car but the angle and dia. of the piano wires to restrict the side-pan movement is different.
The both cars still run as fast as the next versions of Kamo Can-Am chassis.

Thank you, the car ran well, and did not suffer from mechnical issues like some encountered.... that helped, and it seemed to not mind BLK as much either; I think I got 38 laps on BLK in the first heat, which put me behind but not in a hole and I was off BLK!
I think I may have been catching Mill towards the end, but getting past him was a tall order. He never let me get close enough to attack. Should be a good CPC, with the attack of the spiders and the battle of the Kamo clones!

Thanks Haruki-san, I forgot about the Western States, the motor I ran was from the WS as well.

It does not matter how light the car, Duran can run one at 105gm , like I did, and still win on the King Track. Motor and tires are a lot more important...... Bring on the Magic Bullet 3.8 chassis, we have yet to see it exist on this planet......
John, I ran at 98 grams last week, with Alpha Wonder and the track was not really very good traction wise.....
