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.....

Tom, we look forward to seeing you, all the good cars have been put away for months.    Simon is keeping them safe!
