Thanks again Jens.
I think you missed my question in post##689
Do you have any feedback on my car before the pinion came loose?
How did it handle how much laps it did on what lane compared to others?
Any things that can be improved besides the pinion
This will give me some idea of what could have been.

Excellent Jens.
Thank you very much for that
I would be in for more races if possible and if someone could fix my pinion.
Also if any of the drives have feedback on how the cars handled that would be nice,
that is if they can remember how and what the cars did.
Always good to know what can be improved for future builds.
when I have the money again I will see if I can buy a new body and get the same decals and a decal setting liquid to set the decals proper as the ones I used really needed that to take the curves of the car as one can see.

Thanks to all those who organized this event and the racers who participated in this proxy race. Looks like they had a good time racing these little beauties. Congrats to the podium finishers. Pictures were great and looks like the after race festivites were rewarding too!

As my understanding is, that only Jaak (# 707) and me want more races, I'll send the cars "home".
Slotbaker/Steve King gave me his Australian address, so I'll have the opportunity to send it directly to him.
Is there any other wish of "direct - mailing", please let me know. Otherwise I'll send all cars back to the sender in US.
Once again: It was really good fun, to drive these "babies". The results are showing the competitivnes of the cars very well.
We should continue this kind of races!!

Hey Jens I mailed you my address.
Thanks again for running the round and making the proxy international
Posted 02 June 2014 - 11:37 AM
Jens, I would be happy to accept all of the USA Cars and get them back to their respective owners..........I know Rick Davis has 2 cars, Pablo and Dave Crevie, Larry Kelley, Paul J? have cars.....and mine..............Any others?
Posted 02 June 2014 - 04:57 PM
I don't do paypal but I would be happy to re-imburse any shipping charges any other way. If Ray
wants to handle it, I can pay him whatever.
Too bad this is winding down. I almost started to believe this was going to be a perpetual proxy.

I would call for a tune up and a grudge race later this summer.
I would like to see the data analysis: Weight, gearing, driving impressions, breakage issues(if any)such as pinion, body mounts, tires, etc.
NEXT race, the builders get to race them.

I am in for a Grudge race.
Can't get much worse
Posted 02 June 2014 - 06:55 PM
I sent Jens my address (mine was the gray #3). I'll be glad to pay him back for shipping. Just let me know how much. Again thanks to all our fellow racers overseas who gave this proxy event an international flavor.

I am sure the half dozen Chicago area participants will have a race or two....maybe a special event at the next SANO in the fall. or before.

I saw Ken Stevens would like his sent to his address. I do think it would be cheaper to send the cars above in one box.Jens, I would be happy to accept all of the USA Cars and get them back to their respective owners..........I know Rick Davis has 2 cars, Pablo and Dave Crevie, Larry Kelley, Paul J? have cars.....and mine..............Any others?

I'm flexible on how my car is returned. I'll be glad to pay my part of the shipping. Just let me know where, when and how.

Hi,
sorry, but I've been busy on professional duties.
Having the personal addresses from Paul, # 12, Ken, # 3, Jaak and Steve, I'll send their cars directly to them.
As my car is already "home" I could send the other 6 ones to Ray, as he suggested.
I'll try to do so during this week!
Posted 09 June 2014 - 06:15 AM
Jens, save yourself some trouble and please include my white and gold car in the group going to Ray. Ray, gift my car to Swiss and it can stay there. It would just collect dust here at "The Wolcott Ranch" anyway.
I heard a rumor Swiss is gearing up for G7 racing again so he can use it to practice on the flat track in his spare time
