Worked on the car last night and tested tonight.  I'm quite happy.  Gonna bring the PAIN Tuesday!

 

Bob you are building a car for Nick?  Can't wait to race with him!  Jerry built a beater car with a 4002...not sure if it's the FK or the regular chinese arm but it is poly neo mags.  It's fast!

I got the fastest race lap time at 3.947.

 

Can't wait for next week!  Ordered some bodies, I'd like to try an Alpha Valkyrie, anyone have any experience with that one?

 

Thanks for your interest! :)

The front of the wings should extend all the way to the end of the body. It makes for a much stronger tape job in the front. Go over to http://slotblog.net/...ding-tutorials/ for two good tutorials on winging bodies. The front end looks a little weak otherwise looks pretty good.

To All,

Since last post I made it to one race, but you can follow all the action that's been happening Tuesday nights, as well as other race nights, on The Race Place's FaceBook page at the following link:

 

https://www.facebook...ce/189898570952

 

The guys have been racing!  In 10 weeks I think only two were skipped due to a lesser field.

 

Check out the Podiums and find out what some of the New Jersey's Shore Area Wing Car Racers look like!

 

(note: you've been warned..... :P )
