Gil,
Not just 1.5 hrs.; Group 2 gains an ADDITIONAL 1.5 hrs. Sat. morning to prep while Group 1 is practicing.
So Group 2 gets 3 hrs. of additional prep time over Group 1; doesn't seem that even to me.

So u pass out motors to everyone both pro and fk at the same time... but the problem is fk drivers get more time with there motors than pro unless when pros turn in there motors and cars for tech and impound the fk huys should have to imlound there motos at the same time since the motos are handed out at the same time

It's for anyone over 60, it's a separate class effectively.

I would post the schedule for all to see on a poster board but even go so far as to make a bunch of copies so the racers can have them on hand and don't have to keep running back to the post or keep asking you questions over and over.

Real funny, Jay, expecting slot racers to do something where they have take the time to do the right thing. LOL.

If the state held a surprise inspection during the R4 they would make TTH get a license for an adult daycare facility!

Maybe everyone should wait for the race director to chime in before going off on a tangent.

Not that it ever happens here on Slotblog... you know... going off on a tangent.

Wow......This is amazing........The top drivers talking about a motor like it is the single most important part of the slot car and the only part that makes any difference whatsoever. All this from some of the fastest racers in the ORS. I know for a fact the best racers in ORS spend time developing chassis too. Also, it is agreed that a dog of a motor will ruin a race but the extra practice time is not wasted.

I understand the need to break in motors for a long time. It sounds like showing up early will still give some advantage in chassis setup and any other tuning. Time and motor management become an issue that requires a solution. There is still one week left to get creative and come up with a solution. I know the fast guys are going to come up with an idea and kick butt at the R4.

Build a special car to break in 2,3, or 4 motors at a time.

Build a small banked oval in the pits, on stilts, to go over the boxes.
