Nice lightweight rail !

[boxerdog]

Thanks, I bet that car is 20 years old. Been in a box forever. Still hoping to maybe get a Monster working in time, but not sure yet.

[boxerdog]

Deadline is close. I will enter a Monster also hoping that I can get it working before shipping. Pics to follow.

Pics from my fone are really less than swell, but it's what I have.

 

A first for me, I actually track tested Proxy cars! Something I haven't been able to do before(lazy bastard!).

 

Testing at Buena Park Raceway gave me ...

Stock 36-D gave me low 1.500's at a blistering 30 MPH (yawn).

The altered gave me a best of 1.411, but doesn't repeat that, but runs low 1.420's.

The Daytona...well keep spectators away from the track as it has SPECTACULARLY CRASHED, TWICE! Goes like 70MPH though, so....

[Gator Bob]

I told you guys Foamy would pull a squirrel out of his hat.

Quite a nice field of cars it's a pity Foamy's photos aren't better I would like a better look at that 65 to see how he did that endplate brush assembly I recently picked one up on ebay with the lamms ground similar & his 70 mph funny should be cool it will also be intresting to see how Boxerdog's jr fueler goes with the 196 & that light weight.

Foamy, are these a full 1320?

What voltage at BPR? 

Clean track or glued?

 

Yup, Sending proxy cars without testing is ... nail biting. Sending them tested is kind of a shot in the dark not ever seeing the track they run on. Drag proxy not so much.
