Another pic here of Dennis Samson's 3rd Place car. Notice the lead wire installation..........Couldn't be any lighter or simpler and perfectly self centering!
Dennis said he first saw this set up used by Horky on a Eurosport car!

Nice report as usual Bryan. Congrats to the usual suspects ! I had some fun, chat with racers and of course Imperial Burger !
Have to make a correction. Mix up on the CanAm tech slip. Wrong slip. That is not a Crutchfield chassis.
I have a short story of the motor I ran in F-1, from the history book.

Nothing cooler than retro cars on the flat track, you guys are inspiring!!!!
Hats off to Adi Samson, that is one great looking slot car body.

Dennis has run bodies painted by his wife several times in the past. Any that I've seen have been top quality work. I'm not 100% sure, but I think much of her paint jobs is hand-painted.

Had fun out there last Sat. Had a pretty good car, just had some guys that were a bit quicker than me. Oh well.
Thanks Gary for getting my Can-Am to me, much appreciated. Also a thank you to Dale for straightening out my F-1.
Guys here at BPR are the best. Had a prior commitment, so missed the CA race. Next time.
