Artin American Thunder in NEPA

[k0z0oo1]

Gentlemen,
The cars have arrived safe and sound in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Originally, we planned on hosting this series on our Artin 16x6 4 lane oval... However, it seems more likely to be on BWatkins37's No-Way... Speedway. This track is from FullTrigger.com and is a 6x14 bullring, 4" lane spacing and uses a melamine surface. (If you follow along with Da Vols Forums Cup NASCAR proxy this track was used to host last year)

I'm working out the schedule with Bill and a few of our club members to get this race in. We will be receiving the Da Vols cars within the next week, so this should be a short turn around.

While we're in the holding pattern, I will make sure all cars are mechanically sound doing some hot laps on my 80' 3 lane road course. I will post any findings.

Thanks for allowing us to play with your toys! I'll keep you informed for when we will be racing.

Here's the shakedown



Anyone that has an issue notated, let me know how you want to proceed, weather to repair and how to repair.

Thanks for the information. Please put a screw in and back off until loose. Cover with tape.
Seems to still be running good. Well seems I got Gameover on your road-course. But he's a terror on an oval.
Now why is your car way down in the field? You build fantastic Forums Cup Cars!
Hope I can finally get a win. But a top three should keep me leading the series unless BTaylor gets the win.

I didn't put enough time into this car... And taking a better look at it now that it's back, it seems the front tires are not round as well as the rear wheels being out of round. Should have spent more time in it, but for me it was more about doing the decals than it was about setup.

Just checked my remarks when the cars were at my track, "loud with vibration". Now teach me to build a better "Cup Car".

Thank you for sharing the qualifying data - looking forward to hearing how they do on the oval!

RR bearing loose, If it doesn't pop out it is OK, if it may pop out please glue it into place

Thanks and push it hard.

The race will take place this Friday night. Should be racing by 8:00. If I can get things worked out, we may have live scoring. Also possible we may got live on Facebook at points through the evening.

I will make repairs to all cars that have been requested. Thanks for letting us run them!

Don't worry about the missing screw in my car. all my cars have a few screws loose, just like the builder!

Wow,
Great looking track. Thanks to host and those who ran the cars. What happened to my Coors Light Dodge? Went backwards at this venue. Hope I stayed in the top five. Thanks for a top ten finish.
