Modern American Muscle Car Sportsman series - Ohio!

[TuscoTodd]

As noted in Arroldn's post - the car's have arrived safe and sound here in Ohio!

In a nice little twist, I was able to get the field up to the track last night for some shake down and qualifying! :D

Based on what I saw in shake down, qualifying was run on three of the 8 lanes. I utilized the purple #2 lane (one away from the very inside lane), blue #4 lane and white #7 lane (one away from the very outside lane). Each car was run 30 laps per lane with the fastest lap being recorded and used for the qualifying calculation.
I will be working to compile the qualifying data, impressions, etc shortly - but in the mean time, thought I would share a couple pictures of the field staged to start the fun!
To say that these are some fun running cars would be an understatement!

Here is the qualifying info summary - I will be putting together a table of the overall weights / balances / etc this weekend as well to go with the data below.

Great group of cars guys!!!

Wow another top three Q for me. This was a new chassis design from Gameover's Garage. Appears to be doing great!!

[arroldn]

Todd,
Thanks for the comments. Now to figure out if it just needs a motor change or also some chassis work?

Looking at the pictures of Todd's cars I may need to add a little brass up front to keep the nose planted.

Arrold -
I think with a bit more forward bias on the weight, the wheelieing issue would be gone. :)

Here is the chart with the overall weights and front / rear bias numbers for the full field - it's an interesting mix!

[arroldn]

Todd,
Thanks for the comments. I had based my weight on 40/60 as I had seen in many discussions on weight bias. Similar to Gameover's car I see. But formulas don't always translate into real world results. More weight up front please. :think:

The high body isn't helping I think. :)

Looks like a 5th place car.
