A photographer I'm not.

The cars definitely look good on that track! :)

Gentleman, Qualifying is going down today. Ten laps each Hot Rod. Will post results later on. :handgestures-thumbup:

[TuscoTodd]

Sweet deal! Thanks for the update Rusty! :)

[SRQSloter]

For the record I won't be ustreaming the race. My free pro account expired and you would have to deal with stinkin commercials. So I am going to you tube everyone's car in both directions. That way I don't have to rush also. :)

[Burrell]

Excited to see the results, Rusty. Thanks for the weight info as well.

Thank you for the update Rusty! :D

Here is my impressions on everybody's Hot Rods. In qualifying order.

Arroldn- Very well balanced and smooth. Nice car.
TuscoTodd- Noisy and fast but chatters in the turns.
Burrell- Quick and a little loose. Will tip out if pushed.
Czar- A little loose and tippy if pushed. Gears are little noisy and not much movement in the guide.
Ember- Smooth and quiet. A bit heavy. Consistent lap times should race well.
Reek455- Another smooth and quiet one that should race well. Motor seems down on power compared to others.
Bibbster- Quick and a little loose. Little more weight Bibbster.
VenturaAlfa- A little rocket. Tippy and light in the front. Narrow track hurts. Put some of that rear weight in front.
MVR- Quick but tail happy.
Baford1- Tire tires tires. Absolutely no traction.

Thanks Rusty. Will have a look at the tables later when I fire up a real computer. Love the information drive in this proxy. Just brilliant.

[TuscoTodd]

Yeah Rusty - I think I was a bit too aggressive in the rate of material removal with the PGT rears and may have hardened them up a bit as I had no chatter issues with them after the initial light truing that got them just small enough to clear the wheel wells - but after the heavy material removal to get them closer to stock size, it developed the chatter. :(
(probably doesn't help that I also started with the harder PGT compound verses the XPG compound either)
Thanks for posting the initial impressions and looking forward to seeing the recording of the run and the results from it! :banana-dance:

Todd, Yeah don't won't to be getting them to hot or taking to much at once. You wouldn't believe how long it takes me to true tires. :D Skim it off with a few breaks in between so they cool. :lol:

[TuscoTodd]

Yeah - definitely a "lesson learned" on that little adventure! :doh:
(I normally only remove the minimal amount of material necessary to get "true" - not notably reduce diameter like I did on these)
But that is part of what has been great about this proxy - lots of interesting things have been shared through both the data and "impressions" reported by the hosts! Some of which, I have already used to help improve my tuning other cars! :handgestures-thumbup:
