The cars arrived today. Thanks Bob

I'll get them qualified this week and try to get some drivers and turn marshals lined up for this weekend.

[Pappy]

Did a little shake down this afternoon. The fastest car was #70 with a 6.802 second lap. The second fastest was #241 with a 6.854. They were the only two that got into the 6.8's, but a couple of others got into the 6.9's but I don't remember which ones they were. My car only did a 7.200. The #6 and #87 would pop out of the slot when you accelerated real fast. The #7 car you couldn't hardly keep in the slot. The front tires are out of round and the bushings have a whole lot of slop in them. I checked for a bent axle but it looks OK, kinda hard to tell with all the slop in the bushings.

I'll try to do the official qualifying tomorrow.

[Pappy]

I didn't do a timed qualifying run or a total lap qualifying run. What I did was just keeping running the car until I was convinced it wouldn't go any faster. I'm posting the official time first and the back-up lap second. Only the first lap time counts for anything.

The car number is the official number designated to the car, not necessarily the number on the body. If you see anything that doesn't look right or might be a typo let me know.

Round #2 was run yesterday. I could only get two other drivers so we ran four minutes on each of three lanes. Everything went pretty good with no problems with the cars other than the problems they arrived with. :lol: My track was divided up into 16 sections for scoring purposes. I will post best lap times when time allows. I will try to get some pictures posted but will need to put my old computer on line. I switched to a Mac Mini and I don't know how to do anything with it other than get onto the net.

If anything doesn't look right just let me know

I took the .14 to be 14 segments not .14 laps when I put the info into the spreadsheet below...
If that is incorrect - let me know.
Thanks!

Hi Todd,

It's 95 laps and 14 sections. My track has 16 sections so it was almost 96 laps.
