Does it really run better without the spring? Hmmm, if so, I just learned something today! :D

Did anybody else remove their springs? :geek:

I have a spring collection you are welcome to. :)

I was thinking about using a couple of those springs off of the X-Bows for overloads on my scooter. :mrgreen:

A look at this years rules

As of this years rules the springs should not be removed, As of rule 3. We have now learned that removing the springs hopes the proformance of the cars so it will be added to next years rules that you can remove them.

PS yes you can run the Xbox without the spring this race.

I really want to thank Austin for putting this proxy together. I also want to thank each of the track owners and all of the drivers for their facilities and time. This was my first proxy race. I had no expectations of winning, though I did harbor the illusion until the first race results were posted. I wanted to learn about building a car that goes fast and how I compared to other builders. That I have a lot to learn is obvious, but that is the best part. As I learn more about working with these little cars the hobby will only grow richer for me. My only regret (though it can't be helped) is that I didn't get to see how all the cars handled on the track. So, to everyone, thanks again and I will be back for more!

Great job, all you tuners! All of these were fun to drive, and very nice cars. Standouts were definitely Fred Fries' Ferrari, Harry's Corvette, and Austin's Maserati. I don't think anybody would have ever guessed that the Maserati (as big as a Superbird) would be at the top of the pile, but these three cars were really great. Fred's was nice and quick, Harry's was smooth, and Austin's was just...fast. Honorable mention for me was Dickie's X-bow, which was just smooth and fun to toss around. And when we were done tossing it around the basement, it wasn't half bad on the track!

Really enjoyed it, thanks for having us over to drive the cars, Mark. :)

Harry,
I think you made the same mistake I did when reading the results. The last column is not finishing order. You Whipped me 159/154. I'm tied for 5th you're in 3rd. Little Ferrari didn't do to well in the race as it did in the shake down run. Thanks Mark and all the guys from Derby City.

[HomeRacingWorld]

OH...thanks!

I'll take what I can get :)

[Austin]

I hope all the car owners had a great time and will enter in the next race. Thanks to all the track owners for hosting and shipping the cars.
