Made about 10 laps with most of the cars a few minutes ago. Most were fine,

but:
Fred, your car is draging the rails in a few spots, so much the rear tires make very little contact. With your permission, I will remove a little more of the magnet pocket, may not be enough but it can`t hurt ?

Austin, Devon, both you cars are catching the track sections on the front of your guide. The braids are gone on the leading end of both cars. This leaves just the stiff brass tab that held the braid catching some rail joints. It`s not stopping/de-sloting your cars as of now.
Would you like me to put new braids on them?

Dickie, your guide return spring is really stiff, causing the car to pause in the sharper turns. Really don`t know what to do for this.

Arrold and Harry's cars seem very stable and fast just with this short practice run. This was all on a dusty track, so things may differ after the lanes are clean.

Mark, other than removing the spring, not sure you can do anything. And not sure if Austin will allow you to remove the spring, so.....

Run it... :dance:

Mark,
Get the little Ferrari to the front of the pack. I need a win in at least one proxy.

Wow, not sure how I missed this but I love the variety in the field. I think my favorite car is that Morgan! Now I want one of my own to do up in race trim....I wonder what livery I could go with :shhh:

I was thinking the same thing James. How'd I miss this. If you need a Morgan, I have one on the specials page.

You can remove Dickie's spring, Every one is learning this year, Next year it will cost one place in the finishing lineup to make any changes, yes my car too.
