Next up will be Derby City Speedway

Fred you can't tell me that I bet you on your home track. Top three cars seam to be very evenly matched

If you have any avise for the slower cars I am sure they would love it.

Thanks for hosting this race and hope you would like to next year

Yeah, I ran all the cars for just a few laps, just to make sure all were running OK, and that's all the time I needed to see your car was just a bit better handling than mine, my track has alot of big fast corners, and I think your longer wheelbase helped out there, I'm always surprised how well those MC12s run, as big as they are.

As far as the cars that didn't do so well, I would have to say the biggest issue is tire prep, as some were pretty loose, and had a bit of chatter, which usually means tires weren't glued,or glue job gave up, and/or not trued perfectly, with all stock motors, there wasn't much difference in speed, though some could use a little lower gear for better brakes, I'm sorry we just didn't think to write down any observations of each car though.

one and only plastic surface of this race.


I hope to find more plastic tracks for next year, the gold would be to have three wood tracks and three plastic tracks

I am thinking the black cars will do great at the next track

First, Fred, thank you for running the cars for this round. I am so excited, with one one race to go, I am looking at a clean sweep of last place! I know my tire tuning skills were my demise and I have been working to overcome that problem, so look out next year! But, I will be interested to see if preparing my car on a plastic track will make any difference in this last race. Austin, I will be happy to host a round next year with my painted Carrera track.
