The cars were driven hard but not "balls out." There were some deslots but no crashes. A very enjoyable group of vehicles indeed.
Now I need to find the time to run each car for six minutes. This will be done over a couple of days as my time allows. Race temperatures here will be in the mid to high teens celcius.
More later
Regards
John
PS anyone wanting me to glue tires or check anything then feel free to let me know. Shotgun Dave...the VW is riding high at the front like it has had a fast frontal crash. The guide is pointing down and the front wheels are off the track....it could be tweaked or left alone.
