Please don´t worry about this rules, stock SCX or Kyosho cars can do it easily. Only the fastest 20 cars from the qualifying will run the race. qualifying times will be posted with the race times.

concours de elegance: the best looking car will be voted by the host and get a special price.

wide open rules again, ladies and gentleman, so build your fastest, smoothest 1/43rd car for this race. just tune a stock car a little and maybe blow the doors off all others, built something that has not been seen before, it´s up to you.
Who will have the fastest car?

First cars arrived soon on the track to check out track conditions. Came directly from Norway, Tilo´s cars are looking awesome in person. The front of the Benz seems to be with suspension :)

Nice looking cars I got mine boxed up yesterday and will be shipping them out tomorrow .
The motors I am using are not afraid of voltage so use whatever makes them perform the best on your track. I run them at 14 volts , but they will handle more.

So now the fun begins. I am really looking forward to seeing the cars and watching the results

Cheers

Hi Peter Glad the cars showed up.

The front wheels seem to be off the track?? Is this is just a brush adjustment to get them lower? On my track the front wheels are touching and rolling so hopefully this is just a simple adjustment for you.

Cheers

i will take of the pre-race setup during the training laps, Dan! ;p
just kidding, only placed them on the track for the photos and check if they are running in the right direction - had that before.
will adjust the brushes to get the front wheels in conact with the track - important for good lap times, i know.
Oh, i found the BARC BITES for the prizes, will add them a little later, thanks again for those!
Also will put those BARC BITES on 3 cars that will be built in the next 3 or 6 month... and on the Centenaire, to get running again.

[BARC 1]

I am hoping the BARC tires will suit the track. Make sure you glue them and true them .
The other thing that is important to me is your driving impression of that motor I am using,and of course how well it does against all the others.
Looks like you got some nice entries starting to roll in. I am looking forward to the race.

Cheers and again thanks for hosting this event

Dan
