Great video. :text-thankyouyellow: So qualified in 6th place. Congratulations to the top five qualifiers. Maybe my car will crack the top five in the race. Just glad to be close. Yes the ThunderSlot car is about the best car out of the box I've ever had. Now had I put zero grips on the front or painted the front tires I wonder where it would be? Pleased 8-) :D

Cool video Rob. I'll say again what an awesome track that is!

The results of today's qualifying correlate very closely with the results SCANC got during Round 3 at Woodland Trace Raceway. Of special note is that the top two cars were both about 2 tenths quicker than the 3rd place car. And the overall finishing order with a few exceptions was also very similar.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I can't wait to see how the racing plays out.

Meanwhile, I'm struggling with my 2020 GT3 car. The cars I've built so far either handle well but are down on power, or are quick enough, but don't quite have the handling. Hopefully, I'll happen upon a happy medium soon.

So - from the other side of the world, thanks for the video and the Q run.... Please to see the #12 there or thereabouts.... ( shame Aloha is so far ahead, but I can live with that...) -

From your video Rob - the Zepmobile is running a slot.it Red motor, not Orange, and we're experimenting with Sideways rear tires.....

Is the track located in a room within your house? I'm gathering supporting evidence...... :D

I keep coming back to look at the track again and again. Just as close to perfect as you can get.

Round #6 is in the books. Congratulations to the podium:
1st drw21
2nd Brumos
3rd Audi1

drw21's car was absolutely hooked up on this track with no side movement at all. Handled the S's and corners at the end of the straights with ease. What some of the other cars made up for in speed drw21 made it all up in every corner. A new track record was set at 6.711 seconds by drw21. Brumos's car was loved by all too as the tremendous speed and almost perfect cornering made for easy laps too. Audi1's car was an great car to drive with great speed and cornering combination. Aloha and Smokeio's cars had tremendous speed but poor breaking and touchy cornering causing them to drop from their great qualifying results.

All cars were a pleasure to drive and most were solid runners you all should be proud of.

My easy to drive car continues to pay off. Now I just need fast AND easy to drive.

Thanks for the expedient work, this has been my favorite stop in the tour thus far!

Congrats to the guys who continue to dominate the front of this proxy!

Congratulations Dave on your win and Allan on your Podium. Also Arroldn and CourtneyS, those cars keep getting better each race. And Wannabgts, that car of yours is extremely consistent. Rob, thank you and your team for running the round as quickly as you did plus the report out.

Rob,
What can I say? I am humbled to be in the top five. Beating out some of the best proxy builders. Hats off to the group of 4 in front of me and our podium finishers. Now how did that Audi1 fellow creep up into the top 5. Congratulations Allan. Now what on earth happen to Aloha and Smokeio? Must have just been in the stars for the #21 this time. Brumos thanks for the cudos.

Allan lets take these Lolas to those McLarens.

Thanks again Rob and crew for a great race.
