Great to see you playing with slot cars again. I hope this means your troubles are now behind you.
I was in a bit of a panic when I looked at the times posted above, wondering why my cars seemed so much slower than before.
Then I noticed that my 65b was actually faster than the car above, and realized the times were not in order. Whew! If I read the result correctly, my cars actually did well.
Thanks for running them Bob.
Cheers,
Keith

Looks like it was a good day for those Chaparral 2E's. Bob must have set those rear wing angles correctly.
Good show, Bob.

Sorry about the order guy's. I just run em, and let the PC gurus sort them out! :lol:
One of these days I will learn the program on the race system.

Bob! Good to see you, bud. I think all of us are getting healthy. I'm much better, Dave is getting better, a couple of my friends in Canada are better, and another friend has gotten a report that the tumor removed from him is benign, no danger. Its a great day.

Hi Bob, Thanks for running the final round!!, and congrats to those on the podium :text-bravo:
Was there a problem that you noticed with the 60 car??...........after winning the last 5 rounds, it finished 18th (2nd last) in this round, and its best lap time was 1.5 seconds off the top cars........would be interested in your comments.
Cheers

Your track was the last in the series - if you want to go ahead and send them back to me, I will get them headed back to their respective homes. :)
Thanks again!

Congrats to everyone and thanks for this round Bob!
What a fun proxy this has been!
I'm ready for the next one (well, planning my car in my head....the next one...)- but can we push the date to maybe......1977? Just thinking ahead a little :whistle: :whistle: :auto-driving:

Great job running this round and Congratulations Bob, I think you moved me out of 3rd and into 4th with the run you had giving you the overall podium. This was a fun proxy and I hope all the builders enjoyed it as much as I did. Todd, thanks for the updates to the spreadsheet, and all the hosts.
