Wow! Congrats guys on some great times!
Sorry to hear mine died Dave, it was a used parts box motor. How bout just save the postage and keep it there. You might fix it and run it with your other cars.
Thanks for the effort though!
Bob

Looks like a pretty sporty field! :D
Thanks for the update Dave! Do you want me to set up a Google Docs spreadsheet for these? If so - let me know.
In the mean time - looking forward to the broadcast! :D

Dave, if you are willing and have a parts box motor you can use, can you fix it for Bob. It won't happen for tonight, but I have no problem with you fixing it and running its own heats between now and the time you send the cars on. If not, the cars go to Bob next, just put it back in and Bob can fix it before he does his race. A DNS or DNF is only one point away from the slowest car and since we are just starting, we should try to keep his car in the mix, eh? I guess maybe there was a forgotten reason why that motor ended up in the parts box, eh?

Todd, I was going to do the spreadsheet, but if you want to, I won't object. I was planning to use a leaderboard, so first place gets 1 point, 2nd gets 2 etc. DNS or DNFs get one more point than the slowest car. Lowest final total score wins.

I'm off to racing in a few minutes so will miss the Ustream, but i will check in later to see how it went.

Have fun with the cars, Dave.

Cheers,

Keith

Keith - If you already have a spreadsheet - that would be sweet! I was just throwing out the offer if no one had a template, etc since I saved a "dummy" one to make them like in the VNFR format. :)

Look forward to hopefully being able to catch some live racing action later tonight! :D

[TuscoTodd]

Dave - I won't be able to watch at that time as I will be racing with gonegonzo tomorrow afternoon - so I will just have to live vicariously through the post race summary impressions and pics. :)
Have fun with them! :D

Well I'll be....who would have thought the old bucket of bolts had it in her?

[HomeRacingWorld]

[Gameover]

Congrats Dave nice job!!

[btaylor]

Great Job Dave! Didn't make the U-stream, was busy as heck today. But thanks for the run!
Hope my POS Will get a decent driver impression as it went up in smoke! Maybe i'll get points for looking good on the curb.

Good run folks!!!

Watched a little...I only have 4G...Sorry about the noisey 84...I cast the front tires from resin to see how it would work......
Don't think I'll do that a whole lot more. At least my cast resin wheels didn't fall off.

Great job Dave and congrats on winning. Woohoo! A podium finish for the black coupe. The little red coupe did well in the first round, I think, though I missed it, but came off the rails a bit in the second. Thanks for running the first round, and now the cars go off to Bob Taylor.

Did you think you can fix and run Bob's car before you send it, or are you just going to send it as is and let him fix it before his round?

I have updated my spread sheet and will try to attach it here.

Cheers,

Keith

Hope they proved to be a fun & entertaining field! :banana-dance:

Dave - thank you for hosting and providing the pics to go with the impressions!
I always enjoy hearing / seeing feedback on the cool creations our forum members come up with for proxy entries - DEFINITELY a lot of creativity here!
Definitely looking forward to when the field makes it's way here to Ohio! :D
