Home Racing World

All,

Race has been scheduled for Saturday, January 26th. I will be unboxing and running the qualifying session this coming Saturday.

Stay tuned.

Mark

That track looks great
Good luck to all

Hi Mark,

Agree, nice track! Any update on the qualy results?

Allan

Hello All,

Sorry for being quiet...I actually just finished with the quals! Got busy last weekend and didn't get around to them. Will compile results and comments tomorrow during the day, and will post tomorrow evening. These cars look and drive great, and we should have a good race next weekend.

For the most part, no shipping damage occurred. The packaging for these cars is pretty stout! Very efficient packaging that keeps the cars secure at the same time.

Mark

Thanks for posting the results and the video on YouTube!

Congrats to Chris (chrisguyw) on his TQ with that super-smooth inline 'Vette!

We'll be looking forward to tomorrow's race!

Allan

Mark,
Thanks for getting both of my cars in the top 10 in qualifying. As for the #1 when it gets back I think it can stand a little bit more lowering of the body on the 3D chassis. Hoping both race well and maybe get another podium. Have fun.

Mark, thank you for the qualifying run. Good luck to all the builders

Any race results yet? I'm not sure if you were able to stay with your target race day of the 26th with the qualy on the 25th.

Hi All,

Race was ran on the 26th, and it was as expected at the top based on qualifying. We had 5 folks attend the event, and 4 were full-time drivers that stayed on their respective lane for the entire race while the 5th performed track-call duties for offs.

Congrats to the podium below:

1ST - #2
2ND - #66
3RD - #8

The top three finished with barely over a lap from each other - very close racing and were a blast to drive. I did make a mistake in regards to the race run time. Some reason I thought a 2 minute heat was the required run time, and I just now realized that it should have been 3 minute heats per lane. I apologize if this causes any issues. We'll make sure to run the following round at Tony's (45mins away) at 3 minutes.

Here are the total results with lane lap counts along with final heat partial lap (in tenths) for each car.

Thank you for allowing us to race these wonderful cars. Onto Round #6 in a couple of weeks!

Mark

Mark,
Hats off to you and all who helped in running this segment.

Wouldn't 61.3 laps put my car ahead of the car with 61.2. As is shown with cars with 58-53 laps. Car with more tenths is listed first. Just asking. UM my #1 didn't do to well.

Congratulations to the podium finishers. Trying to get there.

Arrold

Thanks for running Round #5 for us, Mark! Hope you had fun racing these cars.

Congrats to Chris (chrisguyw), Dennis (gascarnut) and Dave (drw21) on their podium finishes! :text-bravo:

No problem with the 2 minute heats; as long as all cars were raced for the same amount of time, we're good. Three minutes per heat is our standard race format for this series.

Looking forward to Round #6 at Tony's track...……

Allan

Thanks Todd!

Wow - after 5 Rounds we have a dead heat for first place - that’s close racing!
