Newest molds are done!

The second work day on the Gravity Racer went well. Dennis started off the day by feeding us some excellent BBQ hamburgers! After we were all full we went to work. Since the last work day dennis had completed and installed the nose section, rear bulkhead and set back, as well as the rear tail section. Work is progressing well and we are on schedule!

Team Leader/Crew Chief/Driver: Dennis Hart & Team Engineer: Evil Jimmy Jones

Last night Goose scored his 74th Odd Thursday Night win! With Rico's two wins last night, and Chris' win in the new Le Mans class, Rico and Chris are tied for second in Odd Thursday Night wins with 41. And for extreme consistancy, Bryan Dickerson placed fourth in all three of the races he entered last night!

Thanks for coming out to race guys. I had a lot of fun! We did have a good turn out with 15 racers to start the night. We still had 10 racers in the BRM race which started after 9:00pm!

The new LeMans Class was a big hit. The racing was very close with finishes like we are seeing in the ever popular Trans Am Class. We tried something new in the Over 50 Class. We used IROC style controllers with one old style Cox thumb plunger controller at each driver's station. One of the controllers was one for hotter motors and had a lower resistance resistor in it. That one was a little touchie, but the other two were pretty similar. The controllers made the racing "interesting" to say the least, not to mention making the race a true over 50 year old event. On a side note, two racers were disqualified for not meeting the "official" over 50 rule. Both racers were under 50 years of age.................Just kidding, we didn't disqualify them, we just made them race in diapers!......OK, just kidding there too..........
