Wow, that's brutal! Good luck with the repair. We'll look forward to more pictures. I've broken three of those things - one of them in parade mode.

Enjoyment of the process should be the first order of business. It's the only way it will get finished correctly. That process has never worked well for me since I'm always in a hurry but I understand the benefits.

Now it's starting to make a little more sense. What are you going to do with that big gap in the upper section?

Nice job there. Looks like that rear weight is almost scraping the track.

Looking great. That's an amazing tutorial on track building. I spent yesterday moving 5 yards of mulch.

Topic: In my opinion this is counter-productive (0 replies, posted in BSCC)
All the action going on between heats with folks retrieving their cars and cleaning tires, adjusting braids. My understanding was that we wanted the track to rubber in, not keep it clean for silicone tires. So why do we need to run out, grab our cars and clean the tires. I do it now and then but if the track stays consistent then there really should be no need. And honestly, cleaning my tires between heats never makes a real difference that I can see or feel after about three laps.
But here's the real bottom line in my opinion...
Once again Victoria's car was not moved to the correct lane or failed to get the right sticker on it last night. Not once. Three times. That is almost half her heats. I'd like to think we can do better than that.
I suggest that drivers stay at their stations and the marshal's move the cars. Tires generally don't need to be cleaned between heats. Braids seldom need adjusting.

Topic: How about another team season? (0 replies, posted in BSCC)
I know we have an IROC series planned for the summer season using the Mustangs that Greg is building up but since we have these Slot.It cars pretty well dialed in I thought I'd ask what folks think about having another team season like the one we did with the SCX NASCAR's using the Slot.It's the following season - the one after the Mustangs? I think it would be a good time and provide some exciting results.
I think the 10V non-mag racing is giving us our closest results so far. Speeds are reasonably sane and cars are controllable. You notice we aren't breaking near as many pieces as we did with the Fly's nor having to spend as much time fixing them.
So what'cha think?

Yes, the season has concluded. Next up is the big gala event - the 4 hour Digital Enduro the first Sunday of August that will also be a NASTE planning meeting for next year. We invite all interested parties to join us. It should be just that, a party.

Actually I finished the season two points ahead of Bryan. I was third, he finished 7th. Now had he only showed up for the Enduro... And that really was a thrashing he got in this last race. Those girls were brutal.
