Actually, that is the same lane in two different directions.  So those cars would never be that close.  Bill's idea of a barrier has merit except it could still be one of the other two cars colliding with the car in the blue lane.  I want to try filling the gaps first with some more magna-braid.  That would fill the gap as well as eliminate the unintentional dead strips.

And yes, the results were quite close for a first race.  Kinda fun wasn't it.

Great idea, seems unlikely.  We need to reduce the ability of the cars to float.  I have some ideas!

Thanks for coming.  I think we all have cars to work on.  But at least it's not broken parts, just bad decisions that need correcting.  And tires that need testing.

It will be fun to compare the different cars and see how they go.  Looking forward to it!

I've got three cars set up.  No two alike.  Though I was able to get the NSR tires on two of them.

Nope.

Ok, that's two of us.  Sound like a team of 4-6 would be idea.  Anyone else?

That sounds like fun Dave.  Where is Red Devil?

Uh, Rico...  er, uh, hmmmm.

Timba, Frank and I did a little testing yesterday and from what we saw, the Scalextric standard, Fly black stripe and Slot.It orange were all reasonably competitive on the track based on runnng at 10.5 Volts.  And since we allow you to run any gear ratio you like, that should solve the speed issues between the different motors if there really are any.

I can show you the specs and here they are courtesy of the Slot Car News Motor List.

I've looked and I'm not sure what those would be.  It's a narrow range.  We could always switch to the orange end bell.

Howdy Ted.  Try checking with SkunkWorx - he might have a few ideas.

Since we go to great lengths to lay down a nice rubbered surface on the track, the Silicone's would just lift it up.  So here, we try to avoid them.  I'm trying to arrange for tires so no one will have to buy anything.
