OK, OK, you can have credit for the awesome quote, but I think you'll have to wrestle Jenny for that #1 plate! I'm pretty sure she wants it on "her" car!
Just had to post this recent communication from Scuderia Kouba Driver Jenny Burns (winner of Formula 8 Division in the 2017 Derby):
"Jenny Burns
Aka: fastest chick on the hill. “We upped our game, so up yours!”
Scuderia Kouba successfully completed registration for 3 entries this year! Watch for the return of the 2017 winning car the MKI, running number 1 this year. Last year's Formula 8 winner will return as the number 8 car, and the newest Scuderia Kouba car the MKV will display the number 36.
Rich Vecchio's Electron Raceway is located in Roseburg Oregon. For more info on their racing program check out all the info here:

I think I picked mine up from Al, but I'm not sure where it went after that.................
I have one Doc............somewhere..............
A new entry from one of Rapid Raceway's newest racers, Colin Ivey.
Thanks for stopping by Doc, it was good to see you!
Shop update - Yes the shop is pretty much done. Yesterday I started moving some junk out of our storage unit and into the shop. I have to make a huge mess to get all my junk sorted out and redistributed into the shed (after it is moved into its final location), and into the garage (after it is emptied out, and I finish some shelving and painting inside). I'm pretty sure I have enough junk to fully occupy the shop and attic!
Track plans are still up in the air. As most of you know I still have my routed HO track we used to race on years ago. Chris Kouba has also volunteered to let me set up his small track. I have also been thinking alot about a return to a 1/24 track. I think a 1/24 track would give me more flexibility as far as the types of cars I could run. At this point I am not sure what type of program I would run up here or how much participation I can expect. I know there were quite a few 1/24 racers up here years ago. The question would be; where have they gone?

Ohhhhh............that makes sense.........
Jake and Amy had the same lap count. I accidentally listed Jake's lap count incorrectly. I corrected the error, they each had 59.2 laps in the Classic Sports Car Div.II race.

I agree with Chris on the classes that should be scheduled for the point series championship. I think they should be classes that have been established and raced for at least one full season of non-point races. As Chris said this allows racers time to acquire a car and get it dialed in. This makes for closer and more competitive racing. The point series races should be used to determine who the best drivers, tuners and builders are. They are not the races that should be used for car development and "practice". The point series races not only determine the best drivers, but determine who has come up with the best setups and the best builds as evidenced by durability and consistency. That is not to say some development and "tweaking" does not take place during the point series, but the preliminary "bugs" should be sorted out by the time the point races start.

It bugs me that I can't remember, I'm sure we didn't run the same cars every two weeks. I think each week we ran one of the classes then Bill ran an IROC race. I'm sure someone else remembers.
Mitch, I looked back and the first NASTE Odd Thursday Night race you attended was on November 7, 2013. At that time it looks like we were racing the Classic Sports Car and GT classes at each race. After those two classes were raced we finished off the evening with a BRM 1/24 IROC race which Chris Kouba started for the NASTE racers. If you're wondering, you finished 6th and 1st in the first two races. I have a feeling you lost your magnet privileges in that second race!
I agree with Doc, and I agree with Chris on limiting the number of classes raced for the point series championship.
That is the same type of results I saw from rewinding motor armatures years ago. Performance of motors was not linear in regards to applied voltage. An armature wound with X feet of #Y wire at Z number of turns per pole may have resulted in 20k RPM at 12 volts. Another armature wound with a heavier or lighter wire at different feet and turns may delivery the same RPM or very close to the same RPM at the same voltage. However when you lower or raise the voltage, each of the two different armature wind's RPM may vary greatly. Available current (amps) also contributes to the final RPM output and can also vary greatly depending on the wind. Some motor brands may run close to their maximum RPM at slightly lower voltages, some may drop off more.
Using a "Spec" voltage versus specific motors may be a good alternative. It would take some testing. Lowering the voltage may even close the performance gap between some of the different motors. My experience in testing motors has never shown a linear performance change with varying voltages applied. For example, just because a motor is rated at 18,000 RPM at 14 volts doesn't necessarily mean it is going to deliver 9,000 RPM at 7 volts. From my observations anyway.
