I had a great time too!!!  MAN, what a BIG FAST track!!!!

Everything went very smooth except for the one controller malfunction. I tore the controller down this morning to try to determine the cause. It appears the wiper button was hanging up slightly on the resistor band just before the brake band. I readjusted the resistor position in the frame, and adjusted the wiper to better center the contact button. It is much smoother now and worked fine when bench tested. The next race will tell for sure!

The cars Dave prepared worked flawlessly! Man they were fun, and they made for very close racing! Thanks Dave, you did a great job!!!

The track was absolutely spot on!!! The computer system ran perfectly with NO glitches, and there were NO issues with the track itself!!! Thanks Carl!!!!

A very fun evening indeed! Lots of good close racing, laughs and crashes.  Another Naste grand slam.  Thanks to Dave for the cars, Bill for the controllers and Carl for the track.

What a great night of racing! Thanks so much Dave, Carl, Art, Bill and everyone else who made the track, cars and controllers run so well.

Good dinner, great friends and a super track made for a very nice night! Such fun to race those cars.

Nice picture Bill. Yes, we amateurs seemed to stick close together while we were racing. Unlike you professionals who liked to out run each other on the track. tongue

My pictures are uploading now. Video will be a while. lol I'm getting slow with editing. I did catch some nice moves though and thank you for allowing me behind the counter to get the cars racing on the long straight stretch.

Pictures should be here when they are done uploading.
