Bob - I like that shirt button idea! That beats hunting through all of the different plastic / rubber washers at the hardware trying to find something the right size. :)

Fumey - I played with a fixed guide on my Spec Drag car as it normally wants to walk the rear to the left out of the hole... I tried locking the guide down and it kept it relatively straight off the line - but induced a bit of side to side rock and wheel hop and definitely slowed the car down. Not sure if that would be the case across the board - just my experience. :)

Very happy to see this! The shine was definitely off the apple for Bruce and myself, doing the land speed record thing, but I'm very glad to see that it's not dead. :)

Would love to see you do that again! I'll bet there are others too.

Will the drag cars running wheelie bars be adjusted from track to track? A fast car with the bars set up for flush braid or copper tape is going to have problems at launch and at speed with recessed braid. A car set up for recessed braids that is going to a track with flush braid or tape will have no traction at launch or at speed
The reason I ask tis is because as Mark said, These things will do all kinds of crazy thing when running at full speed

not here John, I will be treating this as any other proxy, what shows up is what gets run, unless a wheel falls off, there will be no "tuning" for speed...so I would say build safe to run at any conditions.
