I'm confident that's the last time I see my car out front!!! But that's some great pictures, for certain. This was such a good idea, Mark. Thanks.

Oh yeah, what a way to come back from a road trip.

What a fantastic field of iron!

Zowie ! Thanks for the race and congrats to all ! While its still fresh , any suggestions as to what the No. 9 Impala needed to be a bit more competitive ? Again , thanks for the race and the awesome idea - even with last place , I still love that car ... :dance:

Fumey,
your car is very well ballanced and quick, you also had a rear tire that is twice the width of any other car. The tire also seemed hard in comparison to the other narrow tires. I assume by looking through the bottom of your chassis you have the H&R Jack Rabbit motor, it really has some revs. traction was the big issue, I think if you had a softer narrow tire that would have helped alot, but with the revs the motor has ( one of the things I need to think about for next time) that may have just made for more offs with the extra speed. As it stands at this track with these cars, if you had a soft tire, a mild motor, and a smooth running drivetrain, it was fast. "enough" This could very well be totally different at the next three tracks of wood. We`ll just have to see.

"The tire also seemed hard in comparison to the other narrow tires"

let me put that differently, your tire didn`t have as tall a sidewall as others, which gives the tire a little more of a soft feel on the track.

THERE it is! I got it this time.

This looks like its going to speed up a lot in the next few weeks. That's just right. Fun! Fun! Fun!

Wow! My car did much better than I ever would have guessed.

[HomeRacingWorld]

Hey, they all are great. I am surprise I finished and no DNF :)

And wouldn't you know the big Furry Zipper didn't do too bad.

Great stuff, look forward to the next round.

Thanks Mark for a GREAT idea for a proxy.
