Results are in! Each heat was 3 minutes this time (instead of the 2minutes on my track), and the same drivers stayed on the lane as the cars rotated.
Podium:
1st: #8
2nd: #66
3rd: #63

Congrats to the podiumites - these cars are a blast to drive, especially the top grouping. There were cars that drove better and felt right at home on this track compared to my track, and all we could think of is the slightly different track surface is allowing more cars to grip. This track is finished with flat latex, but it was brushed on instead of rolled with a foam roller. It may not make a diddly difference, but there sure were closer racing in this round than the previous.

#62 had a lead wire come off with about a minute left, therefore it lost roughly 6 laps from its total. I've re-installed the wire and it is good to go. The pink #23's gears are wearing down. Honestly not sure how much longer it will last - I'm not sure what the rules are in regards to repairs, but this one needs a close eye on for the next round.
The cars are boxed up and ready to ship to Butch for the next round. I was planning on shipping the package over the weekend, but we picked up our new puppy and I could not get away all weekend. Cars will ship when I'm back in town this coming Wednesday. Thanks again, folks, for allowing us to race your cars!
