American Thunder at Nashville SuperSpeedway

[arroldn]

Qualifying is in the books.

Steve your #28 DNQ. The rear bearing are loose causing the body to rest on the tires. Would you like me to glue it up? Also your #88 is cocked so far to the left. Is this by design? The left side of the body is almost touching my setup block by the left rear wheel. I was shocked when I saw how much it leaned, knowing your skills.

B Taylor your #11 and Tom's #48 both are missing the right side rear screw is this by design? If so B Taylor it makes the car very twitchy but the car has good acceleration.

GameOver #3 your left wheel came off in warm up laps. Pushed back on and I couldn't pull it off so hopefully it will stay on during race. If it comes off I will add a little super glue and run your race over.

I noticed when I sorted my segment for race two it also re-sorted race 1 and oval positions. Since I don't use Excel that often maybe someone can correct overall and race 1. I'll play with it and see if I can correct it.

OK fellows half the field has completed the 80 lap main event. So far your leader is Clem car #21 with a time of 4.34.42 mins fast lap of 3.36 secs. Bringing up the rear of the first 10 cars is Frank car # 31 with a time of 5.26.95 mins fast lap of 3.80 secs.

Repairs: HRW #99 lost front screw with 11 laps to go, Mike #12 glued left rear wheel on. Will run yours tomorrow. Steve #28 glued left rear wheel on. Put a spacer under the left side rear screw. This raised the body off of the tire enough to run, but it still rubs in the turns. I can get my dremel out and radius the wheel well and re-run it. Your call.

Will finish with the next 10 tomorrow.

Great to see these babies making laps!
Thanks for the update! :)

I really rushed this build, and just wanted to get the Artins back on the road... It was more about the decals for me on this one. However, I don't remember it being too loud or having that big of a vibration, so may be some damage in the transmission...

Great job reporting so far!

Let's go Clem!

I beleive tusco is next and they finish at btaylors.

We were supposed to get them in NEPA at some point as well

Well my # 40 came in 2nd place to the #21. Both cars turned 80 laps in a time of 4.34.41 mins but he beat me with a fast lap of 3.36 secs to my 3.37 secs. If these were real cars it might have been by the space of a bumper. Closest finish I've had since I have been hosting proxies. The 3rd place car #44 was clocked at 4.36.48 with a fast lap of 3.33 secs

I will update with the full race results tomorrow.

The #44 Coast Guard car could have come in as your winner if it didn't do the bunny hop. I was surprised when I looked at the lap timer to see it was running as fast as it did bouncing all over the place. I had to glue both rear wheels on as they came off mid race which was restarted twice.

3 other cars had the left rear wheel come off. Guess in the future if we run these you may want to glue your rear wheels on.
