Bob my ralley cars have arrived.

Nice! I have that escort, its a great little car.

Bob

Dang you do!?

Ooww the tension is building as we get ready to challenge the Dragon lol.
Hey Bob what about M/C with sidecars lol that would be cool.

Bob , Shotgun is working on some tires for the S/C Rigs. I hope to have them running up the hill in a few weeks. they don't do real bad as they are, but more traction is in order for some good runs.
cant wait!

Bob

Less than 30 minutes ago, I ran this time with my Dragon car. it took more than the five laps I said I would run the cars, but it is capable of this.

Getting faster , thats a good sign , perhaps the track is rubbering in too.
Bob

What is the car that went 15.3 seconds? Pics please.

I'm thinking about a car for this track........................ :think:

Allan

I think the track is rubbering in some, and I just switched to the new variable power supply also. running at a lower voltage makes smoother runs, and smoother is faster!
Allan, the car I have been tuning on /up is a Carrera Opel GT. Nothing special, just all the little tricks and small things that add up to a good car. I will post a pic of it as soon as I get back out to the shop.
Glad to hear you are considering a turn at the Dragon!

Bob

Those Carrera Opel GT's do very well as proxy cars in the GTU/GT-2 class. I'm chasing 3 of them now with a Porsche 904 in the CanAm proxy; and I can't get by them after 7 rounds.

I'm thinking the wide body Porsche 356 that was posted recently (can't remember the thread). Short wheelbase, wide track, low CoG, high rpms and short gearing all look, to me, like places to go with a hill climb car for your track.................. :think: :think:

I'm going to Google: "Dragonslotslayer 101" and see what I can come up with.............

Allan

Funny you should mention the 356. Shotgun sent me a brass chassis version quite a while back. it is one of the best cars to drive on the hill. its a resin body on one of his chassis. great handler, and fast too. I need to spend more time with that one! but for now, my car of choice is the GT. but the 356 would be a dandy pick I think.
Be mindful of the uphill grade, good traction, and a light front end. I think you know what i mean! :lol:

Bob

..............front end offs and back-flips are my specialty! Ask arroldn about my Yellow #19 NASCAR proxy car.....................

Allan

The scort didnt last long. Shes stripped and ready for the paint booth. Need to go pick up paint tomorrow and get deacals made. Then send her to be ran by bob!

WOW! That didn't take long! :D
With this being open ended, I may have to see about putting together a car to try on here as well! :D

Steve, I cant wait to see what you come up with on that one!

Todd, It would be great to have you make an attempt at the Dragon, this could be a lot of fun.
