We are going to take the same approach to track prep as we did with Wayne's track. Voltage will be set to 10 volts.

Since these cars shipped out East I no longer read these post's, no idea what this is all about and don't care!
Football, baseball, good beer, great Universities and fast slot cars, what's in the water out that way? I am testing car #70 for steroids when it comes back this way!! He who laughs last.......
Thanks for qualifying...NOT!

Hi Smokeio
Thanks for all your efforts over past few weeks! As a newbie to this very challenging sport and the challenge that my Ferrari 512BB has presented to the drivers, I am really enjoying the proxy races.
Cheers

First 11 cars separated by <0.2 seconds: what an incredibly competitive proxy this is! At times I have despaired about doing ever doing really well in this proxy but I have made my peace. I have come to the conclusion that finishing in the top 10 in a series like this is reward enough for me. Just to compete against this class of field is a treat.
Thanks for the Q and the video guys: always fun watching!

I could not agree more with your thoughts.
Sir Smokeio great job as usual and please extend our appreciation to the host and we still appreciate the Marlboro Man.
I am nervous to see such an aggressive squeeze so it will be interesting (scary is what i really mean) to watch

Once in a great while there is a crash in that squeeze. It also has a bit of a hump. A car that comes out of the slot there may catch the braid from the next lane and try to run backwards.
