I found a gap this afternoon and took out the cars from their packaging. After a bit of a looksee I gave them a run over twenty laps to get an impression....some bright cars there.

#4 Porche, Audi 1, 6.375secs, smooth
#99 Camaro, Jmac, 5.742secs, fast smooth, handles great
#57 Alfa, Alexis IG, 6.638secs, doesn't like a certain corner
#21 Camaro, George Gillman, 6.246secs, planted
#1 Mustang, unknown, 6.158secs, lots of body rock, touches track on one corner
#53 Dodge Challenger, Aroldn, 6.414 secs, guide is floppy

I put the cars through their paces earlier in the week but have only now found the time to put the results together.
I did spend some time driving all the cars before racing them...they all are good drivers but the balance, speed, smoothness and predictability of a few sets them apart from others.


1st place DRW21, Camaro, #48, 59.4 laps
2nd JMac, Camaro, #99, 58.2 laps
3rd Audi 1, Camaro, #87, 57.8 laps
4th George Gillman, Camaro,55.1 laps, best time 6.105
5th AroldN, Plymouth, #42, 55.1laps, best time 6.279
6th Audi 1, Porche, #4, 54.7 laps
7th unknown, Mustang, #1, 51.4 laps
8th AroldN, Dodge, #53, 51.2 laps
9th Peter Gunn, Camaro. #111, 49.9 laps
10th Alexis IG, Alfa, 48.6 laps
11th Vanger, BMW,48.3 laps
12th Gas4it, Plymouth, #04, 47.9 laps

And the car I want to keep is the silver 911 of Audi1. It was a giant killer on my track.

Thanks for posting the results, John.

Congratulations to Dave and JMac for their finishes and to all the other podiumites!

Glad the little 911 held it's own on your track.
