You can only hope the taste of victory is as sweet!

Yes, that would be an acceptable, low calorie, alternative. The team will provide it's own champagne.

Hello from Elra Park.

I´ve been busy due to real life affairs , but finally teams arrived yesterday at the circuit.

There´s a comunication breakdown whith DMS Racing and has no car chosen.
After discusing, Race Direction agree that taking out of the race the team was not a good solution, perhaps the team it´s on travel somewhere whithout wi fi or ansomething else was happened. So the dice gods will decide, after a dice throw the race entries are:

The Oregon Donors-#99
T-county Lug Nuts-#45
Downundathunda-#42
Slothead racing-#29
DMS racing-#48
CAT racing -#24
D&D Motors-#9
Racing Bandit- #88

Being the cars unused for some time, teams found that put it at race condition was a more time consuming affair than expected, so teams asked for a little time to tune the car properly, so qualifying was delaying, it will be done as soon as possible during the week end so we ask spectators and fans to have a little patience.

Some teams know the track well, because are taking part at the SRS Series, for the ones that never race here just say Elra Park it´s a small 2 lanes circuit, classic Scaley track (some , more than 40 years old) so it´s quite narrow and bumpy somewhere.
Both lanes aren´t equal but due to use some R1 curves that means you must brake hard on inner lane, times are quite similar on each lane, has also an operating pit box entrance and Carrera lap timer.
Scenery it´s removable so the track it´s stored behind a closet unseen when not in use (sometimes the studio it´s used for other things).
Put the track ready to use it´s about ten minutes.
Althought being a modest track a lot of fun action was there during last years!

The classic Scaley look. Nice track, gonna be some fun for sure.

Good luck to all.

The girls are looking forward to running a short track. It will especially help Carli my party girl keep focused. :lol:

C'mon Donors! Slap some plastic!

[dw5555]

That's my girl Carli sometimes she gets it right. ...Wohoo :banana-dance: Simone is a little jealous though because of all the attn Carli is getting. Simone's been in the spotlight for so long she doesn't take it too well when she's outshined by what she calls "A second rate driving bimbo". :angry-tappingfoot: A little team competition is always good. :whistle:

Equal 3rd and down a lap, the team are not overly concerned with this disappointing effort, but expected more from the #42 Dodge.
Hoping for an improved effort in the next run

[vonsirius]

Please, note than the race isn't over, it"s a 4 parts report, still 3 parts to come! :music-rockout:

[TuscoTodd]

The boys are still scratching their heads a bit after tackling the electric gremlin...
The driver seems convinced that somehow the crew swapped out the disk brakes for drums - but the crew chief has been steadfast that the car just isn't getting hooked up strong with the track and that is why the driver just can't get any stopping power.
The work in the garage continues... hopefully the crew will discover something prior to round two!
:banana-dance:

[slothead]

During this break we've had a chance to talk with our driver and sharpen our focus. If we can keep our driver's mind off the ladies we might just be able to improve our standing. This format seems to suit us quite well and we're looking forward to the racing yet to come.
