2004 World Proxy Race

<<I assume due to no magnets that these cars are allowed to be weighted?>>

Turismo

Yes, you will need weight most of the real good running cars from the ALMS race we had last year.. crossed the scales at 150 grams + I think the heavy weight came in at 174 grams.....

To run well on my track you need weight and you HAVE to have the front wheels touching the track.... the Tripod set up just doesn't work on my track...

The DTM car I have goes 155 grams and the vette goes a bit over 170. and both are fast and very good handling....

With the proxy racing you want a driver friendly car.....

If you are entering and need info on set up for my track give me a shout.... glad to help....

Nice looking track..... good combination of speed and handling...... Yes, you can test on it but as you saw on the routed track you ran your race on the routed tracks are a different world

Are you going to be doing up a scratch built chassis or modifying a RTR??

Scratch build is really the way to go.....

And most of the tuna (fish) tires will work well on the routed track we will be running on......

Is the Supra the new MRRC one?? or one you are going to do up from a model kit??

alway fun seeing and driving your cars......

AS soon as we stated laying out the rules and I knew what bodies we were talking for the class I got started........

Chris.....

Russell

<<what were in for can you tell me are those 90 degree bends chicaned or is that an optical illusion>>

Graham

your eyes are not playing tricks on ya..... yes there is a chicane area (about 3 foot long) between the two truns, Oh yeah and the turns are chicanes too

Chris.........

Graham

the track record is 4.98........ with my CLK, but the best I could in qualifying for the race was 5.0 something... I deleted the info for last year and like a fool didn't save it......

The problem is that with the new var. power supply i have I have the volts set at
13.5.... last years was run with the old battery/charger system and that was turning out 14.9 volts..... Motors run much cooler at 13.5

With the 13.5 I have may cars turning in 5.2 lap times.. with new tires the Vette gave a best of 5.187 But I have already worn the tires out on the car and will have to replace them before the race........

Remember guys the dead line is the 15th of Mar.... so get cracking..... And I will also post this on the site but the entry fee will be raise to 20.00...... the extra money is to cover postage to Victor's track in Calf. and I will send most of the entry fee money to him so he can post the cars back to the owner so they car prep their cars for the Aussy race.....

Graham...... the ferrari looks GREAT.......

Chris.....

Phil you are fast..... you got to this board before me too

I want to congratulate all the guys for sending in some very nice cars... And a special Congrats to Bill Brehm, who finished 1st from the out of town entries... Bill was a first time builder last year and didn't finish all that well..... But in one years time he has really turned things around and put together a very fast, smooth and drver friendly car.....

I also have the consourse results up now........ I as still a bit behind and still need to post some pictures of some of the cars and their chassis..... I will get them up soon........

Nice job guys.......

Chris....
