I get what you're saying BR that it differs when scaled.. I'm probably connecting dots that aren't there but it does seem to fit a pattern. 90,180,270,360. So far the only theory is that that is just how it is because that's the way it's always been. There's no rhyme or reason to having 27.1...

It just dawned on me that 3/4 a circle is 270,-microscaled to 27 for PWD?- hmmm, might be onto something here..

Maybe that extra .1 degree made the past goal of a sub 3 slightly easier for the newcomer?

So 27.1 degrees is the gold standard for the hill slope. Anyone aware who or why that degree was chosen? what's up with the .1? Why not round it to a simple 27?

By slow do you mean .02 slower than the fastest SS time at the moment?(2.9226)((dang, that's fast-congrats Bullet!!)) If Kinsers test results are also roughly .02 slower, I think it's safe to say Mo-Deck is a bust for big dog style racing but still fast enough for a local race unless da jig is...

+1

Congrats and nice "timing", too- 1985 and 2015 are both significant years for the BTTF trilogy.

GD one!!

Any updates on the blue spheres- Performance wise did the surrounding cars scrub speed when running next to the spheres?

16-25 bracket? wasn't aware of the change but the idea of a larger field sounds cool. Well, glad to see it all work out.

The faster car will always win I agree with but what was meant was, since only the top 15 builders in each class advance, WK would then be #15 in SS and will be able to race finals.

looking at the MOTM standings, it must be said, please let WK' car (16th) race SS pro at the big race instead of Corvids car(13th)- WK had 1 bad month and just barely missed the top 15 yet Corvid barely made it.. Only seems fair.. Besides, WK was ranked #1 a few months ago and it's only a matter...

Huge thanks for the support! Corvids a lot like an outdoor cat, might disappear for lengths at a time for various reasons but there's a good chance of an eventual return unless a coyote or bobcat eats him.

I talked to Corvid- as a way to say thank you for all the good times and speed tips, he wants to share a spray he tested and used that he feels may have a place in this hobby. It's called "Mo-deck" and can be found at a John Deere supplier- he claims it was just as fast as jig(for him) and...
