I have a 42' foot 3 lane aluminum Besttrack for sale with a Derby Magic timer, Grand Prix Race Manager Software, and includes a Panasonic Toughbook laptop computer, and other items needed to run a race. The track is located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It is in very good condition and has been used...

The wheels are DD4H Mid-America. The air guides are from Derby Evolution. I think the problem was that the axle bend caused the inside of the wheel to rub the air guide at the bottom outer edge. I ended up using a dremel to shave down the guide and had to glue two derlin washers together so the...

Yes, it’s for Mid America . My guess is the outer edge of the guide is touching the inside of the wheel where I can’t see it. If I move the axle out a bit it works fine but has a bigger gap than I like.

I have an air guide catching the DFW when I push the wheel in on the bent axle. The only way the wheel spins free if I set the wheel gap wider. It seems to steer without a wobble with a wider gap. Would you suggest sanding the outside of the guide to try and get a closer gap? Or, is it fine...

I have a bottle of Hater Sauce. I don’t think they sell it anymore but, I was wondering if it’s safe to leave in the open air?

I purchased a plug a play block in a kit and it’s a little over 5 inches in a four foot roll.

Spray coats of primer until you no longer can see the wood grain. Testors Extreme Laquer spray paint sold at about any hobby store works great on wood and dries fast.

Use the Dynasty BASX wheels cut to 1.80 to meet these rules. If they aren’t measuring the wheels with calipers during check in, people are going to break the rules.

I included a paid return shipping label for the car and an additional check for $15. I figured that would cover a medium USPS flat rate box.

What’s the mailing address to send a car if racing proxy? Do we just put a return shipping label inside the box?

I won that race back in 2015. You will need a lot of steer towards the rail and move some weight slightly forward to add stability. A longer wheelbase and 93 axles for strength. Protect your wheels with fenders as other cars can fly off the track and into your lane. Build a strong car for...

How do you keep the air shields from rubbing the wheels and slowing the car?

Does anybody use the model airplane Monocote to wrap the body?

My son and I are thinking about building a new scout oil car for the Mid America race for the first time. I would like a complete list of the best of everything needed to build a top performing car. Body, wheels, weight, polishes,fenders, air guides, lubricant, axles, vinyl covering etc.

It’s easy to say the dad who cheats the most without getting caught wins. With all the aftermarket parts, cars, and information on the internet it’s not difficult to build or purchase a winning car. Even if you know someone is cheating can you prove it? If so, before the race tell a leader...
