Car Garage - Off to the Races

[Thinkin'Bout Racin]

Thanks to all here that offered their help. This place is amazing and the people are even better!

Well, I am out of time. Districts are tomorrow. We are as ready as we can be. Everybody is excited, each of us is going to run two cars. I think the track is a Best Track 49', but will find out in the morning.

I have learned SO much during this process! We built several different wheelbases, body designs, lead and tungsten weights, different thickness bodies, different chassis weighting, all so I could experiment and learn what causes what to happen with the different variables. Our rules required that we use graphite, full 2.5 gram wheels and BSA axles (no grooves allowed). It will be interesting to see how each car runs & reacts in traffic.

THANKS AGAIN to EVERYONE that answered all of my rookie questions. I sure wish I had found this place several years ago, instead of just before his last District race!
