Last night, I went over to where 1 of the 2 District tracks is stored for a polishing party. After we got it polished and Endusted, which it needed badly, the Chairman asked about setting it up to look it over. It seems that there "problems" when the host Pack ran it on Friday with some joints. Ok, the 2 things that changed this year was the track got a solenoid start gate and the Lift n' Level kit added to it. Imagine my surprise when I checked the angle of the start section and found it at 38 degrees!!!! I checked the curve section and it had a gap in the joint. What in the world? I double checked the curve angle and it was 41 degrees!!! My word, no wonder they had " problems". Needless to say, we will be correcting that next week for them. I could see it now with DD4H, new track record, zero friction for 10 feet while airborne.

Next Wednesday I can when we set it up to correct it. I knew it looked wrong, but I had figure it out. The iPhone bubble level app caught and gave me the readout on the angle. I am not used to seeing angled joint gaps like that in a Best Track.

An app?!?!? Awesome down loading one right now!!

This is exactly why we can't tell when someone asks how fast or competitive their car would be if they send it in. Or how fast their car will be on a certain track. There are to many variables involved, at best it's a guess./images/boards/smilies/smile.gif
