What to do?

[MOFAST]

Getting ready to leave on vacation for over a week. I have 2 cars built and ready for the March race, I won't be getting home until Sunday. I can send my cars in next Friday untuned and know that they will get there on time for the race. I have a tuning board so I can at least make sure they are rolling good and check my steer. If I wait and send them the Monday after I get home I can probably tune them on a track but take the risk they don't get to the race on time. Do I go big and risk not being able to race, or just try to do the best I can without access to a track knowing they will get there on time? I know little adjustments make big speed changes.

I'm thinking send in my car that I ran in December because I know how much steer it needed to run it's best. I could send it Friday. My new car that I have never tuned, I could play with on the track and send on Monday. Probably a 30% chance it won't get there on time. Thoughts?

I won't send my cars out to the week of the race ( TUESDAY) you have plenty of time even if sent on monday.

I agree with JBD. Before John moved I would send out on Wednesday and be there by Friday. Since the move, I now ship on Tuesday and still there by Friday. I don't think there are any hold ups with weather around the country right now so shipping on Monday may likely get the cars there by Thursday.

That is, unless you decide to ship them from Zeebzob's address then who knows when they'll arrive. /images/boards/smilies/smile.gif Sorry Zeeb couldn't help it.

Last couple of races it seems if people mailed on Monday it was hit or miss if they were there on Friday. I don't want to hold up the races. Seems like a big pain for everybody. I think I will take the chance and mail both on Monday. If they are not there they'll just have to race without me. Thanks for the response guys! If the cars are not going to run to their potential doesn't seem much point in sending them in. I want an AM win!

MoFAST, the races will be starting later from what I understand as of now. It will start sometime after the mail delivery on Saturday, if I understood everyone correctly.
