After the 1ST practice with the car it was not that impressive, running in the range of 9.10 - 8.70. With the breakout for the class set at 8. flat. I knew a couple of the slot.its that were capable of low 8s. So after I got it home, I made a few changes from things I had noticed. First off it needed the weight a bit further toward the center, (I had it up front mostly) You`ll notice the 1 large piece in the center. Also it didn`t have the straight speed I needed, so I went back to the MONOGRAM (new) motor. As the car unloaded going into the corners I noticed the front fork of the chassis was rubbing the track. I made a brass rod that fits between the body and down into the grooves of the chassis. Also the tires were changed to Scaley T/A rears. Slot.it wood track guide was also installed. I didn`t get a chance to test the car again on the big track, so it was a crap shoot at the first race Saturday. Getting there early enough to get a bit of practice, the car had really improved. Running 8.3s consistently in the outer lanes. Fastest was a 8.007 during the race. As shown in the picture, we had a light turnout for the inaugural race. there were actually 2 more cars entered late for a total 9. I did take the victory with 118 laps a shy 3 laps over 2nd. MONOGRAMS took the top 3 spots.
