If that's the case Sam, the Javelin's set up would be better.

Response to Sam's post!
What if you allow one call out to go up a spot and another call out from another member below your spot for each meeting/race? Each car has to race a minimum of two races.
This scenario becomes accepted practice, unless two racers agree to another list race?
Maybe allow 12 hours to respond to a call out. If no response before the agreed event finish time the spot is conceded. Just like the show the higher positioned car can agree to race or make their spot available to race for at the next event. So a PSO event becomes a two day event that concludes at a certain time on day two or at the racemasters discretion?
Most NTRA events are over two or three days so should fit in with the event?
Also anyone with a AutoWorld drag strip has the opportunity to run a PSO event because it is essentially a flash light race that doesn't require a timing system.
It would be great to see other members host some racing.
Just putting some thoughts out there for you guys to consider???

Thanks for the feedback Dave. I'm good with your call out suggestion. Very true about AW tracks, no timing system needed, who wants to be the first?
I'm good with a two day PSO event. Probably do a Friday and Saturday night with the Springs Nats on Saturday day.
What do you guys think about allowing participants to send one body and two chassis? Qualify both chassis with the body and choose the quicker one for the event. This would allow participants to play with setups a little more.

Nosub, Yes they will be legal. I like the mix up of old vs. new. SJ, You'll like my strip. It has thin rails and a little less down force than TKO's. Alright so this is how I see the first event. Dave called SJ out so we will let that race happen. I'm sure Nosub will want to take on the loser of that race for the #2 spot and then possibly #1. Now this is where it can get tricky. Say SJ loses to Dave and again to Nosub. If SJ's car just isn't running like it should for whatever reason... Should he should be able to deny another race at this event so that he doesn't lose anymore position or should we just fight it out until everything is decided? What do you guys think? The race will be live so it will be important to be online or you can send me your cell # along with your cars to receive text updates. I need some input. Thanks Correct-o-mundo I will race the loser. I'm good with if any car is of the mark it does not need to meet the next challenge. |

As we know one minor change to these chassis can be a big difference either way. |

agree, little changes can make a huge difference.
The more I think about Dave's idea of guaranteed 2 races each event the more I like it. Also allowing more call outs the same weekend as long as the racers want them.
Who plans on showing up for this first event and who plans on holding the second?

This sure sounds like a blast guys, once I get this magazine launched, it's time to build a track...

I have several cars that seem to fit the rules for this class.
What is the length of the track and the volts/amps available at the tracks that run these cars?

Here is the link to Bear Creek Dragway track specs: nitroslots.com/thread/3998/creek-dragway-specifications-track-locationCars will be run off a single switch for this race......simultaneous start. See you there. |

Thanks. Very similar to my setup. Only difference is the power supply. I have at least 20
cars that fit the class description.
I like your use of light bridges over the sensors. My setup uses a dozen track lights which work but
they are also good for heating a building at 50 watts each.

At what voltage will the races be held?

18 volts.

Thanks, I will set the voltage at 18V and test some of the cars I have that fit this class.
I did not see any body or chassis mounting restrictions outside of, " body must be hard plastic or resin".
Also can the guide pin be relocated? Rules state, "only one guide pin"? I have several AFX chassis where
the guide pin has been moved for body mounting purposes. It makes no difference in performance on a drag
car but I just wanted to check.
I must say the rules for this class make a lot more sense than some class rules I have read in the past and they will
lead to my participation in future races.
I am planning a race some time in the fall, (November?), and I would like to include this class in it as the rules make a lot of sense.

Dave, You are correct. There are no restriction for mounting a different body. Your request is reasonable and needed to mount bodies with short front ends. There are no performance gains that I know of? I'll update the rule for this tonight.
Relocation of the guide pin will be allowed to properly mount a body. I'm having a race with this class at the end of October. If you could make it mid November or later to allow me to get the cars back to the owners from my race so each has a chance to tune or make adjustments... then I say perfect. Thanks for hosting. |
