FYI........I have updated the last Race Update to show all of the New Zealand racers and their car names. 13 total!! Yikes, that's a lot!
I'll try to get that second car tuned and sent for a possible back-up in case of some "no shows". Hopefully some of the better 'tuners' will do the same  . |

Dave, what kind of mph with those times? Did not realize Super comp was running at 24 volts, I will have to retest them. Running at 20 volts they were running between 23 and 26 MPH. The ceramic magnet car was running 1-2 MPH faster than the Poly magnet chassis, with similar ETs. |

****Race announcement****
I know....I know....I said I didn't think we would need extra cars for the Kiwi Challenge but I'm rethinking that. My apologies!!
If anyone wants to send and extra car just in case we need it please do. |

The ceramic magnet car was running 1-2 MPH faster than the Poly magnet chassis, with similar ETs. That extra voltage will help those poly magnets work better. Dave I know you know that, but others may not. |

One of Mikes cars to watch will be his Gasser. Took the long trip here for some testing and the trouble it previously had was found and corrected.   |

You are a welcome addition to Nitro Slots Mike. Glad to hear the Lasagna did not kill you. Also nice to be able to run cars with someone who
appreciates them at my track.

****RACE UPDATE****
I am happy to announce that Lucky Bob's Raceway will once again be a Sponsor for the 2021 NTRA Winter Nationals. LBR has been a steadfast sponsor for many years and I am very thankful their support!! Let them know how you feel and send some $$ their way.
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!
There have also been several racers that have told me they are sending race prizes! The support for this forum in especially the last couple of years is pretty awesome guys. This is the best group of individuals that I've had the pleasure of being a part of on Nitroslots! Thanks goes to all of you that build these little monsters!! They can be frustrating......but even my most frustrating day with my slot cars is better than my best day at work.....lol. This is turning into an exciting event and I can hardly wait.
It's getting close and will be here before you know it! Still time to sign up if you haven't already.

Nope, we allow most resin/plastic bodies. No lexan. As long as the body reassembles a drag/muscle car. Anyone that is unsure if their body is legal please check with Jeff. |

The International cars are in the house. The racers have their pick of pit spots and plenty of time to get settled in and make some test hits. Finistauri was the first to arrive earlier in the week but he was hauling some Sponsor goodies....no cars yet! I will not be opening any of the boxes until we get closer to the race. It has begun!!
