It will mean less breakage and the cars will be slower but I know we will still see some high 30 MPH runs out of the pancakes in the .4 range. The positive rail on the track is pitting badly so I decided to lower the voltage to preserve the track. It still does it to some degree even at 20 volts. It is much better to protect the track as we all enjoy our racing, it would be a shame to damage any track.

Sounds like lowering the voltage will reduce but not eliminate the problem. The technical side of my mind is wrestling with what can be done to fix it.

74 entries already and it is only a few days since race entries were opened up.
Bill, I am trying to figure out why that is occurring with the pancakes and not the Inlines. If we can figure a cure I will go back to the 26 volts. There seems to be a lot of arcing when the cars first leave, only on the driver side rail, and to about the 60' mark then it starts to ease up. Any ideas let me know.

Do you have access to a camera that and record in slow motion? A while back, Kiwi Dave posted a video of several cars launching in super slow mo. It was amazing to see everything happing at the line. That might shed some light on your situation.

Super tire sponsor tires have arrived. Everyone will get 2 sets of these great tires. Thanks again Nick. That is awesome news. The Super Tires have become my favorite slip on followed closely by Jel Claw. The ST urethane seems to hold up better to stretching than the silicone. Performance wise the are about equal IMHO. Thank you Nick @ Super Tire!!
