Guess the ET #3 results and winner!
This is a '70 Ford Mustang AW Thunderjet Ultra G kit car. The chassis is completely stock utilizing all AW stock components that came in the kit. This car was a Christmas Gift Exchange race entry built by Gnome and finished a very close #2 in the race. It was tuned for 18v but we are running it today at 14v. I warmed the car up and made one test pass before running it down the track for ET.   It seems most everybody did not give the little Mustang any credit. Bear Creek track record for Tjet Stock @ 14v is 1.0694. Only one racer was close............
Ecbill with a guess of 1.4400 a difference of .1831!
Congratulations Bill!!

14V probably threw everyone for a loop. Definitely made it more challenging.

All check in is now completed. We have a total car count of 65 cars including the Outlaw Lists. (47) Class cars, (6) cars battling in the Outlaw Shark Pools to get onto the Lists, and (12) PSO and 4GO List cars currently holding spots. Several spots have opened up on each of the Lists due to the "no shows". That just creates opportunity for others. Also Finistauri has voluntarily pulled his PSO and 4GO #1 cars off the Lists to open up the #1 spots for someone new. A very noble thing to do in my opinion. Thank you Mike!
So with that being said, I am going to take a break from sitting here. I will then get set up in the garage......I mean Race Central and start running some cars. I will post some pics of the field of cars once I am set up out there.
Stay tuned....... |

Congrats, Bill! I guess that shows the difference between a car that is "built" vs. one that is just "assembled". I still have a lot to learn.

Great guess Bill, I was way off despite using Einstein's formula.

Nice job, Bill. I ran a bone stock car down my track at 14v and clocked a 2.3 seconds. I figured it would be a bit faster than that. I didn't read closely enough to realize this was a Gnome build.
