Awesome work! My car has a wiggle as soon as it hits the flat. guess I needed a little more steer.

So does mine. Very perplexing. Gold Stripe (which was my faster car) wiggled in the white and lue lanes and put down some ugly times. In the black and red lanes, it ran a respectable 2.9716 (respectable for me anyway). If I could keep it straight down the track, it might do well.

My other car had an ugly jump in the second run; thought it was leaving the track there for a second.

I think maybe it was your car that broke a wheel and they replaced one. I watched part the feed last night.

Wow. Go figure.

I was not able to watch live, so I caught the slow motion video. While I do like to watch live and at times be a "Chatty Kathy", the slow motion video is what I use to watch the car. It would be hard to catch that (e.g. a car problem) using the video alone. Have to go to the other forum and give Joel and company some props.

I'll re-post the following from pinewoodderbyonline, since this is the NPWDRL forum:

Usually there is a thread after every race we many folks congratulate others who won, thank those who worked the race, etc. At times, I had thought it gets repetitive and/or casual and sometimes loses its significance. For me, and I would think this applies to any racer, the "thanks" is always there to all of those involved, race coordinators and racers alike, as it is the only way in which we can appease our extraordinarily eccentric obsession.

Last night, the slow motion video for the March BASX class was posted (I was not able to watch the race live). In heat 5 (or I believe it was in heat 5), my car named "Yellow Sun" made an ugly jump in the flat (thought it was leaving the track) and turned in a record-breaking time over 3 seconds. I was just told by another racer that the cause of the jump was the result of a damaged wheel.

Apparently Joel and company suspended the race and replaced the wheel allowing my car to complete the race. I just have to say thanks to those who repaired my car, as well as to those who were live who may have been inconvenienced due to the race delay. This is why I have continued to race here for about 2 years. It is not just racing, but the folks who you race with. I do not want to suggest that the other leagues would not have done the same, but instead, just convey why the NPWDRL is my home for PWD racing.

**** Thanks to all who race at the NPWDRL ****

Now, if I could just stop "Gold Stripe" from wiggling. It was by far my faster BASX car and threw down a time of 2.971x two times (once in a middle lane and once in the outer right lane). It could have been my first ever top 10 car.

You probably know this already. you can go to livestream and watch the race anytime.
If you watch that run in real time I'm not sure how it stayed on the track.

I watch the slow motion video's of my runs several times. after a few times you can really study the problems that you wouldn't see in real time.

Props to Joel and crew for the patch work.

Thanks Bulldog, Now to find some more speed... I'm going to work on weight placement and try to figure out wheel prep this time around. possibly build a couple more cars and play leap frog.

King Racing, you were not far behind me in BASX or Street Stock. I certainly don't think any of us rookies stand out too far from the others yet. We have had our isolated incidents where one of our cars did unexpectedly well, but it seems pretty clear we are all good builders going through the same learning process.
