Joel,
Appreciate the fact that you added pin covers to prevent any anomalies which it did but we noticed that the track was running a bit slower (3-5 thous) compared to last month.
We probably should reset the track records going forward to reflect the changes in the starting pins.

Might have to reset the Sub badge timings too!

What do you guys feel?

I can tell you the track wasn't off 5 thousands ..maybe 2 at most. At the end of the day whether the track is off or not the fastest cars gonna win.. people wanna race track times and that's something I never do. I get a time on my track and race that time.. then whatever he league track is it is.. I understand people that don't have a track it might confuse a little .. but from what I could see yesterday everyone finished about the same running order as last month minus my cars..

I did notice that the track times were a little slower and even asked a few people if they noticed. I also know that my track will vary .004-.005 due to the humidity. In the end it was still just as fair to me as it is to everyone else. We will see track records broken again soon. Except Skippy's BASX that might stand for a while.

Everyone raced on the same track Saturday, so if the track was faster or slower it really shouldn't make any difference. Next month will likely be a little different again.

I'm with Zeeb, leave the track records as is, they will eventually fall.

I understand the track is the same for all every month but just wanted to point out that the track record targets have just been raised a little higher, that's all. Looks like most racers are up to the challenge! Kudos to the next racer who sets a track record!!

Based on this thread I didn't go back through the results and check every run to see if there was a track record broken last weekend..... if you did break a track record please let me know.

When I mailed my BASX AM car in it ran .511 to .515 that should be 2.966 to 2.97, when I tested it today it ran .522 to .525, at the race it ran 2.977 and fastest was around 2.975 so I checked everything possible wheel gaps, alignment, oil and so on then I noticed the wheel tread it had something sticky on the rears so I sanded them with 2000 wet and dry and guess what, back to .512 I checked the zip lock bag and it is clean, must have picked it up somewhere.
