Men And Volts

Hi guys,

What are the chances of cranking up the volts a little and racing the finale like men? If even 1 car has to be rubber banded then that is 1 too many. You may as well turn down the volts and rubber band them all, collect lap totals and be done with it. Ten volts is fine for lead sleds, but mag missiles need volts to race. Let's get real for the last race so the mag cars can race to their full potential. Let's give these cars a great final send off for their trip around the world...er...globe.

Let 'er rip!

Van

(11 or 12V please)

It dont matter to me
If you really feel that
You need sometime to be free
Time to go out searching for yourself
Hoping to find time to go to find

And it dont matter to me
If you take up with someone
Whos better than me
cause your happiness is all I want
For you to find peace your piece of mind

Lotta people have an ego hang-up
cause they want to be the only one
How many came before it really doesnt matter
Just as long as youre the last
Everybodys moving on and try to find out
Whats been missing in the past

And it dont matter to me
If your searching brings you back together with me
cause therell always be
An empty room waiting for you
An open heart waiting for you
Time is on my side
cause it dont matter to me
It dont matter to me....

Besides, I whupped Van and Tony in the last race, and I'll be doing the same in the next one.

Turn it up, Steve. Let's see if they can really handle it!

Your all washed up Mr Wet... No chance in hell that your going to beat up on the
over-all leader... Me... Good luck to you

Notice!

The track voltage on Area 51 will be 10v, as per the long experience of Steve S. and company on that track. More voltage with magnet cars will result in more crashes, at higher speeds, and more car damage. It is doubtful that the cars can run at full throttle, all the way around, in all the lanes. There is less magnetic downforce on Area 51 than on most other magnetic tracks.

The best racing will result from each track being run according to the experience of the track hosts, and the customary drivers on those tracks.

Turn it up, Steve. Let's see if they can really handle it!

We'll put it up to 15V and try Turn 1 with the WCR Porsche. We will keep trying for higher and higher cornering speed until the limit is reached. Once that happens we will box up the remains of your car and ship it back to you by Dawg Sled so you can glue the tiny pieces back together in time for the next GPR. Seeing that there is unlikely to be another for quite some time, if ever, you will have plenty of time. We'll keep you posted..... And I still think that little red guy is giving everyone the double bird...Where is a Moderator when you need one???

Alright, news from the final GPR round starts to filter through ... good idea to start with the slower cars Steve, then work your way up to the serious machinery.

[Robert Livingston]

Brian G/TR3 is up in third place, which is a very good showing. This car is a red and white Lancia, isn't it? If so, many of us struggled to get that car to perform. I recall some rebuilding just to get it to stay on the track. Good to see that it works!

Neener, neener, neener..... .002, gotta love it!

Nice footage Steve.

[dr vanski]

Great to see this track in action. How long is the main straight? Excellent videos!

[S Sawtelle]

How long is the main straight?

26 ft. for the main straight. Unfortunately I don't have a wide angle lens on the video camera so I elected to catch as much of the layout as I could. The pic below will give you a better idea where the cars are disappearing to when they are off camera.
