This is to all " The old men" in GPR........ Its getting to the end of the road for this Old Boy from the other side of the tracks to come home a winner Good luck to you all.... Tony GO Club FW
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.

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!
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.

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.
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!
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.
