Thank you Greg for putting on a great event. My son watched on our TV and had a great time. We will make the drive out there in a couple of years when both of my boys are in scouts.

Ok, I asked this in the shoutbox and didn't get an answer.
Did the Track and reaction timer get set up at the MA event that Greg was talking about on the latest podcast? If so how did it go? Did people have fun with it?

   Looking at your front fenders Laserman. Does one have to worry about them touching the track at the transition? |

Hi Dave,
I wouldn't imagine so.
It ran at MA like it didn't bottom out...
nah... What am I talking about? That is a 4.75" wheel base...
Except in extreme cases... if it rolls on a rail... then it will clear the transition...
I don't recall ever rolling it on a rail however. lol

Ohhh... She did ok.
Didn't make the finals though.
At that length of Wheel base... you may want to be sure of clearance... I think? Not sure...
Especially on the lifted wheel side I would imagine?
Betcha DerbyTalk would have the answer.
