F1paintlab makes a great carbon fiber decal sheet. I added it to the inside of my rear wing endplate.
That is very cool. Can't wait to see both of your f1s.

Since Gabe will not be there, who's going to open for us? I should have taken his key.

That was really fun racing today. F1 working good, mod sedan, wheee! I hope nobody was offended with my 5.5 sedan, it was just a riot though. Tim turned a 10.3 with it, I was only able to get 10.7. 11.0s for the stock sedans. It was really challenging to drive.

Main results: (lots of F1s)

Default F1

Super impressed with how the F1 class is coming along...with both turnout and driving.

Had a blast, see Gabe next week, but a huge thanks to Tim and Matt for keeping us going in his absence.

Race directing is one of those much needed tasks that rarely gets the credit it deserves.

We will soon have the McLaren Group joining us. As I understand, the team livery is being built now.

Looking good. I can't wait for Sunday to come again. It would be nice if every day was Sunday. I wouldn't mind if I was stuck like Bill Murray in Ground Hog Day.

Happy Holidays!

Of course I splurged & got a few things I don't need... I'll also be building a prop baised motor dyno soon, may as well use the EagleTree for more than just my planes & big cars.

I've also pre-mixxed a full gallon of cleaner, as always $1 for 8oz BYOC (bring your own can)

Here is an assortment for every one...

Nice work on the McLarens!

Per Tim's advice I went through the FGX tonight....

Rear camber, wrong. One side was -1 the other -2. Rear droop, wrong. Almost 4 mm. Rear tweak, wrong. Changed spring rates in the rear to softer and increased ride height, put in the right pinion and worked through the rest. Ready for testing. I guess this should have been checked before trying to race? Now for Miles's car.

I caught Caesar at the hobby shop trying to order an F104 VII from F1Paintlab.

We had 2 heats of F1, lets make it 3! Miles and I should be there Sunday.
