I am having a really hard time getting acclimated to running anti-clockwise.

Cheers,
Jim

Still having a hard time linking laps together going CCW but showing improvement.....it is hugely frustrating none the less.

Here is my Box Stock time sheet. With the exception of using a motor that I had “broken in” and my normal tire set up the car is truly Box Stock and I have not touched a thing yet. It actually feels pretty good with the exception of a big hop I get coming off the long straight.

With some more practice I should be able to get a 5.6’ish average.

Cheers,
Jim

I thought I would never get to where I left off time wise going clockwise. I kept with it and I ended up beating my best lap. I still have work to do with total race time but I’m improving every time I run. Consistency will come eventually and then I’ll end up starting over in July on a whole new layout. I consider this training. By the end of the year I should be able to run any layout with confidence. Just in time for the holidays up in NY. I’ll feel better about visiting a larger track up there.

Starting to feel better, I had a fairly decent run with the Box Stock car this evening doing a 426.2s and am starting to turn some quick laps with both my 90mm and LM cars both with Pro Stock motors in them currently. I changed out the very noisy spur/pinion on my 90mm car and the thing feels like a different animal, I kept the FDR very close to what I had before bit the car just feels so much faster......and it is a bucket load quieter. I also ran the GLA and was turning quite a few laps in the 4.8X range but then would just have a bad lap after bad lap.

With that said can I ask you guys just to edit your original time sheets for each class when you want to post new times as well as not adding a time sheet that shows a slower time than you have already posted. If we start to get more participants and everyone posts a new time sheet every time they run the bookkeeping at the end of the month will be a nightmare.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Jim

Hello All,
I will fill in all the pertinent info in the morning.

I am finally feeling more comfortable going CCW. I got home to an empty house this evening and got quite a few laps in. First up was my Stock car which is a rear mount 90mm chassis and currently running a GT1 body. The PN70 has new silver brushes which were broken in and I switched over to 64P gears......the car feels fast power wise. Handling wise it still feel a bit nervous but can put down some fast laps when I stay clean but it is not easy to do, I need to do some more work to get the car more consistent.

Second up was my Pro-Stock car which is in LM Spec running an Atomic 130 48t motor and the 787 body. I have been running the LM wheels and tires and I was struggling with lap times but the car was super constistant. I switched to 20mm wheels and my normals tire set up and the car came alive and was still super consistent. I still had a couple errors but still the car felt great.

Lastly I had a another go with my Box Stock car. I did not have any fully charged batteries so the car was a bit down on power but it felt great tonight. I still have done nothing with the exception of tires. I shaved another few seconds off my time. Considering the fact that I have doe zero to this car except for tire, the front suspension feels like it has rock for springs and the rear feels like a wet noodle the car feels awesome.

Tonight was was fun ripping some hot laps and feeling more comfortable.

Cheers.
Jim
