what brand tape? does it take any prep? OK MOOD! Here is the scoop...........if you have a slow car you can go to the dollar store and buy their tape. If you have a screamer, it just won't do! Once that car gets up to speed the tape starts to peel up! If that happens, well we all know that you lose precious time! I hope this helps you out in your quest for speed.
PS..............there is no prep............other than make sure the car is free of oil when you put the tape down! ;D ;D

BSB the car is cool I really like the clear wheels just looking at the pic though what is the axel size they almost look like needles are they just tapered down after the bore? They are legal. What ever the rules state for axle size, that is what they are. I make all my cars interchangeable as far as wheel retainers....makes life a lot easier. I've been a machinist for the last 43 years and trust me.................I do know how to measure! LOL

I know you have had hometrack advantage to damn long, time to change things up a bit. I hope to see it at WIPR. I think I must need to put labels on the top of my cars to identify that they are mine. If you want I will make some for you too or you can just get out some tape and a marker like I am thinking. Nice car! I think it will move like most everything you do does! Keep it slow for a month or two, I might need it. LOL! I only need 3 pieces of tape Steve.............also, no bigger than 1"x 1/2". I have done extensive testing and this size seems to be the fastest!
PS......the tape must be applied the long way on the car. (this is KEY to speed!) PSS ............ red or black Sharpie for the labels. Tried the blue and it slowed the car down PSSS......it must be the gloss tape, not the matte stuff. Gloss is good for another .002/.003.
I guess I'm done now!

any feedback from you guys on how accurate you think we were this month? I for one thought it was a pretty fair representation of what is going on in the various leagues.

First attempt at a stocker. Hope it runs OK! Not exactly my forte, but I have to race away from the hometrack and learn how to run big axle cars! LOL

Hi Mood, I think you got a good mixture with Racers you have now to set the rankings. Still, I believe it is really hard to differentiate racers between leagues. Race formats, access to the actual track, before race to tune cars, different league rules for car design all come into play. I have only been racing for less than a year and here is my conclusion on the best way of finding out who is the fastest. I thought that the BGN venue was a great opportunity to showcase the racers on a common track where nobody really had an advantage. There were racers from the different leagues at this race and it really showed who had speed. I saw the pictures that Shade put on the forums and I did not know many of the racers at CCRL. It would be fun to race and chat with these guys! As with most racers, time is limited and family and keeping a job come first. Consequently, it is hard to race in more than one venue at a given time without such disturbances as upsetting one's spouse. I believe that there is plenty of room for both leagues without the constant bantering that I see happening. Still, it would be nice to see an independent race where everyone could bring their best. We are just having fun racing these little cars creating small moments of joy and developing friendships between racers. Oh, Shade, Carolina, and BSB: The gift cards are in the mail/ ;D Pretty Cool Stuff. I am having fun! Murph You will have to be more specific on the gift cards?

OK............I'll give it a shot. In the movie Christmas Vacation......what is the name of Chevy Chase's father? Not his real life name, his name in the movie?
