2020 U2.0 Trans Am Proxy Round 6 at Bent Tree Raceway

[modernslots]

Good news- the cars all survived the 10 minute drive from Steve's house to mine without significant damage! I only found a couple of braids that needed to be straightened and Big Duhg's car had one windshield wiper pointing out like a sword and another that fell off. They appear to be made from staples, so in the interest of saving some SCANC fingers during marshaling, I bent the remaining wiper back against the windshield as best I could. I hope that's a legal modification lol!
Here's a photo of our late entry from Zack, and its a great looking car, so its also leading the field in the group photo.
Qualifying is tomorrow afternoon and we should have the results posted tomorrow evening. Drivers are lined up for Thursday at @ 6:30 and they will not all be the same as for Round 5. We can live stream the race if there is interest, so let me know if you'd like that.
Bent Tree Raceway is 90' CNC routed with 4" lane spacing and is in the regular track rotation for our club's weekly races. I think these U2.0 cars will like it. We'll run 4 three minute heats. Good luck to everyone and we should have a good race in both classes! (after RobNC's car)

That’s one of the best looking cars I’ve seen. Great paint contest will be close with the number 35 car as I loved the finish on both of them.

Thanks Modernslots for the update. I’m sure everyone would love live streaming if possible as it’s the best evening show any of us have seen in a while. Good luck to everyone qualifying and better luck on race day.

Rob, Ben changed the name of the Facebook page to Slot Car Addicts of NC when he created the new page to be public vs. private. Here's the link - https://www.facebook.com/Slot-Car-Ad...00641915127083

Round 6 qualifying is in the books. Modernslots qualified the cars and I tended to the secretarial and marshaling duties. Here are the results. Congratulations to the podiumites and best of luck to all contenders in Thursday's race.

My car must be getting faster. It is only 1/2 second from next to last.

Had to post this...

Zack had to get in there and ruin it for Porsche - again!

[ZackM]

Getting anywhere into the sea of 914s was my only goal! haha

Thanks for the run. Happy with the performance for my tall car.

Congrats to all, I am sure my slightly newer tires are contributing to my solid performance. See how far I can battle up from the back!

Thanks for the qualifying run.

Congrats to the top qualifiers! Good luck to all on race day.


I'm very tempted to give this Escort another go. Yeah, yeah... I'm 3 seconds off the pace. But who wants to win anyway. 🤪

Thank you Fast Co. And Modernslots for qualifying the cars. Congratulations RobNC, Modernslots and Leadfinger. As expected SCANC cars led the way. Strong showing by ZackM, CourtneyS And Gascarnut with the best of the rest. If your watching, the best of the rest in today’s qualifying results are all on brass or metal chassis. Keep in mind, ZackM’s results will not affect outcomes.
