I met my friend Dean down at Downforce Hobbies in Mesa, and he was a great help in getting the car setup and body attached. You can follow dean and his racing family at: Wolfpack Racing. Before we could attach the body, we had to swap out the rear-end for a smaller axle for it was originally setup for a different body style. Lucky for me, Dean had an extra rear axle handy that he let me use. We got it switched out pretty quick, thanks to Dean. After a few modification to the chassis and cutting/trimming the body down to fit, we had the car race ready in no time. I learned alot with Dean's help and hope to be able to put that to the test with my next car which will be one of the Flexi cars.
After some great pointers from Dean, I was ready to take some practice runs. The car turned out be great I ran 6 times in each lane to get a good feel for how the car was going to run. The car turned out to be more consistent then I thought at first and ran the following times:
I'm going to try to get in some more practice runs between now and Saturday. The plan is to enter the bracket racing Saturday night which will be Draft Wheels Racing debut to the slot car racing world.
