New Car - JK Cheetah 7 - Nascar

I decided for my next car that I would try my hand at racing a nascar style car. I have not had a chance to really test drive this car yet, but wanted to place a picture of the car up on the blog. I will give you an update soon on how the car runs, and any modifications that I may need to make.


I know one of the first things I will do is change the decals, and maybe switch to a different set of tires. I'm not sure about the rear-end gear if I need to swap it out for an upgrade or not, I won;t really know until I have a chance to run the car over several practices. I'll keep you posted on the progress of this car soon, and if I will be running in the points racing for this class.

Kids Racing - Downforce Hobbies

Took my daughter Laura down to Downforce Hobbies for some practice with her new car, and also to run the kids racing they have each week. The car that I purchased for Laura is a JK Cheetah 7 w/Falcon Motor with a AX-Audi R8 body. Here is a picture of her car.

She got in about and hour or so practice on the track and her times and driving improved a lot since the last time she raced. She was getting more comfortable driving as time went on. After the practice runs, we went over car maintenance, and she helped me clean and prepare the car for the kids race that was scheduled for later that day.

When she entered the kids race, their was three other kids entered with her, one of which was Matthew, Dean's son. You can follow them at Wolfpack Racing blog. It was a very close race, and Laura ended up finishing in 3rd place. She was very excited to get the third place plaque, and I was very proud of her in the way she handled herself during the race. With more practice and a few more events she will be definitely be making a run for some first place finishes.

Drag Racing Practice - Downforce Hobbies

Went down to Downforce Hobbies today to get in some more testing and practice time for the Drag Car. The car was again consistent in its times, with none of the runs being that far apart from each other in times.

I plan on entering the point racing which starts on Saturday, September 25th, 2010. With the car running this consistent, I think I will be able to do pretty well against the compition.

Here are the time that I ran today.
