Saturday Night Slot Car Racing

Saturday, May 14th 2011

It was another fun evening of slot car racing over at the Wolfpak Garage.  This week there was a slight change in the lineup of races, Dean added two 10v beginner classes to the schedule.  Dean also let me use his backup controller since his main controller had come back from being repaired.  This helped out a lot, and was a big reason for my improved performance in tonights races.


For a complete breakdown of the nights races, you can head over to the Wolfpak Racing blog, below is some images and race results of the evenings races; pictures courtesy of Wolfpak Racing blog, I forgot to take some for myself, sigh :( .  Although I was able to get a video made of one of the heat races (thanks Jordan for being the camera man), so enjoy....

Race 1: LMP Challenge (10v)

Race 2: NASCAR ARCA (10v)

2nd: Frank / 1st: Dragi / 3rd: Jordan

Race 3: LMP2

This was a great race, this was the first time that I had broken the 200 lap mark on this track.  Dean had let me use his backup controller which helped out a lot, I can't wait until I can afford to purchase my own controller (Donations anyone????).

Another Saturday night racing over at the Wolfpak Garage

Saturday April 30th, 2011

It was another great night of racing with the gang over at Wolfpak Racing.  We had another driver join our mix last night, one of Dragi's friends dropped by to test out the waters of slot car racing.  For his first time out, he did a very good job.

The first three races was ran at a reduced power level, to allow better ca control for the new driver.  Even at 10V, it was a fun couple of races.

Dean from Wolfpak Racing had a new controller for me to try out.  It was a big improvement I feel over the last control I was using on this track.  Although my times did decrease from the previous week(s), I feel if I can get in some more practice with this new controller, I should be able to improve my times over the next couple of outings.

Race 1

Race 2

Race 3

For the fourth and final race, the power level was returned to 12V.

Race 4

It was a great night of racing and I look forward to the next Saturday racing.

Saturday night racing over at the Wolfpak Garage

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

It was another fun night of racing.  This Saturday night we had 4 drivers, my friends Dean and Dragi with Wolfpak racing, our friend Ed, and myself.

First Race: LMP Challenge

With getting more practice, being my second week racing on this track I feel my times and total laps have improved.  Below is the race results from the first race.

Second Race: LMP

In the second race, Dean loaned me one of his X24's, it was the same car I race last week in the LMP race.  I was getting used to this car, and with this one I feel I made a major improvement over last week.  Also to give a shout-out to Dean, he made a new track record by completing 219 laps (geat job, even though it was short lived, see below).  Below is the race results from race two:

Third Race: Nascar Nationwide

This was a fun race, once again I made good improvements with this class over last week.  Below is the race results for this class:

Fourth Race: Nascar Sprint Cup

Dean won the first three races, but Ed denied him a shut-out over us by winning the last race of the night.  Not only did Ed win this race, but he also set a new track record by completing 221 total laps, great job Ed.  Below is the race results for this class:

I look forward to another fun Saturday night race next weekend.  If you want directions, or to view the race schedule, head on over to Wolfpak Racing's blog to get all the information.  Thanks again Dean to a fun night of racing.
