dNano Race Series start at Mooresville

Okay guys, we're going to try our first official race day!

When: Saturday (July 25th)
Doors open 30 min early (9:30am)
Race Start: 10:30am (Tenatively - if that is too early, let me know. Personally I would like to start later, maybe noon? Speak up on when you would like to race)

We sold another car (Porsche 962) and that guy is going to be there. If jdob makes it down and if Pedro gets a car, that makes at least 3. To get you guys in here, we are not going to charge anything for entry fee or practice laps. Brent also has a few ideas cooking for store discounts, coupons, etc... for participating racers.

Our store Subaru will be available to race with as well.

I am going to try and make it! I have something kind of up in the air right now for Saturday, but I think it will all work out for the best and I will be able to race my dNaNo - Finally!!! WooHoo!!!

The race time seems OK to me - since it's indoors we don't have to worry about getting rained out - and getting done earlier means there will still be time left in the day for other things...Cool...

Great! We sold two more cars today so if everyone shows, there should be a pretty good size group. Dare I say enough for 2-sets of qualifiers and a B main? Haha

mx5, Which cars did you sell? Have you set up the race management software? Will there be a little table space somewhere? I can bring a small card table to share if needed.

Great you can come down Jdob! An earlier start is best for me too, if everyone else is there. Look forward to tomorrow!

Sold the Mclaren (which ran a legit 4.49 yesterday, stock other than bearings) and I THINK the Ferrari 360, but can't remember.

I'm busy this weekend [getting the garage floor sealed], but I'm down for the next event. Can't wait!

Ready to do a little racing today? I will make sure to get some photos up. Went by last night and did some first laps with the Enzo, felt good. I ran the ball diff straight away and it felt balanced. I managed a 4.58 on the 3P. Joe E was there running his 962 and McLaren. He did a 4.49 with the Mc the previous night! Have to fit the bearings and clean up the lines a bit to run with Joe. Should be a fun day with Jdob in the mix...

Thanks to the HT Mooresville guys for a good time. We just finished racing, Joe, Justin, Mark and myself had some good racing. I think we were all dipping into the mid to low 4s and had some good dicing. I am very inpressed with these little cars... alot like racing the larger Zs. I am sure that the store guys will post results and pictures. I have some too I will post later.

Pedro

Ha, ha...I updated my avatar to add my orange glasses...SWEET!!!

Had fun running around today! Nice to meet everyone - and see some faces I hadn't seen in awhile! I will have to practice my car control a little bit and try to keep off of the wall and other competitors cars...Ha, ha, ha...Hope I wasn't to awful crashing into anything and everything - my poor light buckets didn't fair to well...

Hope to be able to make it out again for the next meeting...

Justin

Well, I bought a car..... so I'll be gunning for you guys next week!



There weren't any hop-ups worth getting since you guys bought them all, so I had to do something to make mine unique. I layed the neon green down with a brush, so it isn't perfect, but I'm gonna try to smooth it out a bit.

I was going to get the 911, but chickened out because this one was lower, wider and longer and I think the 911 is going to be a bit stubby. I dunno.... and I opted for this one over the F40 because it was $20 cheaper. LOL

Good choice! I love that body, I would really like the real one in the garage! It is a mid motor rather than rear and wider than the GT3. I wonder why it is 20 cheaper than the F40?

I would imagine that it cost more to get Ferrari licensing....but that said I don't remember what the 360 cost. (Thinking 139, just like the Porsche)

I was just looking at www.racednano.com - The Mooresville location now leads in most laps run WORLDWIDE...I guess they don't call it RACE CITY for nothing...
