Hi Bill,

I'll see your "haHA!", and raise you a "Mu" for a total "MuhaHA!" 

My wife and I were eating supper while watching a bad movie and I mentioned to my wife that I'm thinking of adding another track to the AFX wall and she just nodded. Bingo! 

I did many trial runs to measure how far the cars would pass the cut-off spot. So far the classes of cars I've run don't make it to the hair-pin. This is typical placement at the end of a good run. The 62 Chevy beats my 70 Camaro by that much every time no matter what lane. The way they sit is how they crossed the finish line. Very interesting indeed. Easy enough to switch bodies.

   
   
   

I have yet to test the fastest class of car (for me) which is the 6-ohm Mini Scalex. But there is already a dynamic braking system ready and in place. I just unplug the hand controllers and power supply and plug in a few short circuits.

   
   

I've been working on proxy cars and don't have very much to show. Most of them look store bought with the exception of the tires.

I cleaned up the Chaparral chassis with 2/3 warm water, salt, and 1/3 vinegar. That made a noticeable difference. Here are the before and after pics.

   
   
   

As soon as proxy cars are in transit. I can relax and tinker with upgrades like new wheels and tires for the Chaparral, etc.

While working on, and testing proxy cars. More cars have mysteriously become available. Like, from out of no where!
