Great stuff! Was also looking at the aero package differences (wing placement) compared to a flat oval w/foams. Very interesting!

Once the show aires on Inside R/C, I'm hoping to take the video and shrink and compress it, and at least put part of it on our web site.

Most of us are running ones put together by Donn Natale

They use the old RC10 Dual Sport front end components w/ custom mounting plates.

There is a little modification you have to do, like running the caster blocks on opposite sides, and removing a little material from them for clearence.

Huffers car works very good. Most everyone here chased him all summer long at the Indy Velo.

Thanks for the links guys. Must be some pretty long faces after a crash there.lol Cool thing is that the lap times are similar to a small track by the looks of it. How many laps do guys run on average at a velodrome

We run 5 minuet heats & mains.Mod lap times are between 9 & 11 second laps.Track record in mod is 30 laps i believe.Joe from the southwest tour has all the track records.Sometimes you end up with a pile of parts after hitting the wall.Our next drome race is December 9th.
