To put lap counts in perspective, what were the heat times? 2:15, 2:30, or 2:45? I could be a bit off (not checking the previous results too much), but it looks like a lot of records for lap counts for the top one or two cars. Huge difference from 1st and 2nd to the rest of the field, hope a way is found to close the gap and make the racing closer.
Hobby Planet Jacksonville FL race results!!!
Jan-12-07
We started the night with GT class with the new rules allowing all cars to run 20,000 rpm motors we are dusting off the scalelectrix cars and getting them to compete with the ninco cars. With Bill and Jason running these cars they were able to lay down some fast lap times but not running them in a while showed. Mechanical failure caused both cars to fall back allowing clear sailing for the front runners.

We continued the night with Prototypes and I must say everyone brought there "A" game. We had close clean racing with all cars well preped for the race. There were times the track marshals had nothing to do for the whole heat, noboby came off. The top five drivers turned 30 laps or better in three out of four lanes with yellow lane playing the spoiler four of the top five had 29 laps and one had 33.
Great Racing :thumbsup: That was an excellent driving display on everyones part.

I could be wrong but I thought they always run 2:30. In my limited experience opinion: Practicing regularly, years of experience and the ability to focus in as the night wears on are the key to winning those races.
As Marty's Mom, I can say he had a blast Friday night! Though Marty and Jonathan are Junior racers, I think it's great that they can compete at all when it's 11:00PM and if I was the one with the controller, I'd be a lot further behind and parts of my car would be flying all over the place as my car bounced all over the track. (Guess that's another good reason for me to not race and just turn marshall!)
Time will tell on who is doing what on lap counts but I can tell you Wingless, Friday was a good time for all the racers and, to me, that is absolutely the most important part of this sport.

I really hate my various teachers and professors now. Too many persuasive essays and such in school. What I wouldn't give to be able to communicate short and quick points that wouldn't be misunderstood... Hooray for the Internet!
Sorry about the long posts, I get long-winded at times.

So very much true. Althought admittedly, a sword does have a longer reach!Wizard Of Iz said:Just remember that the pen is mightier than the sword.
