New Track

I was talking to John - he is working on his new track, whenever he finds time. He will have it ready by this weekend and he would like to extend an invitation for Saturday 4/11/15 at 4:00pm.
No specific race format, just a relaxed hanging out with some racing, of course. ; -))

So, let us know if you want to come over and I will text you his address.

Cheers!

Piston Cup Final

The points are in and it was a tight race between Paul and Scott for 3rd position. Scott was racing strong enough,  for Paul not to have a big "home" advantage.
There was 6 events held for this Piston Cup, 42 races for each driver and we ended up counting 36  out of the 42 races.
There is/was a bit of a struggle with the software, due to new firmware release from Carrera, new software from Bruce Yingling and installing new computers on multiple tracks.
I'm sure things will be smoother, ones we take on the next piston cup some time later this year. Bruce Yingling is working on a software update, allowing car and driver rotation - in fact I already have the beta version to test. This will help with keeping track of points during events.

John, who has been racing with us for the last couple events has built a digital track in his basement. It seems to be promising in size and layout and could be a lot of fun to include in the future!



With the1st 2015 Piston Cup being finished, I'm looking forward to some team endurance races - hope we'll have enough people to sign up.

Thanks everybody, it was a lot of fun!

Cheers!
