It's on!

Great opening day for the 2016 Piston Cup - 9 drivers showed up. Pat seems to have been holding back the last few seasons, as he is just pulling away like lighting!
I'm sure it will be an interesting season....

See you all next race...

Cheers!

Turkey Run 2016

The Turkey Race 2016 will be held on November 26th. The track will open at 11:00. The race will last for 4 hours - this will be continuous time.
Each team persist of 2 drivers, each driver has to drive half the distance of the race. It's at each teams discretion how to divide stints of each driver.
Driver changes can only be executed while the car is in the pit lane. Cars that need to be taken off the track, have also to be in the pit lane.

At this time we are still looking for 4 drivers to have 2 more teams.

See you at the races!

Cheers!

Of course....

...bring your 1/24 cars as well!

Matt, if you don't like the pretty, cool looking chrome, I'm sure there will be some other colors to choose from.... ; -))

See you on Friday!

DTM this Friday

Hi Guys,

We will get together and tune/race some DTM's. I have setup 6 of them and they all run great and competitive to each other (so, plenty of cars for everybody to test how the DTM's run). Bruce and I figured out the tire to be used.
Matt, I was able to set up one of the older Mercedes's and it seems very competitive, so you should be fine with the one you have, once urethane tires and weight is installed.

So, if you don't have any plans, come on over on Friday, starting at 6. If you plan on coming, please let me know.

Looking forward to get together.

Cheers!

DTM D132

Hi Guys,

Bruce and I have been tinkering with some of the available DTM cars. It seems they are fast and fun to drive. So far we have tested 3 of the BMW liveries and one Audi A5. They seem to run pretty even in terms of lap times - of course we all know, that there can be a big margin in motor performance, especially on the small motors. But so far no problem. 
At this point we are still experimenting with the choice of tires. We have tried Yellow Dogs so far, but thinking about using our own/same compound as for the 1/24's. We will see what work better.
Just thought I give you a heads up, in case you are ready to try something new. I don't think we will restrict it to only the new DTM cars, so any Carrera DTM that is either already digital or able to be upgraded will work.
As far as the tuning goes, we will keep it pretty much the same as for the 1/24's. Everything is stock, besides the rear tire. Front tires with super glue, magnets out, etc.. Since these cars have inline motor configuration, and I'm not a big fan of the motor shaft holding the axle in place, I will explain my personal preference to anybody that is interested. It doesn't cost any money, just some super glue and time - tire truer is needed though.

Will keep you up to date on the choice of tire compound and hope you start looking in the meantime which car you are going to get first! 

See you at the races!

Cheers!
