EHR Goes Slot Car Drag Racing 8/4/23

With a crowd of spectators and a 16 car field of racers ranging in age from 6 year olds to retired guys, we had a busy, fun and exciting night drag racing our 1:24th scale slot cars at Peachtree Dragway in Murphy, NC. After the 2 bracket races we switched to some hot pro tree action with the lights off. Everyone loved it. The only bummer for me was that I wasn't able to catch the amazing crash between my fuel altered and my AWB Falco A/FXer. The Altered jumped sideways onto its left side and the Falcon drove through it. Parts showered everywhere as the two cars rolled and tumbled. The Falcon was fine. The altered... not so much. I was able to glue it back together, but noticed that a stuck wheelie bar wheel caused it to hook left. So I went with the trusty Wild One Tempest AWB. I red lit once and broke out once and flat lost twice. Since I was back in the storage box and Rusty's car broke a chassis weld I loaned him the Pontiac. It ran consistent .77-.76 seconds at mid 30mph in the scale 1/8 mile. Rusty weeded through the competition and ended up the overall winner for the night. We race 1st and 3rd Fridays from 5pm on. If you're close swing in. We incorporated a cruise night with it, so we can talk over hot rods between rounds.
