Slot.it Shootout
This is a single proxy race between Slot.it RTR slot cars on my targa track. The shootout will take place on November 15, 2006. Basically, any Slot.it RTR car can be modified with Slot.it parts.
My track is a three lane, mdf, routed track with 7/32 copper tape. Top coat is flat latex enamel. Slot is 1/8" x 9/32". Race voltage will be set at 10 volts on the Pyramid P/S. Controller is a PM 2048. Timing software is Trakmate and UR 3.0, with sensor harness used to activate timing software. Cars will be raced in the counter clockwise direction. Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place cars of the Slot.it Shootout.
Race format is yet to be determined.
Entry fee will be only how much it costs to get your car here and back home to you. All prizes are donated by me.
Information pertaining to the Slot.it Shootout will be posted here and on SCI,http://slotcarillustrated.com/portal/forums/showthread.php?p=77559#post77559
