Norther Star Council Race today

Post by davet »

Thanks all. We made it to 4th place at our Council race today. We have over 3,000 scouts in my boys' rank. .0002 seconds separated 4th from 5th and .0010 seconds between 4th and 3rd after combining the times from 6 heats. Not bad for an aircraft carrier.
A couple times we were 1/2 car length behind the lead car after the transition and we eeked him out on the straight. Without the help and advice from you guys we wouldn't have gone as aggressive on our COM.

Thanks again Lightninboy for the rear alignment method!!

From what I've heard of the North Star Council race, 4th place is excellent. Congrats Team Davet (and mentor Lightninboy)!
