Cops-n Robbers 3 Videos and Results
Chris, I'll take a pic and text it to you, probably tomorrow night. Cars arrived yesterday. I got home late so I didn't inspect them. I'll look at them tonight to make sure everything is okay and try putting together the brackets.
Between this afternoon and tonight I'll get the racing in. I can't do video so it'll be old school reporting. I did take pics of the staring line ups and will send them to Chris as he's helping me out with posting them.
My track is a DT Expert Racer model. Fresh Duracell batteries have it running smoothly. Total race length is 15 feet. Starting height is 36" and the angle is about 45 degrees.
I have to run out for a bit so I'll post the line ups when I get back.
Today's venue...Seekonk Speedway :)...

Stroller just asked me something that I didn't explain.
With a 12-car field, 3 cars get a bye in the first round...and since it is a small field, I'm giving those cars a point, basically for getting through round one.
So, if you see you got a point, even though you might not have won, it's because your car was lucky enough to get a bye...and a point!

I can't get over how consistent and even this track is. Racing was very close. Granted the times are based on my reaction time but for the most part if a car won in the right lane by .02 it won in the left lane by .02.
Margin of Victory
.01 = bumper
.02 = quarter car length
.03 = one half car length

Sorry about that!
