(re named event) 7 GATES LADDER CLIMB.. Playlist of first 2 laps and sideshows Uploaded to YouTube.

Jump to first page

All cars have passed the weight in.  Due to not enough outside participation, we have entered all of the cars we have customized.  The rule of Non Hotwheels castings with Coloured wheels would have left us with only 3 or 4 cars to race.  I even aloud a car that fell 3 grams under the minimum 50g weight.  We, (my brother and I), are beginner builders, so, I do not expect us to have too much of a home track advantage.  

I have uploaded the weight in video to my YouTube Channel. 

I have uploaded the Practice lap to YouTube and Facebook.  The Practice Lap, sets the starting order for the Qualifying Lap. Both of these laps are Non Eliminatetion laps.  Qualifying Lap will be filmed as soon as the weather cooperates again.   Today the wind is too much. The wind will just cause the phone mic to make a lot of noise.

Qualifying Lap is uploading!!  To YouTube. I will also upload to the Facebook page.

Unfortunately I sometimes have a problem with hitting the stop button instead of the pause button.  Therefore there is 2 Videos to watch.  Part one is around 3 plus minutes and part two is just over 24 min.  Please enjoy our version of Reality TV. 

Spring rains have inandated the track with flood conditions. Strong winds have blown debris all over Snow Leopard Mountain Range.  Lighting storms have just added to the Majesty of it all. 

The first Elimination Lap will commence as the weather permits us to do so.

Regularly I post weather updates and track condition reports to YouTube.  Stay Up-to-date. We have tried several times film the first Elimination Lap. 1 time we got 4 cars down the run and were rained out.  2nd time landlord/farmer came with his kids, we raced bigger indistructable cars for them. Another time, I got 9 cars on the lap and I ran out of data on my SD card. We forgot to use spare phone to capture where all the cars finished. So, when I found a different SD card a couple of days later.... And it has been raining off and on and patchy sunny, thunder and lightning, hail...

So.  We working on finishing the races.  Please stand by.

UPDATE!! Yes!! Re-filmed,  Practice Gate Lap and Qualifying Start Lap have been uploaded along with the Pre Game Show of Premium RR to explain the rules and track function. Also 16 SHORTS of the Center Valley Drag Reopened announcement as a side show. All in the same playlist.  I have filmed the Jump Start Lap, the Death Box Start Lap, and the Extreme Start Lap. These three laps are just waiting for me to have time to upload them to YouTube. I am currently waiting for the weather to cooperate long enough for me to last finishing clear coat sealants on in order to film the last and final lap. Alpine Start Lap. 

Unfortunately I have run out of storage space as well, and not enough money available to buy more MICRO SD CARDS.. 

I will be focusing on uploading the three laps filmed in the meantime. Be on the look out.

I have been struggling with many issues around getting the tournament finished.  The weather has been the nearly coldest summer on record, causing more rain and troubleing wind than normal for this area.  I have filmed ever lap except for the final one.  The ALPINE START.  I believe I have uploaded JUMP START & DEATH BOX START.  I have been doing all kinds of other stuff along the way to fill the time between time.   

As of late, My brother and I have also spent the summer racing just about 1000 cars each. This is to find cars capable of being consistent on the DINO RUN.  First we start with a rubber made tote lid full and run Qualifying. Here the cars drop cars from the Practice Gate to set the feild. Than drop cars from the Qualifying Gate. Cars must make it past Check point 7 or be eliminated. We allow for discrepancies and race some 2 car sets a maximum of 3 attempts.  Usually these are for, what we call, fist fighting or driver misconduct.  From here we go to the PRO START, cars must get past Check point 8 or be eliminated Here they can have a maximum of 2 attempts, but we are very tough about alloweing them.  Finally we drop from the PRO START 1 more time and the cars must make another Check Point 8, or be eliminated with no allowances at all.  After nearly a hundred cars we are usually left with give or take 10 cars. 

All of the cars that get collected from this now go on to complete a points sheet. 12 cars to a sheet and two sheets. The cars race a 7 PRO LAPS and accumulate as many points as possible.  From these results, all cars capable of reaching 70 points and over, move on to ELITE CLASS.  I personally have over 70 Bone stock cars ready to race the next step. 

The next step is to race all of the 70 to 99 points cars in a new 7 PRO LAPS tournament.  Here it is expected that we can show how clean and smooth the final DINO RUN TARMAC coatings are.  

It has been a struggle to get all of the cars qualified and point sheet raced first, before closing the track down for a week to apply the final colour coat and Tarmac sealent for the year.  

We still have 3 sheets to finish. 

It is my expectation to get all these cars done on the same surface so all of them have the same fare chance.  

All of the cars with 100 points and over, and there are plenty, ( the leading record holder has 205.++ Points) will be used as drones for a summer finally tournament. The drones will also be prizes for the winning drivers.

I did have a post up. I spent 3 hours finishing it, only to have the website decide that I needed to sign back in an lost everything.  I have been working up the effert to start again. 

Ok, so why am I telling you all of this. If no one mails in cars, we will use the best scoring cars from this tournament along with any new builds we might have.  This tournament will run much quicker. We are not trying to put on new paint coats between each lap. The tarmac will be finalized.  

So, if you read this far down, you may all mail in cars earlier. Or just get the heads up. I am also suggesting that your mail-in's have some form of suspension. I have recently built a vintage Majorette with hot wheels, geussed weight is over 70 grams, under 90 grams, and it is a rocket and almost always makes the "Upper Deck" into Outerspace. This is where collecting 20 space points is. 

Be on the look out for a show and tell video.  I am back to fill time work too, so I am going to stash $100 Canadian as a bonus prize for the first car to reach the $100 Vegas playing card mounted at the top of the OutterSpace Ramp.
