This is the result from the Nordic Vintage Challenge.
It was close racing in the end, epically in 2WD and 4WD for first and second place. I was amazed how fast this car runs on this indoor “Mickey Mouse” carpet track. The guy that ended up second in 4WD told me that he was faster with his Top Force EVO than he is with his modern car and hotter motor on this track. He said “fist thing Monday morning I will order a milder motor for my modern car” and so he did.
For me that hadn’t been driving sins VONats this Mickey Mouse track is a bit scary, there is only room for small driver’s error, the walls are hard and there was a gigantic jump on the straightaway. I had to change the front homemade steel axle twice on the Tomahawk, but nothing ells broke on the car.
Driving with rubber slicks on the carpet was a new experience for me. Back in the days we used 1:8 scale foam tires for indoor carpet race and tire traction additive vas not allowed in 1:10 buggy. Whit todays rubber slicks you are allowed to use odorless tire traction additive. This gives you dam good traction, I did some wheelies with my Scorpion. The downside is that you have to clean the tires with Bräkleen (brake cleaner) and a towel. If you don’t clean the tires after every heat you will end up with a slippery car (like a wet soup). The guys who race on a regular basis had glows; my black stains on my hands disappeared after a week… LoL
As you can see from the results, some guy drove in all 3 classes. And I don’t understand how they did manage that… because after your heat you have to be marshal for the next upcoming heat, and we were only 6 heats in total, 2 in each class. I did 2 classes, and after the first round of finals I gave up my Turbo Scorpion in 2WD.
Now we looking forward to outdoor NVC-race in Oslo Norway.
So I'm wary pleased with the development so far...
