I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed yesterday. I am very excited and look forward to many more. Thanks for all of the help that you guys give the new guys to advance the individual participants and the sport. I must say that it is very intimidating making the jump to proxy from local racing but because of this forum it was little easier.
My advice to anyone that might be visiting this forum and want to take it to the next level is to ask a lot of questions here and you will get all the help you will need to get comfortable.

I'm glad we could be of help. We had a good time as usual. Everybody there is fun to be around. What we worked on was our Std Dev and we improved some of the cars quite a bit. Now we need to work on speed. See you next month.

Needle cars can be very tricky to say the least. Extra care needs to be had when shipping them. If they move at all in their containers the needles can be bent or the retainers pushed into the body. The same can be said for regular axle cars too. When packing them the car needs to be held securely in place. The car should not be able to move around at all in the container. Shipping boxes can be made from almost anything, 5Kids has posted a great write up on how to make your own shipping container. pwdracing.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=shipping&action=display&thread=3427Shipping containers can also be purchased from several online vendors. These are the ones I sell. shop.derbyevolution.com/Revolution-Shipping-Container-DE-SC.htmEvolution is right on about shipping needles. Using the box/foam method is the best and will keep them safe and sound. I have shipped many, many needle cars and have never bent or broke a needle. As Evolution said, the only problem I have found is if the car is loose in the foam you could get car shifting. When the rear shifts the needles poke into the cardboard. This isn't usually a problem for the needle, but it pushes the retainer in and locks the wheel. Hard to get a good time with a wheel locked in position. Just drill or cut a quarter sized hole in the box a the axle locations and the problem is solved!
