Default Track Time
I was told Jim Ring was smiling from ear to ear the whole time he was driving the DRAGON on the track. Found a couple small issues but will be resolved pretty quick.

No. Wheel articulation was fine. I was told it was a bolt rubbing on the inner wheel hoop.

Corrected bolt and replaced the hoops...all is great!

Ring Brothers will be talking with Courtney with the Dragon front and center. Maybe she will touch it...

I think Mike may have been referring to the body roll moreso than wheel travel. It does seem to have a lot of roll given the speeds under which the pics were taken.

Car looks great in motion.

I'm sure if it was built for the track only it would have different spring ratings. I was just looking for a solid car on and off the track and that is just what I got!

Thanks

Good on you for taking it out for some thrashing!
I gotta say I'm pleasently suprised, most cars of this quality sit exclusively on pedistals in overly decorated garages.
Very, very cool!
Are you going to any other events this year with the car? I'd love to see it in person.
