Tach Race 2013 Class Photo, All Individual Entries, and Final Race Recap
Hey Everyone,
I wanted to do a final post/wrap-up, and see if Jacob could save it as a Sticky for members to access.
I do apologize for the delay, but caught several mistakes right as I was getting ready to turn it loose, and had to back up and double check all the other photos to make sure I labeled them correctly. It's not been a good two weeks for me and my computer.
Tach Race 2013
Unlimiteds
Mouse
Novice
Outlaw .020 Class
Unlimited
Stock .020
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prizes and Awards from:
Matt @ Ex Model Engines
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bernie @ Cox International
Gift Certificates for the 1st ($50), 2nd ($25), and 3rd ($10) Place winners in Unlimited, Mouse, and Novice:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can promise that I did my level best to give everyone a fair run. The shop was kept at 'shirt-sleeve' temps the whole time, and having the indoor test stand was a GIANT improvement over last year's race.
I just held a drawing for for the engines generously donated by Bernie at Cox International, and Matt at Ex Model Engines. My friend Patti graciously volunteered to be the "Official Drawer", and here are the results.
Bernie's "Terminator" Engine.....Bob Dickerson
Bernies Gift Certificates are awarded across the Classes for 1st ($50), 2nd ($25), and 3rd ($10) placing.
Matt's Unlimited Entry was won by drawing by......Leanna Wescott
Matt's "Taipan Serpent" was won by drawing by.......Wayne Seivers
Matt's "Black Lynx" was won by drawing by...........Ron Cribbs
Matt's 12/12 "Christmas Bee" goes by drawing to.....Mark Boesen
Since the "Outlaw .020" was sort of a last-minute deal, the winners of that competition get bragging rights on this lap. If I do the Race again next year, I'll be glad to include these little guys.

Very nice macro work on the engines, thanks.
Rons Babe Bee is interesting and Bobs engine has a large cylinder shim, whats up with that?

Thanks Phil! It's really just a "stick with an engine on it", posed in front of the backside of some airshow posters. I've got a little Samsung camera that I use, and it does all the work...along with helping me keep records of whose engines are whose. When I get a package, I immediately remove the engines, lay them on top of the mailing label, and take a photo for reference.

Doug, That's a KK shim holder you see. Sort of a cup that holds the shim(s) in place and actscrankbndr wrote: Bobs engine has a large cylinder shim, whats up with that?
as a .005" shim itself.

Yep...every engine received a drop of Bernie's After Run Oil in it's intake and exhaust ports, and was then wrapped in a section of blue paper towel before being repacked.
Also, I tried to remove as much residual fuel as possible from the tanked engines, but they should be checked once they're back home.

Tanks Bob I was wondering, I do have a lot of trouble with those shims. They seem to deform and not work well when I tighten the cylinder.
I wind up removing em and through in the trash with a few words

You take better care of my engines than I do, all wrapped in a little blanket and oiled.

Me too, Rusty,
So far, I'm waiting for yours, Wayne's, Doug's, Matthew's, Mark's and Sotiris' engines to make it home. I THINK Ron got his, but forgot to check it off.

Thanks Kim, I'm glad to know others are moving slowly too. Those ponies don't run as fast as they used to.
