I need updated on 1/24th scale electric drag racing

I was into electric drags in the 60s when R&C magazine held thos national drag championships and the magazines had bunches off articles on races and how-tos. I lost track over the years but have heard that things have changed a bunch.

Back then Pittman 85 and Ram 50 plate and magnet motors ruled. Top fuel 36V cars were just hitting 1second runs. I have heard that can motors rule nowadays and 1 second cars don't even make the field any longer. Is there a place on the web where I can get up to speed on this topic?

Check out www.bracket500.com

All the info as well as links to the major chassis manufacturers, and such. The really outrageous fast cars will be under 1 second, but there is much more fun in bracket racing. Any motor and chassis setup will be fast at any time, because of the index.

Nowadays, their into cobalt magnet motors, and they are the fast cars. But, any ol' 16D is great for bracket racing.

That website will give you plenty of info and links to more.

Hope that helps.
