SD3 Bracket/Index system is born
It has been twenty days short of a year sence I wrote a blog. I am not sure of the sugnifigance of a blog. I do know that it sort of takes on a life of its own and blasts somewhere out there in cyber space. Today is a big day for us. We have not only released our SD3 Bracket/Index system but we started letting them out the door weeks ago. We have sold dozens and they have all soared like an eagle. Even with its short commings people are happy. That is why we choose to let it out, because we had so much fun with it. The only glitch is has is that there are no win lights in the event of a fault in the Bracket racing mode. But it is not nuclear physics to desypher the winner. The first contestant to fault looses. If a car red-lights it lost. If both car red-light, the one with the largest numaricle negative nunber looses. Example: a -.004 wins over a -.020. The same applies for break-outs. We will correct this discrepency with a free upgrade later this year. Until then just go, and go as fast as you can. Happy New Year!

Thank you
Everyone! I will be OK now. I can carry on. The SD3 Bracket/Index system will be out in about thirty days. I did some under handed things that I should not say on a public forum. Back any animal into a corner and it is going to bit you. Thank you for your support and giving me some teeth.

Death wish
I will complete the SD3 Bracket/Index system or it will be the end of me. This is no exageration, I have no money and all my credit is exhuasted. I am in a foreign country with no where to go and no money to get there. I have ten racing systems left and three SD4's. If they sell slow it will prolong my quest to sustain life. If they sell quicker, I can use the surplus income to buy parts for more machines. Have you ever wanted to save a life? Purchase a racing system from us today. Everything is upgradable to our future Bracket/Index ultimate racing game. I am very sorry to write this post.

SD3 Bracket/Index better
There seems to always be problems developing anything. It always has to be better. I had a vision, but sometimes our visions are beyond are capabilities. Dammit, oh yes sometimes good enough is best. So where do I draw that line? I want it to be the best that I can do but this holds up production. We need to finalize a product. And this has gone on for a freaking year! The SD3 racing system does everything to have a great day of racing. So what to do? I will release it to the public, if you do not absolutily fall in love with it simply send it back. I did what I could with what resourses  I had available. Thank you very much no matter what happens.

500 machines and SD3 Bracket/index racing

We have sold over 500 systems world wide to as follows: The United States of America, Australia, Canada, The United Kingdom, New Zealand, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Ireland, Tasmania, Malta, Greece, Thailand, China, South Africa, Switzerland, Austria, West Indies, and Brazil. We are targeting Argentina and Puerter Rico this year.

Regarding our new stand-alone Bracket/Index racing system, we have successfully enriched uranium u-235 and are within moments of making the bomb. We have a functioning prototype. We are now working on software that will allow upgrades for the old systems.

Newsletter

In December Dragon Racing Systems celebrated its fifth birthday. So I thought it might be well overdue to spam you with our very first newsletter!

 

This is proving to be our most challenging year. I seem to have risen to my highest level of incompetence. When we made the first one hundred of our original Slot Dragon machines they sold very well. We then had plastic injection molds made for all cosmetic parts and churned out enough to accommodate one thousand new systems.

 

About three months later we made the drag racing add-on accessory. Today  drag racing systems represent over forty percent of total sales.

 

About four months after that we came out with our photo eye sensors. Today they outsell all four of the other types we offer combined times eight!

 

Six months later we introduced the SD2 system. For the first time the company totally supported a meager living for my wife and I.

 

Then two years after that we lost all of our venture capital in a botched attempt to produce a four lane system. The main conundrum we face in regards to design and manufacture in Thailand is finding a company big enough to do the job, yet small enough to want it. And we had out grown the outfit that helped us with the first two systems. The SD4 worked OK approximately 98.5% of the time. And if it would have been our flagship product I would have released it to the public.  But I felt that the first two machines set a standard of flawless operation. So I choose not to compromise the reputation I worked so hard to achieve.

 

In the summer of 2015 we contracted with Comm Tech located in Portland Oregon to be a North American distributor and warranty center. They are also equipped with hardware/software to do all our upgrades.

 

Last year we had the best year ever as we targeted the Hot Wheels, and Auto World markets in a series of youtube videos. In fact we actually had enough cash flow to rekindle our efforts regarding the SD4. We found a new company and, using a faster Micro Processor IC with more on board memory, we turned out the SD4 in spectacular fashion. They look and work fantastic.

 

The only draw has been, so far sales have been something other than good. So those of you that frequent local slotcar clubs, please encourage the owner/manager to visit our website. I would appreciate that very much.

 

Hind sight being 20/20 I should have went ahead with the SD3 instead. I have always wanted this system from the very beginning. Never have a lop sided race again with ET bracket! Time trials, dial-inns, sportsman tree drop, and it would have been much less costly to produce as we could have employed the same mother board as with our previous versions. All we would have had to reinvent is the Christmas tree.

 

And because each system justifies/finances the design and creation of the next, it is a safe forgone conclusion that there is not a whole lot to do around here anymore. That is the real reason for the letter.

 

Another improvement worth mentioning is that about a year ago we changed to a different photo transistor in our Photo Eye Sensor Assemblies. It is more sensitive, requiring less light, has a flat top making for easier installation, and it is cosmetically superior. Its flat face makes a perfect flush fit with the surface of all plastic tracks. And its transparent design makes the transistor visible and thus giving the eye a pupil.

 

And lastly, as of last year we have gone with a thicker button membrane. If your machine needs a new membrane they are only seven USD. The original thickness was 0.16mm. The replacements are 0.25mm.

 

Well I think that gets us all caught up. Got any good pictures/videos of your raceway?

 

Happy tracks.

SD4 release

I am only waiting on the new, more efficient regulator and the software CD to come back from the labeling company.

All systems go.

The SD4 is working perfect. I will be spending the next few weeks testing, checking, double checking, and making the software disk that will come with the kit.

It will be available to the public sometime next month.

 

Thank you.
