Pax Stereo Racing Team Presents: Omari Bakari, Team Leader and Test Driver for the “Mod Squad”

WHO:

Omari Bakari, a dedicated and accomplished racer, is at the forefront of Pax Stereo’s newly launched racing team. As Team Leader, Omari combines technical knowledge, strategic racing instincts, and hands-on experience to bring out the best in each vehicle. He is not just a test driver but the key figure behind the team’s success, guiding the development of the cars with meticulous testing, insightful feedback, and innovative strategies. Omari’s racing pedigree, combined with a passion for precision and performance, makes him the ideal leader to drive the “Mod Squad” to victory.

WHAT:

The “Mod Squad” is more than just a collection of slot cars—it’s a revolution in 1/32 scale Carrera digital racing. Each car starts as a stock Carrera model but is then transformed through the hands of slot car guru Mario Hemsley, who personally updates, maintains, and fine-tunes each vehicle to ensure optimal performance. Mario’s modifications include:

• Chassis Adjustments: Custom tuning to enhance the car’s handling and balance.
• Enhanced Magnet Placement: Strategic installation of magnets to improve stability and cornering speed.
• Body Flexing: Tailored adjustments to increase flexibility, allowing for better weight distribution and improved track adhesion.
• Precision Tuning: Every car undergoes detailed customization to optimize speed, control, and overall racing performance.

These modifications are not hidden behind closed doors. Mario openly discusses each design upgrade online, encouraging interaction and feedback from the global racing community. He records every change in the SmartRace software, which tracks extensive statistics on each car’s use, setups, and performance metrics. This data-driven approach ensures that each vehicle’s evolution is based on real-world performance insights, leading to continuous enhancements and adaptations.

The “Mod Squad” isn’t just about raw speed—it’s about refined engineering. Each car is tested rigorously by Omari, who pushes every modification to its limits. His feedback plays a crucial role in further refining the cars, making him an indispensable part of the vehicle development process.

WHERE:

All the action happens at View Park Raceway, the team’s home base. This 36.28-foot Carrera digital track is a technical marvel, designed to challenge both drivers and cars. It features:

• Pit Lane Refueling: A realistic touch that simulates fuel management, adding a strategic layer to each race.
• Multiple Crossovers: These critical points test the cars’ agility, requiring precise handling and control.
• Adaptive Sections: Varying track segments that emphasize acceleration, cornering, and braking, making it a perfect testing ground for the “Mod Squad.”

View Park Raceway isn’t just a track; it’s a proving ground where cars and drivers are continuously pushed to excel. Omari’s testing sessions here are critical to evaluating each modification, fine-tuning car setups, and preparing the “Mod Squad” for competition.

WHEN:

The countdown is on for the premier racing event at View Park Raceway. Leading up to the event, Omari conducts regular, intensive testing sessions to ensure that each “Mod Squad” vehicle is in peak condition. The race will showcase not only the cars’ capabilities but also Omari’s skills as a driver and strategist. These events are just the beginning, as the Pax Stereo Racing Team plans to host regular races, demonstrations, and community events, all designed to engage slot car enthusiasts and inspire a new generation of racers.

WHY:

The Pax Stereo Racing Team, spearheaded by Omari and Mario, has a clear mission: to set new standards in digital slot car racing. It’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible—whether through innovative car modifications, data-driven performance analysis, or the dynamic racing environment of View Park Raceway. By freely sharing design insights and engaging with the racing community online, the team fosters an inclusive culture of learning and competition.

Every “Mod Squad” vehicle is designed not only to compete but to excel, embodying the spirit of continuous improvement. The open discussions about upgrades and the meticulous recording of performance data allow for constant evolution, ensuring that each car is a finely tuned machine ready to tackle any challenge.
