2015 RLD Outlaw Pro Stock Challenge results thread
Woohoo! Can't wait for results! I am very excited to host the finals here. And I even have my eyes on a car I'd like to try and purchase from the builder....
Fellas the link below is the entire bracket, I tired to film a new way and the material got jumbled so I'll try to work through it and post the video but didn't want you all to wait any longer for the results, congrats to the winner!!
The cars arrived today. I inspected them all carefully for damage.... I am amazed at all the paint chips on these cars. It looks as if someone just flung them all in a box together.
The Stawka's Toy Nova's rear axle popped loose and the wheels are hitting the fenders. I will take the car apart of re-glue the axle later today if Stawka gives me permission.
EDIT: I just noticed upon more careful inspection that delta6's Road Runner has a rear wheel bent up towards the fender a bit. It is allowing one of the "tabs" behind it under the chassis to rub the track surface. Please let me know if you would like me to try to straighten this out.
Other than that one injury, and the mass of paint chips, the cars seem to be fine. I ask that hosts PLEASE handle cars more carefully though... paint chips are a sign that things may have been dropped or hit.... and that can always result in wheel damage.

- All were in good shape when they left my place...and packed well! :) — 72_Chevy_C10
- I've seen videos of postal service workers deliberately mis-handling boxes before.... — KandORacing
- Give it a shot! — delta6
Well I'm very disappointed, I assure you all the cars were package with care the same way they were received. As someone who takes great effort in making cars and attempts to create a one of a kind pieces, I always take great care and respect all racers efforts. I don't know what else to say...

This is just my preference, but usually I'll carefully slice the blister pack open of the car that I'm going to modify. When I'm done building it for a race I just ship it back inside the blister that it came out of. It must be a problem because I always get them back loose. Again, that's just my preference.
TE's right. In a perfect world the cars would never get hammered and everyone's backstop would be a miniature foam pit where the cars never come in contact with each other at the finish line, but oh well.
Thanks for hosting guys.
Enjoy the video of Round 1 match ups and the site where it will all go down!
