For the Kids Custom Race-2013

Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox

Can enter as many cars as you wish.
All cars must be from the 2013 Hot Wheels main line release and can be easily found at any retail store.

A list of 2013 Main Line Releases can be found here:
http://texashwcollectors.org/hwguide/2013.html

Mod only, no stock entries. Any modification is acceptable; the rivets must be drilled out.
Each car must weigh no more than 35 Grams (1.2 ounces). No lead weights are allowed.
CARS MUST BE LESS THAN 3.5” LONG.
CARS MUST BE LESS THAN 1.25” TALL.
ONLY "DRY" LUBES ARE ALLOWED.

Races will be run in two parts.
1. Qualifying race on the Triple C Short Track (2 foot high starting gate and 17 foot track) on Friday, June 7th. This race will determine the top 32 cars that will advance to the championship round and will determine the seeding for the Championship race.
a. Any person submitting a car(s) where no cars make it into the top 32 cars in the qualifying race, their fastest car on the Triple C Short Track will be given a provisional. There will be a maximum number of 32 provisional's given, if needed.
2. Championship Race will be run Saturday, June 8th, on the orangetrackracing.org league racetrack (50-foot track). Single elimination races of two cars each.
a. The exception will be any cars that are given provisional’s. They will be matched up in a three-car race, possibly four depending on the number of provisional’s being granted.
3. The winner of the Championship Race, will have their car returned to them and will also include a winners package.

All losing cars will be donated to the kids that race in our racing league, assuming they are still in good condition after the races. Any cars not in good condition will be discarded of. They won’t be able to race them as we don’t run customs, (why I want the rivets drilled out), but they would know they have a very unique car that can’t be found elsewhere and may inspire their own customization of cars.

Sweet! Making the Kool Kombi, even Kooler!

Started weighing some of the 2013 cars that we have. If anyone has a question on a certain cars weight, I will see if I have it to weigh it.

Will be stopping this week to find some cars that I have ideas for.

I Will Enter This Event.

can't wait !

Last night as I was looking through my donated wheels I thought the same thing, I wonder how many of the prized FTEs will be used as I had decided against it myself for that same reason. Which could make for an interesting race!

I'm sorry to say that I probably won't be entering this; I don't do much modifying, and I can't usually find much time to--but I'm already entering one event where I'll almost certainly lose one of my few mods. Hope you get a good turnout!

Here is the first one I am starting with.

Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox

For now, I am planning on four cars. We'll see if I get that far.
