Pony Wars - Camaro vs Mustang
Saturday, January 31st, 2015
Hi Guys,
I've been tinkering with some Camaros lately and thought it would be fun to have a little Chevy vs Ford race...that is, Mustang vs Camaro. The cars can be any era, but each racer will have one Camaro and one Mustang.
The Rules:
- Each racer will have one Camaro and one Mustang from any era...plus, an optional third car, which must also be a Pony Car (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony_car)
- All cars must have drilled rivets (modded)
- 40 grams
- 1.3" high, 3.15" long, orange track wide
- No Funny Cars
- Any Wheels
- Not Manditory, but let's try to do 'team' paint schemes (paint the cars in a similar way)
Any input on the rules? Is 40 grams good for everybody?
Heat 1 (1/31/15) Traction Event - MICHIGAN
Heat 2 (2/7/15) LJLRC - RHODE ISLAND
Heat 3 (2/14/15) Delta 6 - WASHINGTON
Heat 4 (2/21/15) Model40Fan - MAINE
Heat 5 (2/28/15) 72_Chevy_C10 - NEW JERSEY

truth be known, I don't care for either Mustangs or Camaros... but, I really like the modd racing here... go c10 go!
You might want to re-think that, Smitty, the ladies seem to like this Mach I Mustang...
Hey Cameron,
I want this to be a drilled rivet/modded race...just so you know. I forgot to put that in the rules (I just added it)...If your cars are modded (drilled), you are very welcome to the race!
I want to try to keep the cars kinda uniform for the 'end of season' race next year!
- with a 40g limit, I'm pretty sure FOTF knew what he was signing up for...looking forward to the build..race..trophy girls...a guy can dream? — Traction-Event
- great food at the canteen if you end up losing early like me... — model40fan
- No; I'd hoped stockers would be allowed as well (I was considering asking about whether I'd get to enter a 41-gram stock Camaro that I have) — FOTF
- I don't see what'll be at all uniform about the finals cars whether they're drilled or not, but thanks for addressing this before race day. — FOTF
Just a little holiday Pony Wars color...
- the elves or i are on vicodin, isn't that a trans am ? — model40fan
- Dang it, I had the same 2 cars picked, and drilled...Hmm back to the drawing board — Traction-Event
- nope...'70 Camaro — 72_Chevy_C10
- those aren't my final cars, so go ahead and build them! — 72_Chevy_C10
- i have to go 64 to 68 stangs and 67,8,9 marroz... — model40fan
- They are all available, Smitty...and pretty good choices! — 72_Chevy_C10
what about stangs n' marroz with "lost " hoods... ? ... '65 stang convert n' '67 marro coupe ?
I found a marro with a hood... red, flamed, yellow glass, black walls, 1982 manufacturer... before I drill it it, is it worth anything ?
looking for '65 stangs and found this closed hood marro ;
- You shouldn't have a guilty conscience drilling it..... in that shape it's not worth much. Drill it! — KandORacing
- that first Camaro....needs a diet...metal/metal...gotta be 48g... — Traction-Event
- workin' on one o those now. — Nightstalker
- and yup, too heavy. — Nightstalker
Found a teal, WWW, '65 Stang with the windshield snapped off, '55 Gasser wheelbase, rear body pin / base hole lines up...
Welding wire roll bar, HW blister windscreen, lead weight and a tonneau to come...
.... Low Class Pony Gas ?
Fairly easy body swap, engine, interior and trunk trimmed to fit ;
Do the cars require the factory chassis under them or can another Camaro's chassis be used?
- It's a mod race...you can put a '34 ford frame under it if you want :) — 72_Chevy_C10
- Sweeeeet. I'm gonna jump in on this one — KandORacing
Why don't we make a third car be optional...and it doesn't have to be a Chrysler. The third car can be any brand...if you want a second Chevy or Ford, you can, or any other Pony car...AMC, Pontiac, Buick, Mercury, etc...as long as it's a Pony Car...any era.
And, if I do a team points award, only the two best cars on your team will count toward your total score.
Does that sound good? Any comments before I change the first post?
- i would recomend the 3rd car be a pony car...from that car maker. — Traction-Event
- yeh, pony ... any brand... i like best 2 of 3 scoring, i can use any help... — model40fan
- Done...optional third car, which needs to also be a 'Pony Car' — 72_Chevy_C10
I can host 1st round or anywhere else....
Team paint...hmmmm ok
