Okay, you will notice a few things.  Here are the answers to the possible questions.

Two entries have the cargo taped, not glued.  In the interest in having a decent number of entries they are being allowed to race.  In the event the cargo falls off they will receive a disqualification.

Two entries are quite a bit taller than the 1.3".  My track, as well as the LJLRC track, and Smitty's do not have the drag track finish line, so no problem.  They will just not be able to run on the drag tracks and will get a DNR.  

I am working on the bracket now, and with any luck will get it posted shortly.  Between problems with the Kodak program I use to download the pics shutting down on me several times, the PIA it is to get them to Photobucket and re-size them for here, and then getting timed out and having to start again, this has taken me two hours.  I hope you guys have a little more patience than I do.  lol


  • okay which ones are too tall??...:) — Stroller

The trucks look awesome! Good luck to everyone in the race!

I'm actually thinking about having a pickup truck race in conjunction with the 'City' series race this Fall. I'll post the details in another thread.

Again, Good Luck, Everybody!

Looks great so far Dadvbal!  I know that all of the work that can go in to presenting one of these races can be frustrating when having technical problems.  Thanks for the fantastic pics and have fun racing 'em!

Round 2

#13 DVB vs #11 FOTF

#13 FOTF wins the first by a nose.  DVB takes the second race by a nose.  And then FOTF takes the third race, eliminating a LJLRC associate, again by a nose.  Very close racing in this one.

Round 3

#11 FOTF vs #12 FOTF, otherwise know as the battle of the brothers.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f311/Dadvball/100_1125_zpsec3b1f22.jpg

#11 FOTF scores an easy 1-1/2 length victory in the first race, and then holds on to win the second race by a half length.


#4 Rally Case vs #2 Traction Event.  There was a little pushing and shoving as I was taking the pic.  TE's Fire Eater kept rolling into Rally's hauler, much like two prize fighters at the weigh-in.

Don't know if Rally's hauler was intimidated, but TE's #2 takes both races by a narrow 1/2 length.

This was the closest racing of the event.

#11 FOTF barely takes the first race by 1/4 length.

#2 Traction Event squeaks by at the finish by a nose.

#2 Traction Event takes the win by another 1/4 length finish.  It was bumper to bumper until the very end.


THE WINNER OF THE SEEKONK, MA, HAULER'S CUP - #2 TRACTION EVENT'S FIRE EATER!
