- Wagon war...yup — Traction-Event
- wagon war! I'm in! — 72_Chevy_C10
- Hmmm? Okay! — Stroller
- YUP!! — Stroller
Let's do it, I've got something in mind......
Could Johnny Lightning wheels be allowed? Trust me, I'm not thinking about running a stocker, they just look like nicer wheels.
- you would be fine but we have a racer that stretches the rules on rivets — model40fan
- Smitty, this is getting old. If you have a problem with Cameron entering stockers you need to PM him and not complain about it here. — KandORacing
- I thought the guy that ran the race makes the rules.....Stroller — Stroller
WAGON WARS!!! We'll need to define what is a wagon...very specificly....

rules moved to the first comment this topic...
Did someone say "Wagon Wars"?
Is a hearst a wagon?
- if hearst is painted on a wagon, yep ! — model40fan
- oh, wait did you mean "hearse" like dead people haulers ? i say yes — model40fan
- Yeah I was talking about a hearse. I have one that was a JL I think. — FatMike
I'm in!
tinkering in the shop....lots left to do....but I'm really liking the Wagon idea. 34 Ford base...minor clearence issues...mr Dremmel can fix those...

Hmmmmm..... the sloppies need another wagon ;
- Go Smitty!!!! Mine is to heavy as is sits...I'll wait for official rules and post.. — Traction-Event
I just wanted to check, before I started tinkering...are these both considered Wagons?
Thanks!
Chris
- the chrome woodie yes, the midnight otto is a two door sedan... thanks for checking... — model40fan
- Thanks Smitty! That's what I thought! — 72_Chevy_C10
Rules ? ... nows the time ... speak up ... your ideas wanted.
- The rules you listed earlier sound pretty good...my only comment is the 45 grams is a little light, but, I can make it work. — 72_Chevy_C10
- Yup, same here...want to make the rules easy for new racers... not intimidating. I can shed weight also, well on the car at least — Traction-Event
- i thought most bases would be plastic and didn't want them to have to add grams... lets go 50 Gs. — model40fan
- 50G sounds good to me...I would have had to lighten the Woody to make 45G — 72_Chevy_C10
390 cubic inches of FoMoCo iron... gutta git dem brats to the beach !
