I have to say, the mock up looks pretty cool...

It will probably be too short to make enough speed, but it looks cool :)

With veterans like EconoCarl back in action and now Traction Event joining the melee, and also having been schooled by Aircooled and some of the younger guys in the first race, I figured now is the time to get serious -it is the Pro Series after all.

With this GT race running next month and the Bare Muscle 3 competition happening in June, I decided to spend the afternoon creating a modding work space to see if I can build something a little more competitive.  Wish me luck guys!


A good excuse to clean up my desk ;)


  • I posted a video of the space (started a thread) to bring in some of the details -a few of my previous builds featured in the display case. — JDC442
  • The next Pro Series is also in June, Truck-O-Rama 3 — redlinederby
  • Helpful hint offered: get a more comfy chair. you'll enjoy your new space more. LOOKS PERFECT OTHERWISE!!!!! — CrzyTrkrDude
  • Look at how clean it is! You need about 43 half assembled cars on there :) — 72_Chevy_C10
  • In time C10, in time ;) — JDC442

Hey Smitty!! I got an "Outlaw" Porsche for ya if you want? I'm not saying it's got the stance for speed but it made me think of you. :-)

And, if anyone remembers how promising my R8 was a while back before it broke...I FOUND ANOTHER ONE! And it only cost $1! So, I'm in.

Hi Brian, my car arrived yesterday in great shape.  Also in the box was the so cool new first 2016 Tournament Winner Sticker and Redline Derby Racing sticker.  It was a great day for sure.  Thanks again for all you do to make this hobby so much fun.

What this race needs is some good natured smack talking...


Rumor has it, Aircooled has been wearing this shirt all around town... :)  Wooo!

  • So, no pressure, then :) — 72_Chevy_C10
  • That sure brings back some WWF TV time with our kids. All I can say is give it your best shot!! — aircooled

Shoooooot, I had 2 choices growing up in West Central Florida in the 70's...

In our house, you watched " Championship Wrestling from Florida, with Gordon Solie' as your host" or you sat on your thumbs in your room...

Steve Kern, Andre', Dusty, Ox Baker, all them. 



  • toro tanaka, george the animal steel, chief J strongbow... the sixties man... — fordman

I remember watching those guys Smitty. My dad was a huge fan and we'd watch every Saturday. Way back then Vince McMahon was a skinny little coward. Always looked like he was afraid he'd get beat up.

Don't forget Bruno Sammartino!


  • was at the Garden when Billy Grahm split Bruno wide open with a chair to get the title. — Nightstalker
  • The "WWWF" World Wide Wrestling Federation" Garden every month — Nightstalker
  • Billy Graham the evangelist? — JDC442
  • Superstar Bill Grahm — Nightstalker
  • Woah...now I'm jealous...Superstar vs Bruno at MSG, nice. — redlinederby
  • Went every month back then, got the tickets the next AM. — Nightstalker
