Bare Muscle 3
the sloppies don't test, but they and the prize files headed to sussex this AM...
go RLD racers go !
On their way!
The cars are starting to roll in...I got cars from Traction Event and Voxxer Racing today. I already have cars from Eastbound...and I know that cars from Fordman (Smitty), Delta 6, and Wizard of Oz are on their way.
Finkle and K & O won't be competing. And I am waiting to hear back from 2Seven, JDC442 and EconoCarl to see if they will be making the race.
I'll be off from work next week (it was already a short week and my birthday is on the 1st!), so I'll have everything ready to roll by raceday!
Keep'em coming, Guys!
- ... happy 75th C10...LVL laughing very lowd ! — fordman
- Hehe! 49th is had enough, Smitty! — 72_Chevy_C10
Just finished these guys up. They'll be in the mail tomorrow.
- Awesome! — 72_Chevy_C10
- The field of cars is certainly looking good — Eastbound357
- I see someone else did an easy build with the Fastback FTE. — MoHasAFastCar
I'm running behind, but will do my best to have them in by the 4th, even if I have to overnight 'em.
Must trust the jig!
- Awesome! I'll be looking forward to seeing them! — 72_Chevy_C10
- Gettin' jiggy with it!! — CrzyTrkrDude
- magin' dat... an upsidedown 442 grill... — fordman
Two more teams showed up today...Fordman and MoHasFastCars. I haven't opened any of the boxes up because they have all looked to be in good condition. I'll start opening them and checking the cars over this weekend.
I'll be building some cars this weekend as well...I've been super lazy about getting these cars built. I guess I've been tryin to much to make speed with the bearing car!
I'll start taking some 'preview pics' one a few more teams roll in. One of the perks of getting your cars here early is that you'll see your cars in some fun pics :)
Done!!! One race I'd hate to miss out on brothers!
Will ship these first thing tomorrow.
A couple 'work in progress' shots. My 'B' team is going to have a hired gun driving...a professional driver...CrzyTrkrDude! And this will be his 40 gram car...

Provided, that is, it has some speed. Can you guess the chassis? And no, it isn't my standard Chrysler 300 (that's under the Hemi Challenger above!)
- go crazy hemi dude go... — fordman
- Hey, C10, THANKS MAN!! I can hear it at the line now.... Deep growl saying. 'CudacudacudacudacudacudaCUUUUDDDDAAAAHHHHHH (SHIFT) — CrzyTrkrDude
- CUUUDDAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH(shift) CUUUDDAHHHHHHH ( sound fades as it takes the win!!!!! ) — CrzyTrkrDude
- No problem, Boone...it's an M2 Cuda body that I had...it should look good when done — 72_Chevy_C10
- I'm sure it'll make us proud!! THANKS AGAIN!???? — CrzyTrkrDude
I opened up the packages that I have so far received, and looked the cars over. There are a couple cars pushing the weight limits, but no pink cars to report as of yet!
Good looking cars, Guys...can't wait to get the rest of the field here and run them next weekend!
I just want to be PERFECTLY CLEAR, before I run this race that everyone understands that this race is a WINNER TAKE ALL race (or, as Brian would prefer I call it, A Pink Slip race). The winner of the 40 gram class gets all the 40 gram cars and the winner of the 57 gram class gets all the 57 gram cars.
I'm pretty sure I spelled that out early on, but I want to be sure that we are all clear on this point. The reason that I bring this up is because several people have included shipping money with their cars...if this money is to help with the shipping of the cars to the winner, then I truly appreciate your help with the shipping costs.
But, if you sent shipping money, thinking that you will get your cars back, please understand that the ONLY WAY TO GET YOUR CARS BACK IS TO WIN THE RACE. If you do not want to race in a Winner Take All race and you have sent your cars in, I'm more than happy to send your cars back to you.
I apologize for having to make this overly clear, but I have had an incident in the past where I was very clear that an event was a winner take all and yet, someone wanted their cars back after the race.
I looked through the earlier posts in this thread and it looks as though some are missing in regards to this subject...I don't know where posts go...if they were removed or if they just went 'poof' for some reason. But let me say again, THIS RACE IS A PINK SLIP RACE...UNLESS YOU WIN, YOU NOT GET YOUR CARS BACK.
Thanks Guys!
- I'm fine with a winner takes all race, and do remember these races being set up that way. I actually forgot this detail and sent $10 with — JDC442
- my cars. And you're right, there is nothing in your top post about 'winner take all' for this one. Might want to add that in — JDC442
- somewhere if it's gone missing. Thanks! — JDC442
- racing for pinks is the rule... — fordman
I understand that this is winner take all win, you have to win to get your car(s) back, I explained that to my 5yr old son as well. That's why he chose the '71 challenger because he has a million of them. Race those green roof champions!
- in any case that a sloppy wins i want the cars to go to EB357s 5 year old... go lil' rascal go ! — fordman
- Thank you Smitty!!! He is super excited and wanted me to tell you Thank you Fordman!!!!! — Eastbound357

My 40g is faster than my 57g...thought about building a new 57g but then figured I didn't want to upset anyone by winning both races ;)
In the mail today if Mrs. Mo remembers. A bit more metallic brown than copper for the roof. There's a prize for the top finishing (but non-winning) GTO that I didn't include since cars aren't being returned there's no box that C10 would already be sending you. I'll send to the winner directly. What is it? Something like insurance.
