Bare Muscle 3

Pls return cars for BM 3.     I do not want them raced.    Thx.   Voxxer.     The reason  - last minute rules changed.     

Sorry about the misunderstanding, Voxxer...the posts early in this thread, talking about the race being WTA have disappeared  (and I'm pretty sure I originally had it listed that way in the rules...I don't know what happened there).

Your cars will go out tomorrow 

My 'A' team is finally set...

I couldn't find any speed in the '69 Nova  (it had a mean wiggle), so I put together a '66 Nova instead 

I won't be participating after all. Not really interested in a WTA race. Luckily had not sent my entries yet. Good Luck.

Good luck! Didn't realize this was WTA.......not interested. 

Dropping like flies...  You guys can always build more cars...  Support the racers who support you, enter and have fun with your toys!

Two teams leave, three teams show up. Boxes from JDC442, Delta 6 and CCRIDER were on the porch when I was heading to the post office with Voxxer's cars.  I'll open them up when I get back home...the boxes looked fine.

I don't really understand not wanting to race in a WTA race, myself, since these are just Hot Wheels cars, worth a couple bucks...and chances are, the winning cars are probably just going to be going to someone's kid! But, to each there own...I'm just trying to put on fun races! And I didn't want anyone crying when they didn't get their cars back.

It's still going to be a good race, Guys...I'm looking forward to it!

I'm sure if you're an experienced racer you have a chance to win all the cars. If you're new and learning there really is know draw to donating your car regardless how little they cost. Pink slip races in real life are rare not common. Have fun and good luck.

I opened up the cars from Delta 6, JDC442 and CCRIDER...Beautiful cars, Guys! Really nice work, across the board! I'm going to work hard to do these cars justice in the pics...and Delta 6, I love the AMX (but, you probably knew that!)

Open Letter:

I have tried to think, of a positive way, to make my point in following post.  I figured just to be honest and let the chips fall where the may. 

I pulled out for two separate reasons.  First, for which I completely understand, some how the part that this was a WTA race went missing.  Things happen, no one died.  All Good.

Second, as most of you know, I spend at least 20 hours time, per car, that I make.  I go over, test, re-due, test again, make changes......etc.  If I need a tool to test, I make it, a good example is the Dyno I made.  I go for hours to stores, looking for specific wheels and wheels types.  I saved my receipts, for a one car race, to see how much actual dollar amount, I spent, to make a single car.  The grand total was $48.00 ish .  That was just for the wheels.  I only buy cars that I can use all 4 wheels.  That is about 198 wheels.  After MANY hours of check for balance, centered axle holes..... etc., I usually come up with about 10 - 12 actual racing wheels to use.   More testing, change wheels....test again.   If you have noticed on my wheels, I mark them... to show me that the are A+++ wheels.

The point I am making is this.   For me, and ME ALONE, the chance of loosing 4 race cars, adds up to a total around $200 for parts alone ( to replace wheels ), not including time.  So for me .. it is just a couple of bucks, does not apply.  

If the race prizes were, keep yours cars if you want.... please send in Treasure Hunts or White Lightning as substitutes...  I am all in.

I can look at this in two ways.  Some of us are crying.... or, the risk is too big.  I choose the later.

I totally understand, Jon. After seeing your cars, it is clear that you put a lot of work into your cars...I respect your decision to not race in this event. You'll notice that my 'bearing car' is not in the field...it is fast, but not quite where I want it to be. So, I don't want to risk losing it just yet :)

I take full responsibility for not noticing some of the early posts were gone. And, to be honest, I forget that not everyone has been racing on here for years. The Bare Muscle Races have always been WTA races, but I shouldn't assume everyone knows that...my apologies to everyone this has effected.
