Team 'Not-So-Go' is relying on AMC power, so, they are having trouble keeping up with those LS-powered Chevys
These guys will be getting glued and graphited tonight and will be headed to Michigan tomorrow...
The cars are glued and graphited...I'll box them up in a bit...along with some other goodies.
I feel 'okay' about these cars for the first time...for whatever reason, they have been very slow to evolve. But I guess we'll see how they do in a couple weeks!
I should start seeing some cars this week. looking forward to this. Love getting cars in the mail, and seeing what you guys create.
I have been needing to host...I'm out of bubble wrap and small boxes.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to this one too! The Beaters and Fat Fenders wrapping up this weekend and the Bare Muscle starting next weekend...good stuff!

Some good stuff in there!
- Check out the racing pics at the end of the thread. — JDC442
- I ran 8 different 12-car brackets to give everyone multiple 1st round match ups. — JDC442
- That's a lot of work! Hopefully, with 5 locations, the cars will get enough diffrerent first round races — 72_Chevy_C10
- How are the first round match ups going to be made for this one? Are you leaving that up to the individual hosts? — JDC442
- Individual hosts...random draw — 72_Chevy_C10
Looks like I am only going to be able to do one team wit the way it's working out. We'll see how they do, I am not very pleased with their performance but I'll race them anyway.
The team is packed up and heading to Pinckney.
It's good to be back in the action!

Seeing lots of very cool cars in this race already...I can't wait to see everyone's cars. We are a week away (Okay, well, a week and a day)...It's time to get the cars finished up and in the mail!
We've got a returning veteran (JDC442), a defending Champ that wants to repeat (or, at least, get on the trophy), and a good bunch of Rookie racers...This is already shaping up to be a seriously cool race!
Good Luck Everyone!
