I'm sorry but my cars aren't gonna make it. Try as hard as I could but they are still not finished. I promise I'm gonna slow down someday and have more play time. Good Luck Racers, FatMike
Oh I forgot to mention that my eldest son CometCurt has mailed in his cars. Yall can beat up on him instead of me. His cars did look good and fast, so it might not be easy. FatMike
- Awesome...another new face! — 72_Chevy_C10
- His cars showed up today... — Traction-Event
- Sweet! Just by chance... I have to ask because of his name, did he build a Mercury Comet? :-) — KandORacing
- K&O's cars arrived as well... — Traction-Event
- Cool! Did they survive shipping? — KandORacing
- packed very well, as they all have been...we are learning — Traction-Event
- His name is CometCurt because in high school Curtis begged for me to get him this 74 Comet GT. We still have it. — FatMike
TEAM PHOTOS...
Having issues....hmmm
- Looking Good, Guys!! — 72_Chevy_C10
- You got two more yellow roofs coming in. (Called yellow on 4/21) — HappyCamper
- JDC's are actually orange, Happy :) — 72_Chevy_C10
- And mine are orange and black...TE's got a new camera, so the colorsight be a little off :) — 72_Chevy_C10
- Or I live next to a Kenny Rogers Roasters and my rods and cones are shot... — HappyCamper
- Seinfeld reference — HappyCamper
- Someone should slap on a pretty color on Stroller's rides — JDC442
- He already has a color.... clear... :] — KandORacing
- Just need to see what color is left after all cars arrive...I'm on the case — Traction-Event
- Stroller got a coat of gold today... — Traction-Event
Whoops, I see both mine are 1g over weight... sorry guys. My scale showed they were the correct weight before I shipped them out. If you would like, Chris, you can take a smaller drill bit and very carefully put a few holes in the underside if the 1g difference is going to be an issue. Just make sure you don't poke through and pop the weight or axles loose.
- Scales vary....even mine, C-10 can make the call... — Traction-Event
- A gram is fine...it's when it's 2, 3, 4 that the drill comes out — 72_Chevy_C10
- Thanks guys... I just didn't want to cause any problems. — KandORacing
- It was flagged for whatever reason...I know, on my phone I've hit the 'report' button while scrolling through more than once! — 72_Chevy_C10
It's looking like at least 12 teams...that's pretty good! It's going to make a really nice prize for the winning team!
Thanks so much for hosting, TE! The points will be per usual...the same as they were in Beaters and Fatties...1 pt per win, additional pt for getting into the finals and a pt for winning the finals and for the 3rd place race (in a 16 car field, that means 5 for 1st, 4 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, 2 for 4th...1 pt for all the others that got out of the first round). The 40 gram vs 57 gram is just for 'bragging rights'...no points for that one. It will be interesting to see how 40 gram cars do against their big brothers!
