I just realized, I should have done shots with the cars on trailers....maybe tomorrow or for the final race! — 72_Chevy_C10
2seven's team #2 rod looks just plain MEAN. Boneshaker parts? — HappyCamper

Looks like we should have a "Neet" race. Lol.

Thanks for hosting.

isw, did you fill the hood or is that a redline '36 ford, opening rumble seat... — model40fan
I filled the hole with some 2 part epoxy. Wish I'd of used solder of something. Brushed bare metal looked the bees knees. — iswingping

I ran everybody down the track to make sure they were rolling okay...all look good!

First impression, I think the truck race is going to be A BATTLE! Some speedy looking trucks across the board! Traction Event's Chevy looks quick! And, with the Fatties, Delta 6's '36 looks quick, but he's going to have to get by C10's Patina Streeter and a few others!

Great builds, Guys!

The cars are all packed and will head to Ohio tomorrow!

I just wanted to say that I am really impressed with these builds! They are totally in the spirit of what I had in mind for this race!

The 'Rookies' in this race did a great job! 2Seven, all 4 of your machines look Great (I curious what you dI'd tO those wheels)...HappyCamper, also, good looking builds (3 of the 4 are kinda light, and that's going to hurt ya), and Iswingping, great builds (I like the way the axles are aligned on the tow truck). I you guys have any questions with your future builds, don't be afraid to ask questions...you'll get good answers on here.

Oh, and KHarvest, that truck is cool...and quick!

Good luck in Ohio, Guys!

Chris
