(With the now tinted windshield)
The hits kept coming, in addition to the Drag Tracks difficulty my lap top crashed and I just got it repaired. I now have the tools back to construct the video. I have so much footage captured (3 iphones w/ diff. angles) I was afraid it would all be for not. I will work on getting it completed.
The Beetles quarantined for shipping below!

The Beetle Bash ETs are below, check out the 11 race dual between my #76 and the East Bound Bug. I didn't think we would have a winner. I placed a piece of black tape on the roof of my bug to discern the two look a likes.

I can't believe both of my beetles did that good, congratulations two seven! I can't wait to see the video!!!
Well DT and I ran the third leg of the Beetle Bash. Out in my garage. It is 10 degrees out there. I had the space heater going and it made the breaker kick off off, so we had to turn it off. Anyhow the races are over and video will be out tomorrow. Used the Max Traxx finish line it was ok but if you had a low car then it took long to actuate. I had to judge a couple of races for fairness.......Warming up now, Will see you all tomorrow.

Once again sorry....but it was a hard fought fight for all....the first race between between Eastbound and Red Line Derby took 15 tries and Dragon Tooth and Crazy Truck Dude ran 13 heats before a winner. I'm hoping to get better lighting for the relay race....Stroller
