Before and After Series.
Great call JDC, edge of your seat action in B'ham.
Congrats K&O...this guy is one to watch.
The mighty Datsun put a few FTE's on the trailer, yeah baby!... this experiment is workin....love me some 5SP wheels...
Smitty's drop top Way 2 is a sweet ride...look at the selection of parts. see if I can get them all, madfast blower, bone shaker pipes, not sure on the injected mill? fuel cell, wind in the hair...
Wow! I can't believe I actually built a good car this time! Thank you everyone for the congratulations, and Smitty, your car put up a good fight! Well done!
- what was wrong with your dumpin A ? — model40fan
- You're right, I forgot about Mutha Load! If only the weight wouldn't have come out..... — KandORacing
- I'm building a second Mutha Load as well, I'll post pictures of the pair here soon — KandORacing
Since I got to Strollers late, he wasn't able to weigh my cars in. Just in case anyone is wondering, I think the scale said my After car was 51 grams, give or take a little.
Sorry guys. Just got home from church. Racing is wrapped up and I'll try to get the results up tomorrow after work.
Danny, no problem! Does this mean you are running the original date of July the 6th also?
Brackets!! After http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr253/danielcollick/IMAG1333_zpseic866gv.jpg Before: http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr253/danielcollick/IMAG1334_zpscoriksi_edit_1404182660204_zps0qj30qlh.jpg I really hope everyone can see these and I apologize for not doing a play by play. Hoping to develop my presentation over time. Congratulations to JDC442 & Sloppy-J's! Some tight racing at the end of the brackets. Thank you to the other hosts, and I'll get your cars back out if you like. Anyone else who'd like their cars back please pm me about your return shipping arrangements. I know someone sent me a check for themselves & Webercabin during the last Gassers race that included return shipping for this race, but I can't remember who.
- That would probably be Rally Case — JDC442
- Biggest differences were 1.Traction 2. KandO 3. Nightstalker — JDC442
- Solid 2nd"... for the Datsun...congrats JDC! Well won series. — Traction-Event
- Jim, do you mean mine had the 2nd biggest difference in time between the Before car and the After car? — KandORacing
- In Delta's race yes. — JDC442
FINAL POINTS ARE NOW UP
CONGATS 442, job well done.... as always the sloppies are happy with a second place finish...
also, a big thanks to all the hosts, and 442 for cleaning up the "sloppy mess" ...
confused... the sloppies got 2 pts. in the after race... but beat HS, RC and NS...ok with me, it didn't affect any points...
- One point per win works for single elimination. Double elimination allows points for finish position only. — JDC442
- 7 for 1st, 5 for second, 4 for third, 3 for fourth, 2 for 5th, 1 for 6th — JDC442
- fair enough... — model40fan
Modified: the “AFTER” Race
Upper Bracket Round One
Race 1: Delta’s Camaro beats Fishtail’s Lotus in a very close race
Race 2: Rally Case’s jacked up Pacer looks good as it whips past Clay Feat’s Cream Machine
Race 3: Stroller’s Furiosity is fast, but KandO’s Mustang takes an early lead and never looks back as it flies to victory
Race 4: The Sloppy green Way 2 Fast mod looks better than ever slipping past the Hot Cobra in this first round race
Race 5: Traction’s little Datsun with the Huge engine is frustrated early on by the speed of TNfishdaddy’s Lambo, but uses that anger to come from behind for the victory
Race 6: Holeshot’s freak ’55 is no match for Fast Fred’s 40 in their first round match up
Race 7: The closest first round race is between Weber Cabin’s Demon and the Nightstalker Charger. The red Charger is the faster in this race and moves on to round 2.
Upper Bracket Round 2
Race 8: Starting gate, round two –Delta6 sits alongside the JDC F40 in his impressively fast silver Camaro, giving him a nod just before the green light. Delta puts up a good fight, but he can’t keep the pace of the orange Ferrari. JDC with another win.
Race 9: Rally Case sits up high in his perky Pacer, hoping for another victory as he faces the dark red K&O Mustang. That hope is soon dashed as he watches the Mustang’s tail lights all the way down the track.
Race 10: Sloppy verses Traction –today is Smitty’s day, as he takes down the dangerous Traction Event in this second round race. Traction vows to take revenge from below.
Race 11: Nightstalker earns another win making the Fast Fred 40 not look so fast.
Lower Bracket Round 1
Race 12: The Tennessee Fish Daddy can’t catch a break today. His Lamborghini is indeed fast, but not as fast as the hotrain Cobra, which takes him out of this competition.
Race 13: Weber Cabin’s pink Demon makes easy work of the beast-like Bel Air.
Race 14: Clay feat is determine to show her man who’s boss in this race. She barely beats him in the first race, but Stroller’s Furiosity won’t let her by him in the next two races. He’s sleepin’ on the couch tonight –hope the win was worth it!
Race 15: Fishtail’s handsome Lotus takes an early lead and doesn’t look back beating Fred and sending him to the pits for the remainder of this race.
Lower Bracket Round 2
Race 16: The Hot Cobra can’t get past the Pacer as Rally Case moves on in the brackets
Race 17: This Delta/Weber race proves to be a good one. The pink Demon takes a slight lead early on, but Delta is determine to make a statement today hitting the nitrous in the straight making enough horse power to take down the pretty demon and move on to face the Pumped Up Pacer.
Race 18: Stroller is a bit too cocky as he gets ready to face the Datsun pickup. He makes a smart comment to Traction as they idle at the start gate. Whatever was said didn’t seem to phase Traction as he speeds on to victory looking for another chance to face the Smitty Way 2 Fast.
Upper Bracket Round 3
Race 19: JDC’s F40 expects an easy win versus the upshot K & O Mustang, but is surprised by the Stang’s Faster Than Ever speed. It’s a win for JDC, but only by a hair in both lanes.
Race 20: The Nightstalker has looked nothing but good in his races thus far. But he's facing a fiery competitor in the Way 2 Fast Sloppy Jalopy. The Charger gets out quick, but can’t hold off the Way 2 Fast Jalopy. Another victory for Smitty!
Lower Bracket Round 3
Race 21: Delta6 is tuned to perfection today as he leaves no doubt in the competition’s minds. The Pacer is just no match for the speedy Camaro.
Race 22: Although the Fishtail Lotus looks smart at the gate, his father takes him to school, and takes the victory.
Lower Bracket Round 4
Race 23: This race featuring Nightstalker and Delta 6 takes several races before it can be determined who is the fastest. The judges finally give Delta the nod and the checkered flag as he winks at the Nightstalker thanking him for a great race.
Race 24: Easily one of the closest races in this event. Tracion Event versus KandORacing. This one goes seven races before Traction Event is forced to tip his hat to the faster racer today. The KandO Mustang moves on.
Upper Bracket Final One
Race 25: JDC is surprised once again by the speed of his competition. The Sloppy machine is in top form as he gets by the F40 and looks ahead to the Championship race.
Lower Bracket Round 5 & 6
Race 26: Delta 6 finally runs out of gas as he faces the fiery K&O Mustang (should have saved the nitrous for this one). The Stang is smooth as silk today and makes easy work of the silver Camaro.
Race 27: The JDC F40 beat the up and coming K&O earlier in the match, can he do it again? KandO says “no”, as he puts away the Spokane champ in a couple of close races.
Overall Final
Race 28: The K&O Mustang has worked his way up through the lower bracket to earn a chance at taking down the Smitty Way 2 Fast. In order to upset Mr. Smith, he’ll have to take him out twice. Both cars have been extremely impressive today, but only one racer can earn the title of Bellingham Champ.
The Sloppy Speedster is surprised in back to back races as the Mustang beats him two in a row.
Yet in order to take the crown, the K&O Stang must do it again as he came through the lower bracket. The Final of Finals looks just like the race before. The Mustang leaves no doubts as he cruises to victory two more times!!!
Congratulations to KandORacing!!!
