Chasing SPEED!!!!!!

Preacher Wednesday, 12/5/2012

Ever since I got into racing these little cars, I find myself on a continual hunt for cars with SPEED! I'm always looking at wheel cutouts, metal bottoms, rolling resistance etc. It isn't so much about "Isn't that a cool car", but "I wonder if it is FAST!". Is it just me, or has anyone else here been bitten by this bug of SPEED?

I sure I look at them differently than I did before I was racing them. I'm also always looking for parts... engines, wheels ect...

I shop enitrely different since I've been racing. I don't even loo for variants anymore...I don't have enough space! I used to just buy cars I liked but now it's just cars I don't have but that I want to see race. It's a curse, careful.

Haha, I do that to but now I put extra priority on the cars in the Redline Derby. I've bought so many cars how that i'd never have bought before if they weren't in the fantasy league!

I just started too and now I check the bases, type of wheels and axle lengths in case I need them for a swap. I've only built 3 cars so far, working on another two, and will need 5 more very soon. The racing bug has me looking at them differently as well.
Also just finished putting together a temporary 20 ft. track to test the cars in my basic collection trying to become a llittle more competetive with the Lincoln Johnny Lightning Race Club guys.

You and me both! Without the need for racing, I wouldn't even come close to buying Skullcrusher "fantasy" type cars. Prior to racing my collection was all muscle cars and exotics...personal taste cars...now I have to think about what will be fast and interesting for the game.

I too have started chasing speed!!!! After studying the web site and the RLD standings I have changed my shopping habits. Even at the last 1:1 car show I went to - I was visualizing how those cars and their wheels would perform on the gravity track layouts!
