Cops and Robbers II - The Chase
Chris C/10, Thanks for hosting and reporting out on the races. Good to hear that Javelin finally got put in it's place...looking at tail lights... :)
Some familiar faces in the top 8...
Rally Case, and Smitty are mounting some late series charges. Where Delta's Cop has become very consistent, soaking up the extra 3rd place points. Top 3 cars are starting to pull away..all cops...leaving the next 5 Robber cars looking for an escape route to the top... This will be settled in the Pacific Northwest... Stroller you're up! One race or two?
Romanator, scores over Grandpa and make a jump in points as well...
Points updated!!!
Check my math...
1 point for every win
1 point Extra races for 3rd-4th in each class
1 point bye run
three tabs, overall, cops, robbers
The Wa.S.P.s were lined up at the border to welcome their East coast brothers and to nab any baddies that try to get into my state. I told them that all were arriving under the protection of the USPS so they backed off and are now blocking all the exits from my neighborhood. So if any of you Robbers wander out of the Raceway area you will be captured and sent to make 1:1 scale license plates. So welcome to Washington! There will hopefully be two very different race tracks, One will be a normal downhill run and the other a bit more difficult because it will be uphill. I expect that some may experience some difficulty on that track........it is not a downhill run to an uphill climb. It will be all uphill. So good luck to everyone............Stroller.
All silliness aside I am running 2 races (both downhill) first a six lane starting gate with 12 ft flat track, and the six lane finish gate. I don't have one them fancy Dragtracks. Race 2 will be all Blutrak...8ft ramp at about 45 degrees then the rest will be run out to the six lane finish line again. If your car wrecks the race will NOT be run again. You knew running from Cops and chasing Robbers would be dangerous. ......Good Luck!.....
- Two more races...not sure I can hold off Rally Case...Barely doing it now... Or D6..both charging hard for that top spot... — Traction-Event
- we shall see what we shall see. — Stroller
- All in good fun!!! — Traction-Event
- it's been fun, even from the middle of the pack... may see some fur fly this weekend.. — model40fan
Well I have good news and I have bad news. Good news is the cars have arrived. The bad news is as I said before I can't run races until at least Tuesday. It is raining and cold. I have the rest of the day at the hospital for appointments. Damn Agent Orange!! Tomorrow maybe but probably not. Friday we go to my daughters house for "Birthday Weekend". Clay Feat, My daughter Carmen and great grand daughter Katy's birthday are celebrated.
We come back on Monday. So Tuesday I am running a race no matter what the weather. It may be a short indoor track but by gum it will happen. Wednesday race two............see above.............Stroller. I do hate it when I have to wait for a race....No more autumn or winter racing for me.....maybe...............Stroller
Opened up the cars this evening. All cars are accounted for. Haven't inspected any yet I will tomorrow and then run the first race. I said I was going to run two entirely different races but that may not be possible. Just like last year it is so wet and cold outside I am running the races indoors. So both races will be a lot alike. Maybe a jump or 2 would make it different or maybe a loop......lol. The cars will be mailed out as quickly as possible. I did forget to ask for return money from people and it's all my fault. So just hang in there....lol also I am sending every one a participation car just for entering................Let the racing begin..............tomorrow....
Hey cops and robbers racers, let's get return shipping money to stroller ASAP along with a big thanks for hosting.
big ol' atta boy for thinking up the race, and for hosting the finals... go stroller go !
Todays race track is something new. I think. 8 feet down the six lane HW starting track then up an 8 ft uphill ramp. This will separate the men from the boys,,,lol. The rise is only 5 inches but it has a profound effect on the race cars. Tested it with 4 cars from my loose cars and they made it albeit a slowwww run. At the top of the run it flattens out for 4 foot finish......good luck everyone.......starting now......my video camera has bit the dust so I will have to write this one sorry......Stroller
- Good luck everyone! — 72_Chevy_C10
- good rolling cars to the front... or is that good rolling bad cars... — model40fan

- Sloppy and Rally mounting the final charge....I'm doomed... — Traction-Event

Oh, and there was a grudge match on the Drag...and I'm afraid that my Javelin did not stand a chance...it was easily beaten by Rally Case's GTO (and TE's Mustang had it's revenge as well!)
