Featherweight Challenge Series 1 (Pennsylvania)
...still running some errands, will check in tonight.

oh yeah!
a reliable source tells me gspeedr has his 1/64 video camera warmed up and ready to roll... next best thing to us being there !
rumor has it that PAPARATZI WORPEX will be on hand documenting the Challenge...
the redline derby denizens will be watching the pennsylvania racing action very closely... go G and C.C. go....
All entries have been checked in & accounted for. I also 'labeled & bagged' a few loose cars and rebagged a few other cars with torn bags. Working on assigning bracket spots & byes via a simple lottery system(no, not Megamillions ). Gotta run....
Got a coupla' Shiners chillin' for tomorrow's long distance tailgate party!
Bracket & bye lotteries are finished and all cars are assigned. The 6 teams that have yet to recieve a 'bye' were given priority...although the lottery system did randomly select the #2 & #3 ranked cars among the bye rounds(Beach Bum Racing & Jamaharv's 'Lotus Elise FTEs'). Will this be the help they need to put them "over the top"? And, of coarse, the lottery wasn't partial to me...my 9th ranked 'Thunderstreak' was picked to run in the same bracket with our series leader, TeamHalfFast's 'Chrysler 300C FTE'... Well, I must now spend the next few hours gathering & sorting cars for donations & trading...wish me luck! (I swear...this is diecast overload!!...lol)
GspeedR
good luck busy boy !
Everything is ready to go...finally! The FC entries are paired for their 1st heats in padded, open-top boxes. I spoke w/'crazycollector' this evening. Both he and Mike Z are very excited about this. I'm donating about a dozen packaged mainlines to the children's hospital on behalf of RLD. I also picked out 17 decent rolling cars and put them in the custom blisters that Smitty made for the event. These will be handed out to attendees as part of the "RLD Diecast Racing Stimulus Plan"...an attempt to turn 'in package' collectors into 'on track' racers.

Awesome, man, thanks for being the Redline Derby ambassador! Take some photos and we'll do a write up on the blog some time soon. We'll turn those guys into racers yet!
This is too cool, I totally missed the hospital thing or I would have sent you a crap load of cars for the event.
Have fun!
Can't wait! I'm getting my stuff ready now. I might be a few minutes late because its going to take longer to get there then I expected, but I'll be there, don't worry!
No it's more like Galaga or Beserk.
