i am new to this mail -in racing,
... how many is many ?
... i count about 15 guys that post on a regular basis... quick response from [6]...thank you...
... my fear is if it is too easy, not just the "few", but a "bunch" of racers may want to send [ ? ] STOCK CARS...
... is quantity the goal ? ....i don't care, for or against, i just want to race altered hot wheels,.... do the stockers want to race against the "few" ?... do they need a class ?
...how many cars are a comfortable quantity for potential track hosts ?... maine h.w. racing is no where near as BIG as texas, in '09 in our league, 50 cars, 12 to 15 racers was a good nite...
.. so, join the six, let me know what "you" want.....

It may come down to whoever drill the correct number of holes in the optimum places.

Tastelikedirt, I mean this in the best of ways:
Remember, this ain't "rocket math", just a few adults that still play with cars!
Grab a drill and come play!

Ha! Yes, I was joking about where and how many holes to drill. When your talking about something that fits in the palm of your hand...

Details are being worked out and I'll post them on the "Who wants to race" thread soon.

This thread got a little long winded so the "WHO WANTS TO RACE" thread was started.
I know the titles are confusing, but IT happens!

For updates please go to the new thread which is located here:

THANKS!

For those of you still scouting 'lightweight cars', check out the latest video from DCR...

http://youtu.be/tbb4peOFMP4

The new '1985 IROC-Z' weighs in @ only 30g and pulled out a very respectable time on the DCR downhill coarse. It lost to a 46g JL Mustang...barely.
