FIREBALL - The Cannonball Run Edition (by Invitation)
Shipping tomorrow.
- Yah know I’m starting to notice that a lot of your builds use Open hole 5 spoke wheels. Seems like those are your favorites huh? — Kingjester
- I guess it's kind of a combination of finding more O5SP that don't wobble, at least of the cars I own, and also liking them. I'd love to use the 8-hole 'steelies' but they aren't consistent. — FeralPatrick
- I have found that the O5sp are by far, the straightest wheels I find, too, so I watch for those for wheel farming — dr_dodge
- very nice, by the way — dr_dodge
Moon trash is done, ready to send
dr
- Great, sent you a direct msg — MarcusFiregone
- did this race run? can't seem to find it — dr_dodge
No, you didn't miss it ... the first 8 arrived at Bay City Speedway and have been held up there due to the track owners personal issues and rebuild of the track. You are in the second group of 8 ... I will run them as soon as I get the first 8 done, edited and posted.
Thanks for you inquirey and patience.
... Marcus Firegone
?????
did I ever run?
dr
- You should be in the second group. Working on it. — MarcusFiregone
- I got hit with not 1 but 5 life changing events in a row over the past two years. So sorry that this didn't work out. Looks like you got your entry back from Crazy Canuck. — MarcusFiregone
Just doing some housekeeping on tournaments that I haven't heard anything about in a while. What is the status on this tournament?
- never saw mine run — dr_dodge
- Shameful. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- But final results are posted I see. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- total of 8 cars were ran, I was told, you're coming up, earlier in this thread, but never ran — dr_dodge
- was "supposed to be in the second group as per above, almost a year ago — dr_dodge
- Ugggg — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Yes, got your car ready to run FeralPatrick. Thank you for your patience. — MarcusFiregone
never saw my stuff run, not returned
so sad, as I put a bunch of work in that as a rookie
3 tracks! wow! short cars, I'll enter, and make a model within the rules
including interior details,
to never see it run!
poor sport, good chap, very poor sport
(insert more country terms here)
dr
- I think Crazy Canuck said that Marcus is having a rough time at life. Not sure about any details. But he also has three of my cars, two of which have never run. Hopefully he is OK. — FeralPatrick
- yea, me too, we are a community, would be nice to know — dr_dodge
- I was doing 8 at a time based on when people entered. The second 8 got interrupted due to life issues but luckilly I'm back and still have the track! Getting ready to run the final set of cars. — MarcusFiregone
Sorry, I'm back and was able to save my house with the track! The Crazy Canuck has helped me get peoples cars returned. I got what is left back from him and I'm going through them. I think I have enough to send off the second group of 8 Cannonball Run cars. Let me know if you think I missed you.

- Spirit_Of_64 YES, that is your entry into the Gumball 3000 ... and don't tell anyone yet but I have plans ... — MarcusFiregone
- Oh right, different event! Carry on, then. — Spirit_Of_64
the USPS delivered my creature car, and the van to a wrong address
unfortunately by the time I found out 2 weeks had gone by,
no claim/recovery available
disappointing, to say the least
and to a large extent why I have pulled back on entering races
