Fords Fords Fords: Old School / New School
I'm headed out for popcorn... USA over the Ruskies in Olympic hockey this morning... and... diecast racing... cool
Ok racers!, here are my first "race day" videos. Not perfect, but with each event I'll get better. I dug into the vault for some music.
First off, great racing today. When the cloud of race gas and tire smoke finally cleared we had solid winners in each class. There were some epic close battles... The low track proved to be a stong point for some cars while others fell by the wayside. Lots of side by side action!
I'll post the brackets and points tomorrow, once everyone has had a chance to watch the show.
Don't mind the race dates..I had the title pages set..
without further delay:

Are you guys ready to race??....Todays mail came and there were no new arrivals so I could do some racing today. The temperature on my back patio is 32 degrees today. No chance of rain. So we will see how tough the old guy is.....
Good luck everybody. I am doing random bracketing so don't be surprised if you end up racing yourself. At least you will be assured a win if that happens.....Best 2 out of 3 heats.............Short Track first......
the stars shine...
Nice work on the video, too!
Congrates to the winners (again!)
No Wally today
That is fun to watch, cool track.
Your car had wins against both 1st and 2nd place finishers...impressive.
I enjoy hosting for the simple fact that you can look at the other racers cars and their strategies on putting them together. Rally case has some very unique builds this series. Some very cool cars
Some racing notes:
D6 car 11 came to play very solid performance.
DVB, both cars were in some long battles, came out on the wrong end in each case...
Stroller, car 19 stormed through the losers bracket then on to beat me twice...this got him a TON of points if my math is right..he is pulling away.
Yes I raced the two champs just for fun...I did not tape this race, but my 32 came out on top by over a car. no points for this
Next race we'll speed things back up. Hope my video skills can keep up.
