Gasser Challenge Discussion

I use a jacket.

Is anyone else concerned about front end damage?

I thought my Gassers would break the first time I ran 'em down the track, but by some miracle they are still holding together.

i don't see their constuction as a liability... i saw the downunder axle slot at an angle front to back into the "backing plates"useing the stock axle as a backing and to help align the new axle, then file and sand the edges of the new slot

I'm very close to finishing another one today. + there are a couple partials I have going on. Gonna have to get the production line going. Only 4 days left till the deadline.

My friend and fellow collector Daniel saw my gassers and got the mod bug. He's made a couple of cars and will be sending them into the competition.

I had the same concerns with the front end. Last week I ran my Gassers quite a lot with no problems at all.

Welcome to the fray Daniel, the more the merrier.

It looks like Tastelikedirt has only received cars from two teams so far.
I mailed mine, has anybody else?

Yes they did.

Not sure if I'm do'n this correctly, but I was hoping my cars arrived safely in California. My name is Daniel, aka "surfersmurf78" and I registered late, so I was hoping my cars could just be alternates or something. I've been customizing for a few years but when I saw Jim's, "JDC442", gassers and took a look at the site I couldn't resist, so this will be my first race.

When did you send them?
They were sent to Jim Thompson, right?

Got them today.

I have to do some run off's Tuesday. I can do a couple Grudge Matches with the new cars, and then send them with the rest of the cars to the next race.

Yep, sent to Jim Thompson in Columbia, CA. Priority Mail on 5/15. Any possible way to see a group photo of all the cars?
