thanks k n' o, cool contest.... I sold 40 or 50 customs before I came here... sort of a reaffirmation that the cars are acceptable, and not a waste of time. .......

 but the racing of a custom is the best of both worlds.... make it cool AND fast !

I will see if I can come up with sompin'...........or maybe i'll mail YOU a paint n' glue kit ? ..... hmmmmmmm

Smitty, you can do that if you would like, but I have a few things cooking in the kitchen already that I might enter... Thank you for offering to send me that Shaker!

Dad said he has something planned for the no-drill category.

I joined up!  The contest only requires you to submit photos of the build and then the public votes.  Proposed catagories are Gassers, Haulers, Rat Rods and 4 different muscle cars which where recent, current or upcoming events for us already!!!


  • I'm going to try to make race hauler entry look cool, so I can enter it in the custom contest and the race here on RLD! — KandORacing
  • Atta boy K&O...build on — Traction-Event

I have an old login that still works over there, from when iI raced RC. So just post photos, and state what catagory.

@traction event said So just post photos, and state what catagory.

That is the plan, but the category hasnt been picked yet.

@model40fan noted - I don't know if I will waste my time building a custom for this contest...I can't check on anything, can't find anything...k n o sent me a message, clicked the link... no message there.. syte sux !

Just like on here - the link above just takes you to a planning thread - without set details or dates.  Many of the proposed categories are builds we have just done or are doing right know so when that is posted you should already be good to go.

The old thread link posted on that site to the previous contest (from 2 years ago) just shows one 3/4 view of each build - as the contest photo - so start taking pictures of individual car builds as you finish them or find previous build photos that show a car that will fit into the contest category - when they announce it!


  • lack of computer skill, i will pass on this custom contest — model40fan
  • Come on, Smitty! They haven't worked out all the details yet. — KandORacing
