HW Derby Dash stock mail-in

Asleep at the switch, forgot about this one. Next time.

Pickup today included Virginia, N. Carolina, Washington, S. Carolina, Kansas, Michigan and Connecticut. Plus a co-worker of mine is joining in with some cars. Around 15 cars entered as of right now, so a decent field.

The prize pot ain't shabby either with some FTEs just waiting to be chopped.

Uh oh. Nothing from TN? I mailed mine earlier in the week. Should have easily been there by Saturday. 

At least our Cadillacs weren't formally owned by J&J Security:

Final roll call of entries as of 3/21

• tracksurgeon (2)
• jhmusic (2)
• JDC442 (2)
• Finkle (1)
• WizardofOz (2)
• nicpetty (2)
• cliffordshaw (2)
• McJiggles9 (2)
• Local entry (2)

But it sounds like one or two entries are still MIA in transit...?

However, given the holiday weekend that I failed to account for, I'm not going to race this tournament until next week sometime, so I'll do 1 or 2 more pickups in hopes some others get here.

I'm going to do another race preview show like I did for the Pro Series, but I probably won't be able to get that until Wednesday or Thursday night this week.

So best case, those late cars don't get in the preview show but do get here in time to race. Worst case, they got lost in transit. Those entries that are MIA, if you have a tracking number, please check and confirm its status and let me know. 

I let the drivers ed teacher at my school mail it for me. I told him to send it priority but who knows. I will check with him today and make sure he did.

Updated the event date to be April 7...just to be safe. That'll be the date of the results broadcast.

I'll doing a preview show this week, probably this Thursday night 3/24. It'll be another live recording so join if you can but replays will go up.

I'll do actual racing the week after Easter and then results show early the week after that for the 7th. I'm still getting my process down for the video broadcast stuff. This is only the second time so probably giving myself more time than I need but better that than rush the product.

So...if anyone wants to still enter this, get your cars out today or tomorrow and they should arrive in time for the actual tournament. They won't be in the preview show but better to skip that than the actual race. 

Sorry for the push back and delay. Should hopefully favor some late entries. Let me know if there are any questions.

I'm glad you decided to push back. I was going to be busy this weekend and didn't want to miss anything. Happy Easter!

Added live streaming dates. Preview show this Thursday at 10PM ET. Sorry for the late promotion...couldn't nail down the date until just now. :)

One of the most renowned cars I own, Master Castrol has won six times: at CVD, the Funny Car Division in May of 2014 and the 2014 F/c Division Championship; at the LJLRC, the June 2014 Any Brand Race; and at the RIHWC, the June 2014 Funny Car Race, October 2014 All Out Die Cast (any brand) Race, and November 2014 Funny Car Race. I recall it also tied, and then came within a thousandth of a second of tying, a Redline Side Kick for a Quarter Final trophy the day it won All Out Die Cast.

As you can see, Master Castrol didn't do much over 2015; however, he's been competing decently at the LJLRC and RIHWC this year. If he can break through the other LJLRC Any Brand entrants, or my Emperor Kenny and another guy's Castrol at the RIHWC, he might be in for another win at some point. Most Funny Cars--and thus the majority of unlubed stock HWs--still generally aren't a match for him; we'll see if dry lubes can lick him, though I'm not exactly betting on it.

18 Cadillac V-16s sounds like overkill. FTEs on faster ones of the same castings spin silently without making a buzzing/roaring noise and slowing down.
