HW Derby Dash stock mail-in
The replay of the preview show is done and up at the top. Ran a little shorter this time but a good look and chat about the stock-ness of cars. Thanks to everyone that tuned in live at some point, always appreciate having a live studio audience :)
For some reason the last minute or so of the show didn't get recorded by YouTube :( Guessing my internet couldn't keep up, so sorry about that. All the good info got captured though.
Lots of good cars in the mix, should be fun.
Although, I'm thinking the next stock tournament will have banned cars to see some different castings.
Oh, and I probably won't do any more car pick-ups until after Easter. I'll post with any late entries.
Great telecast last night Brian, l was very impressed with your video skills and commentary. Those Jaguars I sent are super fast, I have most of the cars represented in a tournament and I beat them all! Surgeon, calling you out! Cadillacs are going down! "Cause all I do is win win win no matter what " ????
Posted this on the Redline Derby Instagram last night before the show...just a little behind-the-scenes look at how unspectacular this all is. Just smoke and mirrors :)

Master Castrol is expected to arrive Monday. I sent an identical one, albeit not as fast (though perhaps not TOO bad a racer), for a prize ... just make sure the right one races and comes home, ha-ha-ha (the one with the green FOTF sticker in the protecto-pack).
Look on the bright side: if, for some reason, even one of you manages to beat this car, just imagine the joy all of you are going to feel over it ... though perhaps my talking like that makes that idea seem really hopeless....
I watched somewhat of the presentation (though not live)--I might agree with the idea of limiting castings next time. Where I come from, Funny Cars and Redlines tend to be designated to classes other than "Hot Wheels Stock."
Okay, the late entries are in and here they are...
FOTF's most feared funny car
2Seven's pair of "gold medal speed" cars
tnfishdaddy's entry pair
EconoCarl's fast pair
And I think that's everyone that wanted to get in on this race. I'll be posting the seeded bracket later this week.
And here is some of the prize pot the winner will take home. This photo does NOT include entry cars that are going into the pot should they lose. Winner should expect this lot plus 6 more or so.
A handful of decent FTE donors in there plus a duplicate of FOTF's Castrol funny car. And don't discount the cars in the lot that have metal chassis which can always be combined with an different body for some great racers...gotta use your imagination!
- FOTF: I think it's cool that your prize car matches your entry -nice touch. — JDC442
- That's what I was thinking too. — EconoCarl
- That Lotus was a front-runner in the old Featherweight races. — EconoCarl
- Thanks! Somebody might get some use out of it--especially if they can legally use graphite. It might be fast if loosened up. — FOTF
Do gold medal speed cars have special axles?
Is it too late to get in?? I have a Mustang FTE to enter.
- Sorry, it is. They'll be another later this summer. But welcome! :) — redlinederby
- And check the calendar for other events — redlinederby
Here's the bracket for the Derby Dash. Link also in the top post.
- Are you running them this week? — Steele_Mill_Racing
- Hey Brian, the thread says racing is at 10pm EDT, the bracket has 9pm EDT. — EconoCarl
- Racing broadcast will still be at 10PM. — redlinederby
- Thank you! — Steele_Mill_Racing
- Great field! — Chopper
Shouldn't the Wizard of Oz's Chrysler be in the loser's bracket by now?... I guess it's more polite to wait and put it there AFTER it races Master Castrol.... };D
Also, I'm wondering the same thing someone else had posted--what happened to Tracksurgeon's pair of little white roller skates? (Borrowing Sean Casey's "Red Shoe/Dominator" analogy--perhaps Storm Chasers watchers will remember that.) I don't see him in the ladder.
- I think you're right about the two V16s...let me double check tonight. I'll update bracket accordingly. — redlinederby
- Can't miss out on a chance to humble Carte Blanche! — FOTF
- By the way, is there any chance a couple of the highest-ranked Fantasy League cars could race in this? — FOTF
- It might be cool to see them stack up against others' cars. — FOTF
Just caught the preview show... Brian good stuff, and your comment about prize cars... PRICELESS!!!!
