Legends of Tobacco Road - The Funny Cars
I've got the bracket done/set....I excluded my team from the 1st Rd Bye draw, as I feel all host should do, and used a cup with all teams names in it and a flip of the coin to set the bracket for Round 1. My youngest pulled the teams for the 1st Rd byes and my oldest pulled the teams to set the match-ups in Grid A and Grid B.....now watch another team show up tomorrow :) I think all the cars are here and we are set to go racing!!!!
- Of four teams that made the bye, the car was decided by a coin flip between the two...heads for one and tales for the other. — LeagueofSpeed
The field is set for the race as no teams showed up today....everything is on schedule and may run some races tomorrow...stay tuned and good luck.
- Hope all enjoy the reveal...looking forward to some great racing tomorrow!!! — LeagueofSpeed
- Grid A on left...Grid B on the right...1st Rd match-ups side by side...1st round byes in the back. — LeagueofSpeed
- 21' 1 3/4" start to finish — LeagueofSpeed
- Byes Grid A-Team Quicksilver & Whiteknuckle Ride RT. Grid B- Lady of Speed & Skoal Bomb Racing — LeagueofSpeed
Setting up and fine tuning the Road.

It's Race Day here on Tobacco Road...look for some videos to start showing up after lunch. The plan is to run them all today and have our first Champion on Tobacco Road. Here are some viewing notes.
Color Country Racing has Green dots on it's two cars
G-Force Racing has Blue dots on it's two cars
RLD Racing has a Red dot on it's Bonneville
DVB Racing has the bigger Green dots on the rear of it's cars
....stay tuned!!!!
- Family match-ups in Grid B...CCR vs Color Country and Los vs Outlaw — LeagueofSpeed
- Also, a battle of the Forces...G-Force vs Speed Force — LeagueofSpeed
- LoS vs Outaw has been turned Grudge....loser buys Prime Rib dinner for 4 — LeagueofSpeed
- That's going to be an expensive loss! — Dadvball
Right off the bat I think the King Kenny is the one to beat. They have been pretty fast on the LJLRC track. With a little graphite that one could be a monster.
- That Plymouth Arrow RLD sent in is fast!!! — LeagueofSpeed
- Awesome racing. Let me compliment you on the track. The cars that won did so by about the same margin on both lane. Nicely balanced track! — Dadvball
- Thank you...I'm very pleased with the lane integrity — LeagueofSpeed
- Looks great! Love that long shot from the finish line...turned out well — redlinederby
- I'm looking forward to that Prime Rib dinner!!!! — LeagueofSpeed
- Those are some noisy bastiges coming down the track though...clinking and clanking along!!! — LeagueofSpeed
- Some great racing in Round 2!!! — LeagueofSpeed
- Congrats RLD....that was close!!!! — LeagueofSpeed
- Hell of a Battle JDub!!! — LeagueofSpeed
Finish it up tomorrow...we lost the natural light and a light bulb, battery went critical on the Ipad between the 2nd and 3rd race between Lady of Speed and Color Country, plus we had to eat dinner....and youtube is very slow right now with most likely all the Memorial Day uploads.....stay tuned as we crown a Champion tomorrow!!!
- Great job on the racing and video. So many very close races. — Dadvball
- Thanks DVB...my youngest is in charge of production...proud of her and the track — LeagueofSpeed
- ...also, congrats on making the 1/4 finals — LeagueofSpeed
