Lotta Speed Racing Showroom
My third post-apocalyptic car is an '68 Custom Camaro.
My little sister designed where the weapons should go, and the color. So it was silver with purple trim, a big mimi gun mounted on the top, and a bent bar in the back.
CAR: Heavy Speed
DRIVER: Book Paige
BACKGROUND STORY: Late ago, the '68 Camaro was every ones favorite speed queen. It had every thing that you would ever need for fun racing.
Anyway, when the Camero was first sold in 1968, a man named Bartholomew Spears wanted to make is coustom enough to look like a whole new car! Fins on the back, upgraded engine, and different on-dash updates.
The car has been in his possesion for about twenty years, drag racing, cross country, etc. Then Mr. Spears got arrested and had to serve a nickle behind steel. After he got out, he was frightened to even get into a V4. So then saw the 1990 Pontiac Sunbird Convertable. With only a two cyinder engine, and the peacfullness of the interior, the comfort he got just driving it, he decided to sell the Camero.
It was sold to Lotta Speed, who took over for the fastness and racing.
And in some point in the time line from 2004 and now, it was closed off with many other Lotta Speed cars.
Then Book found the old relic, and needed it to be used as a racer, with the societie's current style, so she got a large mini gun mounted on the top. One shot from that thing could blow off any oncoming missile or rocket with ease.
1972 Corvette Stingray Convertible
CUSTOMIZATION:
At first, I was thinking about turning this car into a hardtop. This is because all of the ‘Movie Magic’ may be taken away when seeing nobody in the driver’s seat. But I didn’t because that would mean not getting to do the extra stripe on the back.
I got three Corvettes originally: One to keep in mint condition, one to take out and play with like a three year old, and one to customize. C3 Corvettes being my favorite car ever made and all, I thought that I should customize one. So the two that I took out of the package, I did a 1v1 with them, and the winner’s prize was to get itself customized.
I did a metal flake red paint job on it, like my Trans Am in the MCM American Muscle, and a metal flake silver stripe down the middle top. Then I put a horizontal silver stripe across the other stripe on the back, and stretched down on the sides.
CAR: The Reverend
DRIVER: Jack B. Quick
BACK STORY: After the Korvins got tired of their ‘65 Mustang, they wanted something a little more fun, fast, and over all; better. What car fits this description better than the C3 1972 Corvette Stingray? EASY! The C3 1972 Corvette Stingray Convertible with a custom paint job!
The Korvins bought the car in ‘72, when they got the red with a silver cross paint job. They entered ‘The Reverend’ in many small town legal races with God on their side, with many great outcomes.
But the Korvins are like many people; can’t find a car that they haven't loved. They bought a red 2009 Chrysler 300c and moved down to Las Vegas. They made as many improvements as they could, and made it one heck of an illegal city racer.
Though, they were so good at winning those illegal races, that they couldn’t keep clear from the 5-O. Now, many people drink up cars, but they must be the first people to ever BAIL up a 300c.
When the Korvins sold the Chevy for the Chrysler, they sold it to the DHCROLV, who is currently trying to find an abbreviation for their abbreviation. DHCROLV stands for “Down Hill Car Racers of Las Vegas. They have a downhill track as long as about 60 1971 Dodge Chargers, and can race five cars at once.
After people started entering their own cars, instead of borrowing the DHROLV’s and having to pay Auto Insurance, the DHROLV decided to sell The Reverend to Lotta Speed.
1957 CHEVY PICKUP
CUSTOMIZATION: I got my inspiration for this from a Wii game I just got; the Cars: Mater-National Championship, and their ‘Rust Bucket Races.’ I really wanted this truck to have the rust bucket look, so I got the silver metal flake nail polish, and lightly put it on the body. Then I got some brown Acrylic paint to layer on the vehicle. I got the same metal flake silver nail polish, and I coated the bumpers to give it the “Rust-eze” look.
DRIVER: Jack B. Nimble
THE CAR”S STORY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH IT BEFORE THIS VERY MOMENT IN TIME: This is another nab from “Beat’s Nick," "Where only affordable cars are found” as Nick likes to say. Apparently, back in ‘57, the ‘Classic Year,’ this car was sold to a member of a truck gang. Like a motorcycle gang, these guys like to travel together, and are very quick. This car belonged to Jackson Danny Alls, their leader. After Danny bought it, he got a blue and purple flame job on black for his high style car, ASAP. And he was the rod of pure heat! All eyes turned on Alls and his truck. And any one who wanted to go up against him in the street, did not like the outcome.
In ‘72, he sold the truck for an El Camino. He sold it to a small town guy in New Mexico, who used it to ship himself and his equipment all around from town to town. He was a handyman, see. And he needed a wide bed for his materials. When he finally retired in 1989, he sold it to Beat’s Nick. This is where it has been deteriorating for 27 years. Then possession changed yet again, when Lotta Speed, who used it as a utility truck. Then in 2024, Lotta Speed’s ‘Last Decision People’ decided to convert this rusty, junky piece of junk, into a rusty, junky racer. This may or may not of been (We are not at liberty to say) just a shameless grab for ratings.
My '15 Dodge Charger SRT
This car has always been my test car. I use it to test paints, tracks, styles, etc. By the time you have finished reading this, it will have probobly been changed by much.
This photo was taken after I tested my Lotta Speed Strip. I checked to see if the paint was dry, it felt dry, looked dry, but I guess it was not dry, so it got some grey paint on the bottom of it's wheels.
Great to see you are enjoying the diecast journey!
1955 CHEVROLET BEL AIR GASSER (#1):
HOW I CUSTOMIZED THIS VEHICLE: This classic car was low from stock, so it didn’t do very well on dips and bumps (Or really any sort of curve), so I wanted to jack it up somehow, then it quickly came to me: GASSER.
I love gassers and needed to make more of them, but this is my second so far, and I had lots of fun with my first gasser, the 1962 Corvette. But that one was jacked up in the front, so I wanted this one to be different; and I jacked it up in the back.
I took the bottom chassis off (And never put it back on), filled it up with BBs, which I found out while looking on the RLD forum. Credit to
What I do to lift all of my cars is glue a single (Or two, which in this case is what I did) wheel on the bottom. The actual part where I glued on my wheel was on the ‘BB Bottom.’ Then I just glued the front wheels under the rims.
Stock paint was orange and black, but two colors that I had in mind for my gassers were pink and blue metal flake. My engine atop the hood was a 1:64 scale 3D printed and painted a good silver. I was originally thinking of doing the purple metal flake like I did on all of the trim, but that just wouldn’t look right to me.
DRIVER: Jack B. Quick
CAR: Baby Blowout
HISTORICAL INFORMATION: In 1954, as this classic was being manufactured, a Mister Ronald “Run” Riverdale was serving a silver quarter in the slammer. He got busted back in ‘45 at age 32 for running shine. A nice man. Reasonable. But had much with mixing fun and risk. Who would have thought; he needed a jailbreak! Only, he didn’t have the right car for the job. He kept going back and forth between a customized Skylark, a taxi, or just a simple bicycle.
Then all of those options were scratched out. In December of ‘54, “Triple R” got word about the new 1955 Chevy coming out in a couple of months. This was perfect. Out of all of the ‘55 Bel Airs made, none of them yet had any specific records of existence. So Ron’s pal Winston got the super cool job of going out to get the out of storage, and placing an anonymous envelope containing $20K on the manager’s front desk.
So on Christmas Eve, Winston went out , got one of the cars, and parked it out in front of the town jail. Ron “Run” had made an escape plan back in August. So at 4:37 a.m, Mr. Riverdale executed his plan, which worked wonderfully, met his new car outside (Previously delivered by Winston), and almost got a clean getaway, but was unfortunately spotted, resulting in a 10 v. 1 police chase. Ron made this plan a near four months before, so he had plenty of time to debug it. Now, even though Riverdale hadn’t been out near his old shine route for a close estimate of 10 years, he still knew the area like the chalk tallies on his jail cell wall, and got away.
He owned the legally non existing car (NO TAXES!) that he named ‘Baby Blowout,’ and used it as a stealthy moonshine runner. Then, he wanted to get rid of the Baby because he didn’t want to risk getting caught, so he parked it in front of the police station with a note: “R Run R,” then fled on July 27th, 1972.
It was impounded, and cleared as stolen then found, and has been kept in the impound yard for an even 20 years. The city sold it to a museum of old shine runners, and posted this backstory in front of the car.
But Lotta Speed knew that it’d bring in high ratings for history value, etc.
Which is were Baby Blowout has been. Well and racing.
1989 MERCEDES BENZ:
CUSTOMIZATION: Honestly, all I did was paint this car. I got some bright yellow nail polish, which I wanted because that color goes well with GITD (Glow-In-The-Dark), and coated the car with that stuff. Then, I found some glow-in-the-dark acrylic paint, and put that stuff on top of the yellow paint. The GITD luckily dries clear over the yellow, so it still has that bright yellow look. I then painted all of the rough layered acrylic with a clear top coat. This was to give it a better shine, as well as kept the acrylic from flaking off.
DRIVER: Jack B. Nimble
BACKSTORY: Mercedes Benz has always been a luxury car. And when you see this ‘89, there is no questioning that. But back in the 30s, they have always been the most widely known as the best race cars. When Jackson Blue bought this exact car brand new, he made Mercedes the hottest, and fastest cars in the Atlanta underground street racing association. So much so that the “Ben-Z” was invented. From 1991 to 2024, there have been a total of 100 Ben-Z races. All but one were won by Blue, and his ‘89 Benz.
The only race he lost was when he traded his car for a 1980 Benz. The last race of his illegal career (And his only loss in a Ben-Z) was on Thursday, January 4, 2024. It was him in his 1980 Benz versus Ronald Greene in Jackson’s old ‘89, and the three others racing were in an ‘84, a ‘59 and a 2003.
Although it was a close finish between Blue and Green, Ronald slid in for the win, turning Jackson’s Ben-Z winning percentage into a 99%. Even though Jackson was still devastated, he was still pretty proud of his old ‘89.
But instead of Ben-Z races, the 2000s and newer were his specialty.
After he jumped and totaled his ‘15 Dodge Charger, he desperately needed a new car from 2000+. So he sold the lucky winning streak Mercedes to Lotta Speed on March 7, 2024.
“Strange Magic” Rod
CUSTOMIZATION: I’ve been wanting to build my own vehicle from scratch for a while now.
The body is made from one of the 33 cent retail cars from “Turbo Wheels,” that I just cut the front off, as well as the engine. The rod down the center is just from a broken paint brush.
To make the windows black, I simply just colored the inside of the windows with black Sharpie. The engine was painted with silver metal flake, and the car with red metal flake.
CAR: Strange Magic
DRIVER: Jack Flash “Sat on a” Candlestick
HOW THE ROD CAME TO: This racer was made stock by Lotta Speed Racing. The Lotta Speed Racing owner wanted to make a whole new show: “The Lotta Speed Custom Vehicle Garage,” which would be known as a custom garage that goes either to junkyards, and bulbs one-of-a-kind cars with that stuff, or just designs their own cars to factory build, like the Conky Cab.
This car’s body was in a junkyard in a pile of other dented and seemingly ripped car bodies. This body was so squished and bent out of shape though, that they thought it would be good for rating-I-I mean cool to restore it before they use it for the vehicle.
After they did that, they got a custom built engine, named the GROUND-B.E.E.P. in their own custom factory.
When they were all finished, they named it “Strange Magic,” then Lotta Speed took it to a race, and the ratings for that episode were through the roof.
1972 Corvette Stingray Convertible (#2)
CUSTOMIZATION: I had two customizable 1972 Corvette Stingray Convertibles from Hot Wheels to work with. So what I did first was have a “Best out of three” race on the Lotta Speed strip, and my first ‘72 Corvette Stingray Convertible (The Reverend) won. So I got to work on The Reverend, which was the better car.
Then I went to the loser, this one.
I painted the body at first a light metallic blue. Afterwards, I put on a coat of thin metal flake green. That green was awesome!
The wheels needed to be changed, too. So up front, I switched the stock wheels (Which were awful, by the way) but the back wheel’s axles needed to be long, or else they wouldn’t fit. I had no other wheels that would do the job except for the original Corvette’s stock, so I had to use that.
Like The Reverend, I painted the trim a silver metal flake, as well as paint the flip up hide-away headlights a bright yellow, with the glow-in-the-dark acrylic, like I do with all my vehicles.
Finally, another thing that I do with all of my vehicles (Including this one), is cover the finished product with a clear top coat shiner.
DRIVER: Jack B. Quick
CAR: Chrystal Coat
CAR’S PAST: In a small town in Nevada, there was a high school senior who is obsessed with C3 Corvettes. Magazines. Video tapes. Posters, everything! So when he saw this car at a junkyard, he knew that he had to get it for his high school shop class. But before the Vette called the junkyard home, it was once a rich millionaire’s. He knew that Corvettes were super fun and fast.
But he didn’t want to die experiencing it, so he had it turned remote controlled, and ran it at his private stunt arena, and who’d of thought? SMASH! CLASH! Crumple. It was totaled!
So he had it sent to the junk yard in ‘74. Then the senior from before, Don Kimson, spotted it when his class took a trip there to find a car.
His class thought it was cool, so they took it, and spent the year fixin’ her up. Kimson was planning on buying it from the school, only to find that it had been stolen.
Boy, was he disappointed, but determined to track it down.
Apparently, it was found in Vegas. So he went down there, rented a ‘69 Camaro (Which doubled as his home, for this time), and searched for three weeks, and spotted it on “The Strip.”
After Don saw this, he quickly chased the accused thief, who began to flee. They had a pretty sweet car chase, like in the movies. But depending on how you look at it, this event could have been either a very bad, or a very good thing. Good because the thief, who we found out was “Macho Mike,” was caught. The bad: When Don was tailing the Stingray with his Camaro, Don left Mike with no choice but to hit a ramp.
So now the front driver’s side is all caved in, axles shot, the gas tank somehow got punctured open, and much more bad stuff had happened to it. Now it’s worth practically nothing. So Kimson bought it from the school for $25, and kept it in the garage.
Later on, Don had to move on, and make money to fix up the ‘72 Convertible, so he started his own custom garage company, ranging from converse vans, to turning some car into a super speed, high power monster truck.
He hadn’t gotten too much work on the Crystal Coat outside, due to the large amount of success with his business.
But Lotta Speed Racing saw it, and offered to Don’s business, “Custom Cardel,” that if he fixes it up, Lotta Speed would be happy to rent it out for a couple of races.
Now that Kimson has some motivation (And large sums of money), he finished the Vette in under two weeks.
After Don’s son, Jayden Kimson, inherited the business from his dad, he still agreed to loan it out to Lotta Speed Racing.
BEHIND THE SCENES FOR THIS STINGRAY: This story is based off of “Corvette Summer” starring Mark Hamill and Annie Potts. It’s available on VHS, DVD, Youtube, etc.
Hi. I am writing the script for my own TV show "The Lotta Speed Show," to give you guys entertainment, as well as a good idea of what Lotta Speed is thought of.
And you guys are my focus group, to tell me if I should keep doing an episode a week, or not.
THE PILOT
EP. 1
THE THREE MAIN CHARACTERS ARE: Jack B. Nimble, Jack B. Quick, and Jack Flash “Sat on a” Candle Stick. Nimble, Quick, and Flash for short. And Robert Dean (The Lotta Speed owner, and their boss) as almost a main character, but he didn’t make it, a side character. Another side character is Kelly, a waitress at The Checkered Flag.
SCENE 1:
SETTING: A room with black and white checkered floor tiles, light pine trim on the walls about four feet high, the actual walls are sky blue. The four-foot trim turns into the counter’s sides. The top of the counter is black and white striped. On the walls are three framed photos of cars (LEFT TO RIGHT), a 1986 Red Ferrari, a metal flake red ‘73 Corvette Stingray, and an ‘82 Buick Regal. About ten feet in front of the Corvette picture is a small round table with a marble top. Around it are four chairs. There is another one of these tables about four feet in front of the Buick. This place is called “The Checkered Flag.”
NIMBLE: So, how did you manage to do that last jump yesterday, hitting that barrier?
FLASH: I shifted too early, but still got a cool crash!
NIMBLE: Yeah, the audience thought so, but I’m not so sure that Robbie did!
FLASH: Hey, he wanted the fans to get excited, I did that for him, didn’t I?
QUICK: You did that as well as cost him about $10,000 in repairs to that Charger.
FLASH: How many people are buying Lotta Speed parts, Lotta Speed tickets, Lotta Speed merchandise, and etc?
NIMBLE: Well, just from that wreck, not $10,000 worth.
KELLY (Walks up to their table): Hey guys, I’ve got a phone call here for a Jack. That you?
QUICK: Uh, yeah, that's us.
(Kelly now leaves)
QUICK: I bet that’s for me. I’ve got someone trying to sell me a ‘69 Camaro. (Jack B. Quick now exits stage right)
NIMBLE: Speaking of cars that we all own, how's your Baja Jeep comin’ along?
FLASH: I was working on it last night, and got new brake clamps, light bars installed, and old oil replaced.
NIMBLE: Nice. How well does it run?
FLASH: You can see for yourself. Parked right outside.
QUICK (Returns): Nope. Not my Camaro guy. My boss guy. He says that we have to be at the Lotta Speed Roundabout. By 6:00.
NIMBLE: Well, it’s 5:30. Better get going.
FLASH: We can take my Jeep.
*THEY EXIT THE CHECKERED FLAG AND ARE OUTSIDE IN FRONT OF A 2001 JEEP CHROKEE. THE JEEP IS LIFTED, WHITE, HAS OFF-ROAD TIRES, OVERHEAD LIGHTS, AND LIGHT PROTECTORS ON THE HEAD, TAIL, AND OVERHEAD LIGHTS
NIMBLE: Yeah, looks much more Bajaed with the overhead lights.
*THEY ALL GET INTO FLASH’S JEEP
QUICK: So, The Roundabout. Wonder what we need to do there.
FLASH: Maybe Robbie has a new car for us to use there. The Lotta Speed Thrills Arena is being repaired, so it’s not like we can test it there.
*THEY SHOW UP AT A COMPLETELY CIRCULAR RACE TRACK. WITH STANDS THAT CAN HOLD ABOUT ONLY 1000 PEOPLE. THERE ARE 3 ½ FOOT HIGH WALLS ON THE AROUnD THE TRACK, AND CHAIN LINK ON ONLY THE OUTSIDE WALLS. A ‘CROW’S NEST’ IN THE MIDDLE. THIS PLACE IS CALLED “THE LOTTA SPEED ROUNDABOUT.”
SETTING: They are at The Lotta Speed Roundabout, where people are repainting the Crow’s nest and the back of the inside walls. Robert Dean IV (a.k.a: Robbie) is there, standing in front of three ‘66 Dodge Chargers. One is painted and sponsored by Lotta Speed, another is sponsored by the Hold My Beer Guys, and the third is sponsored by Dr. Pepper.
NIMBLE (To Robbie): Hey, I hear you needed us?
ROBBIE: Yeah, I want you three to race each other in three laps in these here Dodges.
QUICK: Okay, but you do know that we’re not race car drivers, right?
(Robbie gives him an annoyed look)
ROBBIE: Not true. Many of my competitors are getting really into racing others, and such.
NIMBLE: Well, why don’t you just get your best racer, Mason, to do that instead of your three best stunt drivers?
ROBBIE: To be honest, all of you are way better than Mason.
FLASH: Well then what about the stunt shows?
ROBBIE: People want to see more racing than stunts right now but don’t worry, we’ll still be having those races, and you’ll still be driving in them.
QUICK: So you want us to race each other to see who’s best to see who’ll be racing?
ROBBIE: Well actually, you’ll all be racing, I just want to see you guys in action.
QUICK: Alright.
*THEY ALL GET INTO THE DODGES. AND GO UP TO THE STARTING LINE. THE GREEN LIGHT GOES, AND SO DO THEY.
Lotta Speed is in first (Jack B. Nimble), with HMB following (Jack Flash “Sat on a” Candle Stick), who is neck and neck with the Dr. Pepper car (Jack B. Quick).
Lap one goes by, then two, then in lap three, Quick hits Nimble in the back, causing him to spin out, hit a wall, and come in last. Flash is first, Quick second, and Nimble is last.
*THEY ALL PARK NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND EXIT THE CARS. ROBBIE RUNS UP TO THEM.
NIMBLE (To Quick before Robbie shows up): Man, that was a dirty trick.
QUICK (As Robbie just gets up to them): Yeah, but it caused me not to lose.
ROBBIE (Heard what Quick said): That is so true! If Lotta Speed is going to not lose, we need things like that happening!
NIMBLE: So you're asking us to cheat?
ROBBIE: It’s only cheating if the rules say you can’t do it. And so far, they don’t say that, so just do as many winning moves as possible as of right now!
QUICK: So is that all?
ROBBIE: Yeah, for now. Unless you want to stay after with the track and run some laps.
NIMBLE (To Quick): Hey, wanna stay after with me and do that move again? I would like to see if there is any way to get out of it.
QUICK: I’ve got nothing else to do. Hey Flash! We’ll get a taxi!
FLASH: Alright. See ya!
ROBBIE: Hey, come here at 6:30 every night until Tuesday, that’s your qualifying race, and Wednesday is your first race.
*FLASH LEAVES, WHILE QUICK AND NIMBLE GET IN THE LOTTA SPEED AND HMB ‘66 DODGE CHARGERS, AND PROCEED TO CONTINUE DIPPING OUT OF THE TRAP.
SCENE 2:
SETTING: JACK B. NIMBLE WON THE QUALIFYING RACE AND IS AT THE LOTTA SPEED ROUNDABOUT, WHICH IS FULL OF OLD MUSCLE CARS, AND THE STANDS ARE FLOURISHING WITH PEOPLE:
ANNOUNCER 1: Well, it looks like we have a great turnout today! Thank you to Lotta Speed Racing for hosting, and the racing teams and drivers are Jack B. Nimble with Lotta Speed, Andon Greay for The Brick House, Josh Connors with Connors Parts…
*THE CAMERA GOES UP TO NIMBLE, WHO IS GEARED UP FOR THE RACE AND IS IN FRONT OF HIS LOTTA SPEED ‘66 DODGE CHARGER, AND THE ANOUNCER IS LISTING OUT THE TEAMS AND NAMES OF THE RACERS.
QUICK (To Nimble): Hey, you get into one of those traps, just do as I said.
NIMBLE: Sure thing.
ANOUNCER 1: All racers to the starting line, please.
NIMBLE: Meet you at the end of the line
*JACK B. NIBLE NOW DRIVES OFF SCREEN, AND UP TO THE STARTING LINE, WHERE 24 OTHER CARS AND RACERS ARE AS JACK B. QUICK WAVES BY TO HIM. RED LIGHT. YELLOW LIGHT. GREEN. THEY’RE OFF.
ANNOUNCER 1: There they go! It looks like the Connors Parts car is fighting with the NAPA Parts car, who is in that sweet ‘79 Trans Am, are fighting for first in these first seconds of the first-ever Lotta Speed Invite.
*THE CARS CONTINUE RACING. ONE CAR CRASHED INTO ANOTHER, RESULTING IN A 12-CAR WRECK, THAT LOOKS VERY HARD TO GET OUT OF.
ANNOUNCER 2: OHH! Big wreck with the 76 and 34 cars there! And counting! We are adding them up and just got word that there are-
ANNOUNCER 1- Twelve.
ANNOUNCER 2- TWELVE cars wrecked up ahead! It looks hard for the other twelve to get through. And so close to the end of the race, too!
ANNOUNCER 1- Oh! But it looks like car numbers 7 and 2, the Lotta Speed car and the Niobrara Lodge car made it through just before!
ANNOUNCER 2- Yes, but it’ll be hard for them to get through when they go around, seeing as how the first twelve probably won’t get off the track in time, and there could be more cars counting up in the pile!
* WE NOW SEE JACK B. NIMBLE IN HIS CAR’S SEAT.
QUICK (To Nimble over the radio): Hey! It’s lap 98 out of 100, and you have a twelve-car wreck up ahead, and a car right behind you. If you crash in all of the wreckage, and he doesn’t, he could easily come in for the win. DON’T CRASH.
NIMBLE: 10-4.
*WE SEE AERIAL FOOTAGE OF THE WRECK, NIMBLE, AND THE #2 CAR PASSING THROUGH THE ONLY FIVE CARS ON THE TRACK.
QUICK (To Nimble over the radio): Okay, last lap, all cars should be off of the track, and Niobrara Lodge is on your passenger’s side. Just keep your line for the win!
NIMBLE: Alright.
*WE SEE ABOUT 20 SECONDS OF THE TWO NECK AND NECK GOING TO THE FINISH LINE. ALL CARS OFF THE TRACK.
QUICK (To Nimble over the radio): Almost there! You can’t do what I did to you, so just hang in there!
NIMBLE (Strained): SURE!
*NIOBRARA SLOWS DOWN A BIT, GETS INTO POSITION, AND HITS JACK B. NIMBLE IN THE SNEAKY WAY QUICK DID TO NIMBLE. NIMBLE IS SPINNING, SMOKE COMING FROM THE WHEELS, TURNS HIS WHEEL, AND IS BACK ON COURSE IN TIME FOR THE WIN. PEOPLE GO CRAZY.
ROBBIE: YES! YES! FIRST RACE, FIRST WIN! YES!
QUICK (To Nimble over the radio): Hey, all that extra practice paid off, huh?
NIMBLE: Oh, yeah! Hey, thanks, man!
*JACK B. NIMBLE IS AT VICTORY LANE, AND IS SEEN BEING AWARDED THE TROPHY AND TITLE WITH MANY CHEERING. THE DRIVER OF THE NIOBRARA LODGE CAR IS ALSO SEEN AND IS IN FRONT OF HIS CAR, AND THROWS HIS HELMET DOWN.
NIOBRARA LODGE DRIVER: Darn!
*BACK TO VICTORY LANE
ANNOUNCER 1 (Interviewing Quick on Victory Lane): So how does it feel to have your first race ever be your first win, as well as a win for the race host, and your boss, Robert Dean?
NIMBLE: Aw, awesome man! It all starts in the qualifying race, ya know!
*THEY’RE NOW AT THE CHECKERED FLAG WITH THE TROPHY ON THE TABLE
FLASH: Man, Nimble, good win!
QUICK: Yeah, maybe you're a better racer than a stunt car driver. Now, that’s saying something.
NIMBLE: Thanks, man. When you get in a race, I’ll be excited to see your results, too.
*THEY ALL CLINK GLASSES THAT LOOK LIKE PISTONS
ALL: For the win!
*THE END
1965 Volkswagon Type 2 Bus
CUSTOMIZATION: It started out with just one gun. Then two. Then into a cartoonish ‘no mercy’ hippie bus.
After I got all the weapons on, I decided that that did not look comical enough. So I jacked ‘er up!
It is very awful for racing, but maybe I’ll just give it to Piston Junction or something, just for show.
CAR: Teenage Rampage
DRIVER: Josie Bloom/Robbie Deneth
HISTORY: Back in the hippie era, when this bus was built, it was immediately bought by Chris Martin. He took this sweet thing to places and events like Woodstock, Vanstock, concerts, and just simply going camping.
After he went to church a couple of times though, he cleaned up, sold the VW, and changed his ways. He sold it to a dealership, where it sat for three years, until a Monte Grimson bought it, thinking that it’d be a very good collector’s item. So after he got the title, he took it apart piece by piece, put the pieces into boxes, then the boxes into a storage compartment. This way it’s better than new when it was all put back together.
So now all the way here in 2804, a chick named Josie Bloom was driving her junky Baja, only to find the abandoned storage compartment. When she found out what the contents of the boxes were, she got her boyfriend Robbie Deneth, to help her with the assembly. When it was all put together, they tried to sell the almost factory-fresh vehicle to people. But there wasn’t really a market for that kind of stuff these days.
So, Josie just used it as a good vehicle to race with. Robbie thought the excessive weapons would be cool, and give off more of a fearsome look.
Now Josie and Robbie go racing all over.
FUN FACT: “Teenage Rampage” is also the name of a hit song made by the band ‘Sweet.’ And I also wanted the name of their town to be “Teenage Wasteland, another song, which was made by ‘The Who’ (And was also going to be the name and theme song of ‘That 70’s Show).
PHOTOS COMING SOON...
I have a 1962 Corvette from the Then and Now series, and it had a quality assurance fail, that has a string of red paint on the back passanger's side. I don't know how much it is worth. I bought it for $1.37, and heard that things like this in Mint Condition are pretty valuable. If any of you know how much it's worth, please let me know if you would please.
