I ran all the cars down the track just to check that they are all rolling okay...and all are well. And, even if there aren't a lot of cars, it looks like there are some very fast cars in this bunch! I wasn't really watching times, but they look to be on par with the Sedans that raced...and those cars were fast!

Remember that the top 3 Rookie cars from the race on Saturday will make this a field of 16...look out for some of those Rookies!

Good luck to all!

One thing that you'll want to notice, boys and girls, is that the gold Chevelle of Traction Event is NOT running fte wheels. And I have a sneaky suspicion that car might be pretty quick!

Just giving you something to keep an eye on :)

In an effort to bring something different, I've learned how to hydro dip cars. The process takes film/graphics laid across water then sprayed with an aerosol activator to apply graphics that would be unable to be applied to 1/64 scale cars in such detail. Once the graphic is ready(60 secs) you dip the object at an angle slowly it is applied to the object. When it has dried clear coat and it's set! So fun & I can't wait to bring more to the community.

  • Wild option indeed...especially for me who can't paint...details needed — Traction-Event
  • this video show some awesome applications https://youtu.be/enFSoiCo-lA — 2seven
  • I'very seen video of this...applying a carbon fibre look to rims...cool stuff! — 72_Chevy_C10
  • Its not easy and can be frustrating if its not applied right, becase the paint has to be stripped again.But man it can create works of art — 2seven

The first round is in the books...

http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w407/critterwerks/Mobile%20Uploads/20150404_162316_zps4fzmaaqt_e...

Notes on the first round...the White Zombie ran into a buzzsaw  with C10's Krusty Dodger...CCRIDER and UDC had a battle with the Diesel Boy narrowly winning...Stroller's  '68 Camaro rolled past UDC's Chevelle...Rally Case put his alignment jig to good use and rolled straight past AMH-412...the Snow-covered Vandeta  was able to just get by Smitty's  Orange #99...2Seven's  beautiful, flamed Willys was no match for C10's Vlad the Impala...DadVBall's, Smitty-built Galaxy Gasser was lightning quick over AMH-412's other corvette...and Smitty's  Yellow #98 put up a good fight, but Traction Events Gold Chevelle rolls on.

Here are the round 2 match-ups. ...

Round 2 is in the books...

http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w407/critterwerks/Mobile%20Uploads/20150404_165607_zpsytfmdxeg_e...

Notes on round 2...CCRider's Diesel Boy had a pretty good run come to an end, with the Krusty Dodger win by about a length and a half in both lanes...Stroller aND Rally Case had quite a battle, with Whipped Cream moving on (I love the Semi Final match-up next round)...MoHasFastCars Vandango put up a good fight against Vlad, but the Impala is moving on...and DadVBall's Galaxy continued to put on quite a show by taking Traction Event's Chevelle by about a half length in each lane.

Semi Finals coming up!

The Semi Finals...

Middleweight Semi Final: https://youtu.be/YwdBX0bCkUE

I'm not real happy with the Maxx Traxxx finish line...it is still firing the right lane early. 

But, the margins in the Semi Final round were pretty easy to call. Rally Case was still running really well, But the Krusty Dodger had him by about half a length in each lane. DadVBall's Gasser Galaxy continued  to impress...handling Vad the Impala easily. 

The Finals and 3rd Place race will be a little later tonight.

  • Interesting, mine fires the right lane early too. — MoHasAFastCar
  • ( is one wire longer than the other from the factory? — CrzyTrkrDude
  • like : if a set of audio speakers has one wire longer, it effects the sound, ( just thinking out loud...) — CrzyTrkrDude
