Pony Wars - Camaro vs Mustang
Not going to be able to run a double header, my car is in the shop till Saturday noon... Sunday is Daytona 500 day, the Blue hairs will want to eat in the racing room at the Gridiron as on Sunday it is the quietest spot in the place... I will start at 11;AM as soon as they open, it takes me a couple hours to run a 32 car elimination... they will want me out as close to flag drop if possible... they never charge me for the room so I don't want to be a pain...
I will be able to run double headers when it warms enough for me to race in my garage attic...
come on spring !

Great job, Smitty! Congrats to Keed921! First time winner! First UK winner!
This should tighten the points a little...double header next weekend to settle it!
Great race! Congratulations to Keith on his first win, always neat to see someone with the same name winning :D
Cheers guys, that was a close run bracket A final.
Great race report Smitty. Thanks for the car Chris lets hope my entries for the rookie race are as good.

- No problem, Keith! I'm glad that it is doing well! — 72_Chevy_C10
setting up for pix... #55 white convertible came apart...
IMO... when you glue the bodies and bases together put a little glue around the peg inside the car... just glueing the end of the pin to the bottom of the base is not enough surface area to grip... if you use the glue I do you can easily pry the body from base to re-use the axles if wanted...
I am repairing the #55 as we type.
