Pony Wars - Camaro vs Mustang
Sent out my pony wars and trans am entries today to MI.
Two resurrected redlines - an original 16 custom Camaro and a mustang stocker circa 1975. Original owner long ago hand painted them in matching colors. They were born for this race!
I started working on team photos today... I'll post them up on Wednesday, or once all the cars arrive. Good looking crew so far...

Just got these out of paint. Transparent candy apple red over aluminum. Had to shave weight on the Mustang to get 40g but the Camaro was light, and I opted for no additional weight.

- Honestly, my least favorite generation Camaro, but it ran well before disassembly. Dunno 'bout the Stang though. — delta6
- bellin'am red... dig it. — model40fan
- They look Great, Dan! — 72_Chevy_C10
DVB, and Rally Case showed up yesterday in the mail...all roll well, and have been weighed/numbered.
I'm working on the points sheet for this race, now will include vehicle weights.
DVB, your Camaro is all chalky looking due to out gassing of crazy glue? both your cars were at 38.g on my scale.
Speaking of points? awarded as in the past?
- Yup...points per usual...1 point per win — 72_Chevy_C10
- Thanks TE. Yep, most likely the super glue is the problem. Thought I let it air out long enough. — Dadvball

And yes, Rally Case, those cars have been waiting the last 30 years just for THIS race!! :)
TE's pix are good enough for this to be a car show in itself... nice shutterwork te...
Sorry guys. Tracking number: 9500100024095028000748
Says it won't arrive til possibly Monday. I would've done priority mail but it was twice as much and still estimated a Monday delivery. Oh well.
You can race my '68 Camaro in this round, Dan...So you have a 'Pony' in the race!
Do you have a spare 'Stang around there, TE?
I have this Challenger, FTE axles, tube car...seems to do ok... I can have it race ready for D6 if that is the plan...
uh oh another rental unit...beware.

- O J Simpson would have jumped over a school bus for a rental like that ! — model40fan
- Sounds like a plan, TE! — 72_Chevy_C10
OK, alert the media...Fat Mikes and Lukes cars got here undamaged...all dripping with graphite...
Unless we are waiting for any additional cars (Delta6 not included here) we will have a 32 car field! Yes!... that makes the brackets easier...no bye rounds.
I want to be sure that D6 is ok with running rentals this weekend.
- Awesome! — 72_Chevy_C10
- full brackets rock ! go RLD racers go ! — model40fan
- I talked to Delta, he is cool with it, TE! — 72_Chevy_C10

TE, I didn't make the PO before they closed tonight so they'll go tomorrow. Can you let me know what you get for weight? My scale only does ounces and they read 1.4 which is just under 40 grams when converted. I just want to make sure. Thanks.
