Understood. I just don't want to send away cars for six weeks, have them do nothing in those six weeks, and then end up not doing anything else for the rest of the time they're gone anyway (as that would be the time all my cars performed perfectly). That's why I'm not sending them with the Initial Five.

Makes sense. Thats why I added in a replacement period cause then teams who aren't doing so hot can have a fighting chance at getting themselves back into the game!

Cars in transit...should be there Monday.

Also, 1 minor roster move....my CUL8R FTE has been replaced by a modified #48 CUL8R mainline(like the one in my avatar).

Pics of #4 and #5 and the whole team. As a whole I'm pretty happy with them. Aside from the Mustang the others run almost neck and neck. But I'm not telling you if that means the 'Stang runs faster or slower. You'll have to wait to find out.
The Maisto Hot Rod was done as a beater/rust bucket. I'm hoping it becomes good friends the the Sloppies and learns a few things. The Charger was a last minute decision and as I only had three of the 2.5 gram fishing weights left it only took about 15 minutes to put together. I spent much of the night fine tuning the others and adding weights. Other than maybe doing a little paint detail I'm not touching them again. I'll get them in the mail either Monday or Tuesday.

Worpex, will you be weighing these? I'd be curious to know what you come up with so I can compare them to what I get on my work scale. I'm hoping to buy a pocket scale soon. Thanks.

Guess what came in the mail today? Probably the scariest team of 5 cars i've ever seen!!! GspeedR's entry's!!! Since they were the first here, I figured i'd do a photo opp with them. Haven't run them on my track as I see some graphite on the CUL8R [Speaking of which, for everyone else, only Dry Lubes please - like graphite]. Don't want to wear it out before the tournament!!

That's one of the details I'm planning on doing. Tail lights. Hopefully you guys will get a good look at them

Here is the Google Docs spreadsheet for the event! Still working on the car points page, but the League Schedule and Team points are done. Take a look and see what week you're up against everyone and when you have a bye!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub ... utput=html

Also, I realized a small issue that I didn't notice before with replacement cars. If we start at week 6, teams with a bye in the first half of the league will get 6 races with the new cars and teams with a bye in the second half get 5 weeks with them. SO, we can either just leave it like that, OR, teams without a bye in the first half of the event start their new cars on week 7 instead. What do you guys think?

I'm a bit confused, so I might leave it how it is.
Looks cool, though; I'm excited for Week 1 (along with the other nine--but None will happen until One happens).

I just realized that if one more team were to enter real quick like the schedule would remain the same and there wouldn't be any byes!

I already have 25 races to do every week plus make a video. Another 5 is too much for me, sorry.
