Redline National League [RNL] [Mail-in Event]
GsR~ what is that black car with the ghost on it? Is it a Matchbox?
Yes, a 1985 MBX Halley's Comet commemorative car. There were 3 castings originally offered in black with the ugly 'ghostly comet' tampos...a Pontiac Firebird SE, a Mercury Police car, and the Chevy Pro Stocker. Last year, a Halley's Comet Firebird caught my interest in the DCR racing series(it was competitive & consistent against heavy HW Ferraris). I was lucky enough to find this Pro Stocker(in blister) on a flea market table...it was less than $1.

And along with that Front Runnin' Fairmont, its probably one of the fastest cars i've ever seen.
Wow! That's quite a compliment coming from that. The Faimont & Pro Stocker just happened to be prime candidates. But there's still several weeks of racing left and I already know these substitute cars won't go down easily.

Smart move! Probably picked cars which have high acceleration since the track is short? Just my guess! I think at this point in the event, its mostly a battle for second place as I am doubtful that anyone is going to put your team to rest. You still have 4 undefeated cars, which is insane at this point in the series! Though im going to do my best to take them out!

That was a good thing about King Kenny; while he wasn't too good on the straight, he was excellent at initial acceleration (look closely at the video with him vs. NerveHammer's F/C).
Oh. Is there any chance you could send it back sooner?--if it isn't inconvenient? It's harder to race the cars at home with so many spaces in between them, and maybe it wouldn't embarrass itself so much at the RI clubs.
Just shipped it home this morning! Should be back in CT by the end of the week.

PLAYOFFS PICTURE:
The gap between 6th and 7th has grown much larger as neither Weber Cabin, DVB or Friction Fiction were able to pick up a lot of points this week - which these teams desperately need!
At the top of the bracket, GsR officially secured a top 2 finish this week with his big win against WorpeX Racing. The only team with a chance of catching him now is JDC and its a long shot. GsR needs to lose his last 2 races 0 - 5 for that to happen! WorpeX Racing dropped down to 4th with FOTF and HalfFast closing in quick! Nervehammer jumps to 3rd in the series!
Week 9 brings us some key races as GsR finally gets a much needed rest. WeberCabin is against the shattered WorpeX Racing which is looking to regain its honor in this match. WCR needs a big win here or else they're basically done as they have yet to have a bye meaning they can only get a max of 10 more points. JDC and FOTF should have easy 4-1 or 5-0 wins this week. FrictionFiction has to deal with NerveHammerFTE who is on a hotstreak. Team Fiction desperately needs points if they want to say alive!
The big match this week is DVB vs Team HalfFast. I can't help but feel as if DVB has an incredible team but has yet to really be able to show their potential. The team is down a ton of points but they're against the 5/6th place Team HalfFast. Both teams are sitting at 3 wins and 4 losses! A big win from DVB would bring him back into this tournament! HalfFast is looking at pulling away and breaking the top 4 and he can do it too...
We'll have to see what happens in week 9!
Edit: Also, there will be no video for Week 9... sorry guys! Ill be on vacation next weekend so I wont be around!
Congrats to GsR and all the other winning teams. I had my fingers crossed watching my Magnum but the GsR team is tough to beat. There's always next week.
Thanks Worpex for the great (once again) video action!
