Redline National League [RNL] [Mail-in Event]
The RIHWC can tell you allll about what happens when I get into modifying...
A horrendous disaster?
A horrendous disaster?
Picture a Back Slider. With a Chevelle on it. That Chevelle is filled with putty to make it heavier. Now picture about three tons more of putty used to hold that Chevelle onto the back of the Slider, along with a few strips of Scotch tape. The RIHWC people were disgusted to merely look at it, let alone touch it...
it...
Oh the horror!!! Haha that's not too horrendous. I once taped 2 VW Brasilias to each other, when I tried to make a 4oz car.

Yeah, I used to consider strapping a couple of big vans to each other--roof-to-roof. I've also considered letting a BWF Camaro bumpdraft a Boogie Van.
But you did make it faster.
I currently have a 'Bumblebee' Boogie Van, hollowed out and stuffed with little weights and putty with Bling wheels. I've never gotten around to sticking FTE's on it; but when I do...
Haven't updated this lately. Going to go with JDC's method of best vs best. However, it may not be exact as I don't want any repeat matches from the first time the teams faced each other. So! Here we go:
NerveHammer FTE Racing
Cadillac V-16 vs Firebird Funny Car
Triumph FTE vs Viper RT/10
Lancer Evolution FTE vs Cadillac Escalade
Way 2 Fast vs GT Racer
Dieselboy vs Fairlady Z
Team HalfFast
Orange Willies vs Mustang Fastback FTE
'69 BWF Camaro vs Chrysler 300C FTE
Ford Thunderbird Stocker vs 1997 Ford F150
Cadillac Escalade vs 2009 Corvette Z1*
White Lightning Silverado vs Ferrari Testarossa
*Corvette to replace Shoe Box for play-offs. Also, Corvette vs Silverado was already raced in week 3, resulting in a silverado win.
Wow, good job GSpeedR! I'm honestly surprised to get 100% killed. But that's all right--maybe GSpeedR's going to win or something.
I just took another look at the first video team FOTF was in...then I saw this afterwards.
Well, Carl...this weekend's video should be interesting, shouldn't it?
I did my RNL homework, and I saw something strange. GsR's Chevy Pro Stocker didn't beat BWF as badly as HF's Mustang; however, the Chevy did beat the Mustang--2-0. Worse than it beat the Camaro. I found that interesting.
Team Friction Fiction have both loaded up their trailers and are ready to head back home on Saturday! After such a long event, the cars are ready to return back to a race coarse that they are more familiar with! I hope both teams had a great time, even though neither advanced into the play-offs!!
If the owner of both of these teams could send me a Private Message with a return shipping address, that would be fantastic! I just want to make sure that they get home safely!
Thanks!!
Worpex, my team had a great time. The crews will get together after a short vacation to survey any damage and then get back to work determining which areas need work to improve our performance. The Factory Wars team was slow getting organized and only finalized their entries in the last few days. Only one car was modified due to serious setbacks trying to modify two of the others. Still, they are hoping to show some improvement. They're already getting cocky with the RNL guys, but there's nothing wrong with a little in-house competition. We'll have to wait and see.
Thanks again for hosting such a great event. The videos and commentary were awesome! I looked forward to the weekends. Great job!
Sending you a pm with my address just in case.
Finally! The time has come to put RNL to an end!! I want to thank everyone for participating! I had an absolute blast with this event!!! I hope the final video is a worthy conclusion to such a massive challenge!! You all sent in some seriously fast cars!! Only the fastest cars can win though... was it yours? Find out below!!

Also, as promised, DVB Racing and Team Friction Fiction were sent home yesterday morning with your cars and prizes. Please let me know when they arrive so that I know they got home safely! Thanks!
Oh, okay. Thanks anyway (I guess it pays to have a third fast BWF Camaro on hand!). But 'None of the Above'...that's gonna be a tricky one. I might have to try modifying for that. The RIHWC can tell you allll about what happens when I get into modifying...
See you in the playoffs!
