Jump to last page

Idea is to take a stock "well played with" original Redline Hotwheel and race them.

Here is my twist to the event... (sacrilege to some)  DRILL IT, and you have to replace the wheels/axles. My idea is to take an original Redline and refresh the performance. FTE's, 5 spokes, black walls, you name it anything but the original bearing type wheels and axles. ALL racing and Grudge matches will be videoed...

Sign me up Chris. I know I've been bad about forgetting to get cars out to races lately but this one is very interesting so I'll get them out for sure for this one.

  • Grudge match, as C-10 said, but I would assume it would be original redline vs a modified car. Bragging rights — Traction-Event

The stock Redline from 1967 should get a 1 carlength handicap over the modded Heavy Chevy. Just to even the playing field, it's only a carlength, right?



  • The bird would need the longer drop to get the speed up to match the Chevy's FTE's — Nightstalker

If TE can come up with a way to launch them and give you a length, I'll do that, Stalker! (Now I feel like I'm on Pinks!)


  • Or TE could a car length in front of the finish line and use the normal start gate? — 72_Chevy_C10
  • yup — Nightstalker
  • let me see what I can work up for you two... — Traction-Event
  • drag tracks starting pegs under one cars front axle, rear of the other ? — fordman

Here's what I'll put up...your choice, Stalker...

http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w407/critterwerks/20151120_203334_zpsleufmu2n.jpg

A Foose Firebird or a Studebaker pickup, both by M2...let me know!

And yeah, what Stalker said...we can't be the only ones grudge racing. Who's up for racing the winner...TE, Smitty? Or, does anyone else have any quick original redlines they would like to race?


  • i was hoping FOTF would join in the grudge side of this event. I'll post some race bait shortly — Traction-Event
  • Sweet! — 72_Chevy_C10
  • I'm liking that Foose Firebird — Nightstalker
  • Okay, Stalker, the bird is the word! It will go in the box! — 72_Chevy_C10
