Redline Revival official entry thread
You're scaring me a bit with the pink rule; I think my 2.204-at-the-LJLRC Noodle Head might be over 57g, if I were to send that; but what color would it come back as? Ha-ha-ha. I'll have to decide whether I dare to mail Jet Threat, if the Noodle Head makes the RIHWC's quarter finals and the Jet Threat doesn't.
I like the idea of putting up prizes for the grudge match! Anyone after any particular cars (so I can send them in with full confidence that they'll be returned in a matter of time)?
Also, what will the dimensions will this track be? I saw some question about that further up.
- Grudge racers are not subject to all race rules... I will not paint your original redlines — Traction-Event
Delta 6's Neighbor...is tempted
We'll see if I can find time to mod something.
This Bird is getting the full treatment... Engine work, and new sneakers this weekend... Really hated to lose the hood, maybe I can section it to fit around the Huffer???

I acquired a custom 'cuda in barely usable for parts condition that I plan to resurrect for a shot at those hot ones I was admiring. I won't get to work on it for another week or two so will be cutting it close. Please clarify entry deadline....I see 15th, Christmas and 31st....
Thanks.
- I'll be racing the week between Christmas and New Years... just being safe due to the seasonal shipping rush — Traction-Event
- love the Cuda... — Traction-Event
Built this in case there are and odd number of cars... redline 5 spokes, trimmed engine cover so you can see that engine, added a Smitty Stripe. For those thinking I hacked up a "good" vintage car this was a repaint, restore job someone else tried, got it in a package eBay deal.

So, what do you do when you have a set of redline wheels from a Demon and a small scale "Merle" (from the Walking Dead) figure on your desk?

Yup, a Redline Skateboard riding Merle!
:)
All the Grudge matches will be in the pre-race video... these races will serve as a primer to the main event. I hope to get my car sorted this weekend...
Grudge match Race bait... you beat my mod... you pick one.
