WHOOO HOOOOO!!!  I was hoping my cars had gotten there.  I just hope my two don't finish last and next to last.

Fyi, HappyCamper...those aren't actually 5-spokes on your one car (see the link in the first post). But, I don't really see those wheels as an advantage, so, your car can run...I just wanted to mention it.

I got so caught up in the rest of the process I should have looked closer.  I am a little embarrassed.  Thanks for letting it run anyway.

The day you've been waiting for is drawing near! The Rookie Race is almost here! The team pics will be coming in the next two or two...and then the bracket...and, of course, the race on Saturday!

Now, since the Middleweight race will be going on at the same time as the Rookie race, here is what is going to happen.

We are only going to have 13-14 Middleweights, so the top 2-3 Rookie cars are also going to race in the Middleweight Race! When I have all the cars, I'll let you know the final numbers...but it is probably going to be the top 3!

Good luck to all....and Welcome!

I've run all the cars down the track to make sure that they are all rolling okay...and they are!

My initial impressions are that it should be a pretty good race! Without really watching the times, it looks like there are some speedy cars amongst the rookies!

I hope that everyone has fun watching their cars run for the first time! It's exciting to follow the progress of your cars. I hope that you will all continue to keep building cars and competing...it's really pretty fun!

I'll have the bracket posted tomorrow, so you'll know who you will be racing. There are 15 cars, so I will run one of my '57 Chevy, track tester cars as filler to make it a field of 16. And remember, the top 3 will progress to the Middleweight race on Sunday!

Good luck!

Hey Guys,

Race day is finally here! I've had my coffee...I'm going to give the track a wipe-down and one last check. And then, we are off to the races!

And, by the way, the track is a very standard track for me...20" drop and 160" straight. I'm using the Drag Track starting gate and the Maxx Traxxx finish line.

Stay tuned!
