Discussion
Will this count towards the 2017 points series? Also, will it be the same track as this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iMuVaG01IY
I'm enjoying the Lightweight race so far, by the way!

To answer Voxxer and FOTF's question about the track, it will most likely be the one in the video that FOTF posted above or the track in the following video. At any rate, a 6-8 foot downhill section followed by an 16-18 ft. flat section.
Building a 71 Mach this weekend....hoping C10 gets me back my GTO, the other two just need a dry lube refresh and there ready to roll. Plan is to race 3 builds and 1 new build....C10....I need my GTO:)
Be sure to get your teams sent off this week.
Racing got underway last night. Hope to have some video up by Wednesday!
I missed the boat again...bummed and sorry....getting Tobacco Road up and running has been the priority lately on the HW front. I do look forward to watching the racing action!!!!
- No problem Tobacco Road is looking awesome! Our cars for it are on the way. Should get there in the next day or two. — Diecast64
- Sounds great...I'll be on the look-out!!! — LeagueofSpeed
Going to need one more day for the video. Should upload it late tonight, so expect it when you wake up on Thursday morning! :)
Results from the Team Tetrad race. Teams consisted of 4 cars. Each car raced once in each lane with random match-ups. The slowest time was dropped and the remaining 3 times were averaged to determine the fastest car. Team results were found by adding up the place of each car on the team. The team with the lowest points wins.
Pls post pic of track.
