The Bluebird Special
Gonna have to chunk out these videos, so here's the first four qualifying races. I think YouTube changed some of there tools again so HD quality isn't what I was hoping for, but good for now. I'll try harder on the next videos.

Bracket has been updated with qualifying results.
- Looking like Team 1.64 has some learning to do, which we kinda expected — ChiefWopahoo
- That Gold Hot Ones car I have to face next round is AWESOME!!! I love the swap! — Mattman213
- Thanks Mattman,I think it looks better than it runs LOL — JACRacing
And that was the final RLD mail-in race of 2019 is in the books! Congratulations to Go Time on a great win, edging out 41-14 in the final to take home the Bluebird Special crown.
There was some awesome shots traded in Round 2 between LoS and Mattman213...it went 7 matches with a tie to boot! Not to mention, League of Speed had a hard fought battle coming out of Round 1. Highlights playlist from all all rounds below. Full results here.

I'll be packaging up cars as soon as I can but they might not get done before all the holidays coming up. If you need your car back sooner than later, PM me and I'll do my best to get them out. Otherwise, I appreciate the understanding.
Here's hoping everyone has a safe and fun holiday with their family and friends. And to hoping Santa puts a few cars in your stocking.
- Wow!!! Good stuff, good racing and both cars went further than I could ever hope. Congrats Go_Time and 41-14!!! — Mattman213
- Thanks for hosting. That was a lot of fun. I didn't come out with a win but I sure gave Go Time two super close races. Bring on 2020!! — Red_Pill-Racing
That was a lot of fun...and some quality builds for sure...thanks for hosting!!!
I'm in an 8-way tie for 9th place!! Nowhere to go but up. Thanks Brian and looking forward to doing this as often as I can.
This was a suprise...I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it out of the first round facing NDR. Great racing and great builds everyone. Thank you for hosting Sir...well done!
- Congratulations on the win and another great build. I was right there with you but didn't quite have enough to get it done. See you in 2020! — Red_Pill-Racing
- Yes you were. what I failed to mention was that I knew if I managed to get passed the first round then I'd be facing Red Pill...another heavy hitter. Great racing! — Go_Time
- Good race and congrats on kicking my butt — NDeavers80
Thanks for hosting. That was a lot of fun. I didn't come out with a win but I sure gave Go Time two super close races. It would be really cool to see some grudge races after the tournament. Id love to see my 510 outrun MDG, NDR, 41-14 and LOS. LOL. Bring on 2020!
Not the triumphant return to racing I had hoped for... But it's great to be building and racing again with you all.
Brian thanks for hosting. Congrats to the winner!
Overall there were 4 match-ups that went more than the standard 2 runs, which is the most I've seen on my track in while, if not ever. I should record my microphone one time when I do these because whenever there is a close battle - especially a tie - it's quite the response.
- Ha I was thinking the same thing when the Wife's wagon went back and forth with LOS's car, woulda loved to have heard the commentary LOL — Mattman213
Thanks for hosting Brian. Great tournament. It was a fun build and congrats to everyone who participated. Some amazing builds there.
and a big congrats to Go Time on the win. Wasn't expecting mine to make it to the final.
- No surprise here...you're building quite well right now — LeagueofSpeed
- Well what can I say. I learnt from one of the best out there. — 41-14
That was some close racing action. Thank you Brian. Enjoyed being back on track with RLD racers. Congrats to everyone especially the winner! Racing calendar for 2020 is filling up. See you, on the line!
Just a quick update that all cars were shipped out today. I'd expect them by early next week. PM me if you want a tracking number. Thanks!
Looking Forward to the results!!!! Interested to see how my Lil Bluebirds fared.
