1st Annual Pick-Up Truck Throw-Down...

72_Chevy_C10 Monday, 8/11/2014

Hi Guys,

As many of you have noticed, I kinda like my pick-up trucks...and with the current 'Hauler Series' race going on, I thought that it would be fun to a Pick-Up Truck Race!

This will be open to any make of Pick-Up Truck, with any wheels...65 gram maximum weight...1.30 inch maximum height, fitting on an orange track. I'd like trucks to be full-bodied pick-ups, but I will let wrecker bodies, emergency vehicles and hot rods will be allowed (yup, Bone Shaker is a pick up truck!).

I will host the first and last race...the  first race will be with a low start gate height, with the finals being held with a much higher start height. I am looking for hosts...I will host on October 12th...please let me know if you'd be interested in hosting in the weekends after that (10-18, 10-28, 11-1, 11-8). Or, if you'd like to host and these dates don't work, let me know when you can host!

It will be a single elimination race, with 1 point for a win, and 2 points for winning...but, rather than draw random seeds, I will qualify them and seed them (fastest against slowest, 2nd fastest against 2nd slowest, etc). Hosts can do random seeding or follow the results from the previous race to seed the trucks.

Let the fun begin!

This is my current fast truck, but I'm pretty sure it's not fast enough to keep up with you guys...

Here's an early 'body fit' on this truck...

The Kart Haulers are on a Street Creeper chassis, and uses the '67 Chevy C10 cab...this one is going on a Way2fast chassis (should I call it 'Way2Chevy?) and is using the '69 Chevy C10 cab. 

I'm going to be molding and casting the interior/flatbed, if anyone would want one. I might cast the body too...I'll see how ambitious I am. So, just give me a shout if you are interested :)

More pics to follow!

I know that October is quite a while off, but is anyone interested in hosting? Traction Event, Smitty, DVB, Delta 6, KandO (Or anyone else)? Let me know if you think you could host...nothing carved in stone, but, I'd like to see who'd be interested.

Thanks Guys!


Chris

Hi Guys!

I think that I'm going to push this race back a little bit. I'd like the Cops and Robbers race and the Wagon Wars race to happen first. So, the Pick Up Throw down will happen...just a little later!

In the mean time, the City Series race will still be going on!


Thanks!

Guess who's coming out of the garage again for this one? I'm determined to continue building my C-10 Gasser until it performs. http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr253/danielcollick/IMAG0777-2_zps2331aa3b.jpg


  • Awesome, Delta! Ya gotta love a green C10! :) — 72_Chevy_C10
