3 more entries would be great, would love to see a 16 entry, thats the number we run every week in the Fantasy League, and would make for a great looking display, maybe 3 more will jump on in... would be cool. My entry has been picked, rivits drilled from both castings, doing a combine parts from each to make something different that looks cool and hopefully runs fast.

Well I for one would welcome a challenger like Fred. I always like taking on someone much tougher than I. So come on Fred show us what you can do and good luck.

I vote Fred be the 14th entry.

My friend Daniel (Delta 6) would probably love to enter this one too. I'll see.

I'll talk with Tanner, [ (Medders501) on the fantasy league ] and see if he wants to also. He has a younger son, (Evyn) 2 years now, that had had the open heart surgery also, he was 4 months old then, so he is doing well so far. Tanner is not on the boards here, just the fantasy league with his older son, and has never done any kind of modding, but I can help him some with the little knowledge I have, will possibly have another entry that way.


FAST FRED - Go Fred Go !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like we are on our way to 16 racers....very cool. Thanks to those looking for additonal racers.


RACE HOSTS!!!!!

Please read up on double elimination tournements, and how they work/are run...etc

Treat the incoming cars as you would your own, with care.
Look them over and make sure shipping hasn't damaged them.
When staging the cars to race, take as much care as you would with your own car.

I think most of this is common sense and does not need saying......But this is a custom only challenge and the entrants have spent lots of time and effort creating these racers. Lets give them the same care and consideration we would our own cars.

That and I entered an open wheel car

I was considering entering an open wheeled car too.
Another thing that helps preserve the cars (especially open wheel cars ) is a SOFT catch at the end of the track, where cars aren't bouncing around and crashing into one another. It can be as simple as a rolled up towel placed over the the end of the track.
Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox

a rolled up towel lets the cars burrow, push and compress the towel... almost never leave the track...
HMMMMM .... i'm wondering if open wheeled cars like doing " burnouts" .
