Season 6, Week 5 preview

There are 3 tournaments running this weekend, all on the official Redline Derby track so there's a lot to cover and a lot of cars to talk about.

Ferrari 308 has been itching to take the crown for a while so this might be the bracket to see that happen. On the "interested to see what happens" side, the Lambo and Audi-Ferrari match-ups could go either way and might be the difference makers when it comes to points.

Chevy Stocker make another suspension-pounding win out of round one at least. A lot of the match-ups could go either way, especially in the middle of the pack with the Drift Car and the Ford GT. I sense that you'll either do really well or really bad in this bracket, it's going to be all or none.

Camaro Z28 is making its league debut and sits squarely in the underdog category thanks to its light weight.

I don't understand, what is the "numbered" class?

"Numbered" class is made up of cars that have a number in their name. Ferrari 458, Twin Mill 3, VW Type 181...and so on.

Speaking of numbered cars, Olds 442 is a good one

Any chance we could add a faster 442 to the league? The one in there now runs like an old dog.
Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox
I've got an extra one of these if you're willing Brian

I have several as well. I haven't done any same-model updates in a while, I hope to do that before the Spring.

Although they share the same name, this Olds 442 is a different casting than the one that's in the league. The league 442 is a 1968. The blue one above is a 1969.

I have another casting of the 442 in stock but it's not in the league yet. It's 80s/90s release and it is without the spoiler.

This one:
Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox

I have a big box full of cars that are league-ready but not added yet. Next season I'll of course add a good dozen more as rookies but next year all cars will be in and game-ready all the time, so everyone will be able to see what I have and don't have. I have more than is in the list on the site and more than are on Flickr.

Man, I'm making some pretty brave choices in these brackets. A lot of my picks are cars that the 'Favorite Picks' column thinks will lose badly. Hopefully I get lucky!
