I'm in. 57grams. 2 cars. I can host and do two different heights on my track. You can schedule it around the LJLRC weekend and that will cover two weeks if you want. We can't do a double at the club but if I do two and the club does one it'll be three for the price of two.
For those that will ask...Smitty can approve or deny....its his series!

- thanks TE... that is why i cut the years off before the models called SEDANS became blurred... — model40fan
I'm just throwing this out there. But, what comes to mind for me, when I think of older sedans, is old race cars...NASCAR, etc...like this...
Just my two cents :)
they are cool, and the bottom two are sedans... cut 'em ...
we have [4] potential hosts... if we all run double headers [dadvbal and the johnnies want a triple] would be 9 heets... how many do we want ? . IMO. more the merrier....
we must decide if the hosts want to run Saturday & Sunday heets [1 weekend]...
or 2 consecutive weekends ? ............ let me know, I will post it...
- I could run a doublr header in a weekend, Smitty...one track on Saturday, the other on Sunday — 72_Chevy_C10
- double header is not a problem — Traction-Event
- fri./ sat. or sat. / sun. works in sloppyville... — model40fan
- I can do both at my house on the same weekend. — Dadvball
I got a '66 Ford Fairlane 4dr sedan. Could you push up the cut off year by 2? If not it's ok I'm sure I've got something around here. Count me in either way.
I might just have to rescue this poor, crusty 57 Chevy for this race...
- we are gonna need a junkyard dog series sometime next year... — model40fan
- Looks like somebody had a goodtime racing it in the past. Might still be a win in the old girl. — FatMike
- Yeah, I think the old 57 might have a little life left in her still! :) — 72_Chevy_C10
- I always love resurected racers! — KandORacing
- Hey KandO, are you going to try to defend your title in the City Series? PM me :) — 72_Chevy_C10
- Oops! I better get some entries sent out, I still have your address. Thanks Chris! — KandORacing
- Cool, I'm glad that you'll be competing, KandO! — 72_Chevy_C10
- Whew, this beauty is up to $1.25...looks like I'm not the only one that likes the patina! :) — 72_Chevy_C10
- i'll look and see if i have an old '57 ? — model40fan
- Thanks for holding the event Chris! — KandORacing
- Thanks Smitty! No problem, KandO...you're the defending champ...you have the target on your back! :) — 72_Chevy_C10
sectioned Midnight Otto body cut and filed to resemble a '33 sedan... on a '34 coupe's base w/ rear bumper removed, rear fenders bobbed, engine has 2 oddball carbs and has been lowered...
- Looking good, Smitty! I've already started plotting some cars for this race! :) — 72_Chevy_C10
- lets have a look ! — model40fan
- I think they are going to all be tri-5 Chevy...I'll get some pics a little further along — 72_Chevy_C10
Man I've got to get moving. I haven't even picked my cars out for the Wagons or truck team race yet!
I found the '57 C I was thinking about... oops, I cut the roof of to make it a convertible a year ago... ouch...IT WAS A REDLINE...
redline base ...
C10, do you want it anyway ?
- That's okay, Smitty...I have some Tri-5's around here...thanks though! — 72_Chevy_C10
- I just really liked the crusty patina on that ebay '57...it sold for $7.00!! — 72_Chevy_C10
- $7.00 American ? — model40fan
- Yeah, I would have given a couple bucks for the patina, but I guess some guys really wanted it! It was $7.00 plus shipping! — 72_Chevy_C10
I definitely have one car for this race already...sometimes the cars go together so easy...and then, there is 'trying to make a fast pickup truck'!
:)
Is this 1903 to 1964 or 1964 to 2003? Duh I think I figured it out......DOH!!
