Drilled rivets
Cars must be stripped of paint
All Muscle Cars (1960 - 1976 Domestic Cars -no convertibles)
Any wheel type except HSW (black tire only please)
1 - 2 Entries (no team points, so 1 entry okay)
Limit to 59 grams
Cars must fit Hot Wheels orange track
***Single Elimination*** (see notes below)
Bellingham Race Format: In order to more accurately rank the cars for a seeded single-elimination race "FINALE" in Michigan, I'll be running a total of eight single elimination races in Bellingham. Each car entered will compete in four single elimination races.
***Example: Traction Event's Nova will race in four single elimination races and his El Camino will race in the other four single elimination races for a total of 8 races/brackets. *Teams will not race against themselves in Bellingham except in the event of a points tie -raceoffs will be held for tie breakers.
I will be posting the 8 brackets as soon as I receive all of the entries.
**Team DaniCal: in the event we end up with an odd number of cars entered, my wife and son will enter a car to make the total number of cars entered an even number.
Cars will earn 1 point per win in these single elimination battles. The car with the most points at the end of the eight races will receive 14 points / 2nd: 12 points / 3rd: 10 points / 4th: 9 points / 5th: 8 points / 6th: 7 points / 7th: 6 points / 8th: 5 points / 9th: 4 points / 10th: 3 points / 11th: 2 points / 12th: 1 point
Michigan Race Format: One 26 car single elimination seeded bracket (one point per win) These points will be added to the points earned in Bellingham to determine the 9 podium places and the overall winner and owner of the JDC custom made trophy.

Twist: No numbers will be assigned: cars will be shipped to Bellingham bare, where I'll mask and paint the roof of each entry an assigned color for identification.
WINNER TAKES ALL!!!: I'll be making a 9 tier trophy for this event to display the top 9 finishers.
The racer with the fastest car will get all the cars along with the trophy (host excluded -if I ended up winning, the cars would be shipped back to their homes after the trophy/podium photo was taken)

Discussion
Two questions:
1) on the bare metal - can it be polished?
2) as to the tires are you intending it to be only black tread/side wall color - still allowing for different rim finishes? (I think this wording would still eliminate all non-black colored "wheels"?
Winner take all? I'm listening and nodding my head.... Yup I'm in....I'd take yellow but I'll assume Carl might need it. Red for me please

Yes, polish away if you want.
Rims can be silver, gold, or even black.
Black tires only - I'm just trying to avoid colored wheels like the High Speed Wheels. I want the cars to look somewhat authentic.
NO HIGH SPEED WHEELS PLEASE
I will sign up for "red". If you run out of colors - I am willing to change to a dark red/maroon/oxblood if needed or available.
[columbo]Just one more question... Can we add stipes/stickers/decals to the bare metal finish or should they be street racers for the overall authenticity?
the sloppies are color deficient, any color will do...

she still needs a good stripping, wheel well hogging, FTEed '55 B.A.base, has 25% of Byefocal II's induction ;
crew can play Monopoly in the back while TE tunes his winner...
YUP...
for those who seldom strip paint, most "hot wheels classics" series cars are chromed under the paint... hhmmmmm
