Another quick note that given the more than 30 entries into this event, this will now be a double-elimination tournament. 

Doing a round robin is out of the question with so many cars, it would take forever. But ot try and give the cars more track time, we'll do a double-elimination. And I might...might...look into doing a Rumble format with all the cars too, especially if no one is in a rush to get their Hondas back. Any extra racing would most likely be done after I get the Pro-Am started. We'll see what happens...


  • The orange one is mine. Flip's racing. The green is Thomas Filipiak. He is FPD — Flip81
  • I'm in no rush for the return of mine. — Big_Mac
  • I found another one to fill the gap that the one racing made, so I'm ok with getting it later. — RaSungod

Here's a look at the all the cars in the Entry Showcase. Sorry it's a long video but lots of cars to show off. They all look great and can't wait to see them battle it out. Good luck!

And the starting bracket is ready. Random seeding. I'll be racing cars every night this week in hopes of getting it done by the weekend which should give me time to start editing video.

See the bracket over on our Challonge page. It's too big to show in an image here.

Good luck to everyone!

The super-duper shiny paint on my entry is Metallic Mirrored Silver from Ace Hardware. It really sprayed on and dried just like you see it. I was going to layer a translucent coat of another color over it, then thought, nah ........


  • Why paint it when you can polish it to make it truly mirrored. I would tell you what I used to make mine super shinny. Nah. — Blue_Wahoo_Racing
  • Mostly because I didn’t know what to use to polish it, and didn’t have the time when I built it. I just ran it against a polishing wheel. — SpyDude

Wow mine saturated with graphite and looks like it's been through its paces without a good wash in a while LOL.  I went as close to the car in the game as I could and had fun with this oddball build.  Will be fun to see how this shakes down...can't wait for the action!

Any thoughts on if you'd prefer to see both brackets in one single video, or a video for top bracket (with final winner race) and then a separate video for the bottom bracket?

I was kinda thinking a video for each bracket just so each video is shorter....??


  • Whichever is easiest for you! One video sounds fine but if you want to split them that wouldnt be so bad either. — Mattman213
  • No preference. Whatever is easier for you. I’m itching to see it however you do it. — Dadvball
  • Whichever is easiest. — Uncle_Elvis
  • I'm going with the split video crowd. Makes it easier on you. — SpyDude

The video is about 40 minutes long covering 2 brackets so there will be plenty of time to join your fellow racers in the chat and watch the action together. Hope you can make it and watch some great racing.

Complete results, links, and updates will be made after the premiere.

Super fun race which really brought the field together as far as performance and competition.  Only so much you can do with such a short wheelbase, tiny wheel combo and it was a challenge to get every bit out of it as I could.  Thanks as always for hosting and Ive said it before but Ill say it again, Im happy to see you and your track back in action and look forward to the next race Brian!!!

Matt


  • Thanks and congrats. Your cars always seem to love my track. — redlinederby
  • I know its like its become a "home track" for me! Love it. — Mattman213
  • I hope that I’ll be able to get some decent speed out of my Pro-Am car and make it more than a couple of times down the track …. Oh, well, learn more each race what it takes to win. — SpyDude
  • Pro-Am has round robin to start so everyone will get more races no matter what. — redlinederby
