Cops and Robbers II - The Chase
For those of you that were wondering who the Romanator is , he is my 4 year old grandson, Roman. He has been collecting HW and MB cars for about a year and has about 500 of them so far. I have given him a few but he has collected most of them himself, with his Mom and Dad's help. Anyways now he wants to race with Grandpa. So please welcome him. He told me he will wave at you as he goes by........Stroller.
- Welcome Romanator! Good luck! — KandORacing
- welcome rom... — model40fan
- Teach him well, glad to have him racing with us! — Traction-Event
- Welcome Roman! Good Luck! — 72_Chevy_C10
- Hi Roman, FatMike sitting in the other lane waving back at you. Welcome — FatMike
- Now, Romanator must be mdofiying his entries, obviously, right? — KandORacing
- Romanator is four years old so using power tools is out of the question. So I will help him. — Stroller
- Any objections? :) — Stroller
- OK That's good. I was just making sure his cars will be modified, to be fair. — KandORacing
- He can modify his cars with a hammer. LOL — FatMike
- he usually uses a flat rock..lol... — Stroller
There has been a entrant change up on the first post. Please take a look..... : )...........Stroller.
If someone is going to change the rules just to make sure an entrant isn't going to win with a car they don't like, is there really a point for the targeted racer to enter? Apparently, someone doesn't think 70g-max mods can stand up to stock BWF Camaros. Guess I should have held my tongue ( should I really have to?). Tape I can understand banning; but stockers should be banned before the series start if they are to be at all, instead of waiting till a scary one comes along .
As for the series-- despite that mentioned above, I hope everyone racing in it enjoys it. I remember it from last time--it really does have a cool theme.
- the world according to "SCOTTY" — model40fan
- I did not see your "scary" car description till after I changed the rules back to modifieds only. — Stroller
- If you think that using tape was bad as in illegal then don't you think you should disqualify yourself and pass first place. — Stroller
- down to the second place car? — Stroller
- After the flack I've gotten for BWFs and stockers, it seemed far too coincidental (it's the very next post after mine you changed them). — FOTF
- If I'm wrong, you have my apologies. — FOTF
- I do not lie cheat or steal, so I don't need your forgiveness. — Stroller
- As for tape-Haulers series said nothing about it. However, it can make some potentially ugly cars (and some probably view it as lazy modding — FOTF
- can you read scotty ? ... car GLUED to the truck... i checked — model40fan
- : ) — Stroller
- "Vehicles must be joined, glued together...no loose projectiles," They were joined quite securely; did the winner come apart once? — FOTF
- Well you do seem to be coming apart, now...... — Stroller
- scotty do you know the difference between glued and taped ?... — model40fan
- I'm sure he does Capt. Kirk.... what matters is that it said "cars secured to truck" — KandORacing
- Well, they were secured, weren't they? — KandORacing
- did you see the word glue...?... did you see the word tape ?... — model40fan
- Give me a break.... it's over with. Get over it. — KandORacing
- More secure than a couple glued ones were...same goes for MBX series. NO LOOSE PJTS seemed to be emphasized. — FOTF
- Don't twist the subject--look at the point: he changed the rules after I announced my entry. Should've thought of it sooner or not at all. — FOTF
- Imagine if it had been you. Have a nice series. — FOTF
- Yep. Let's just race. Although after Cops n Robbers & Wagon Wars are over, I'm leaving this site — KandORacing
- gonna be a great series ! — model40fan
Well enough about that. Traction Event awarded the win to FOTF and so be it. And just like he did, this is my tournament and I set the rules. Like it says at the top this is a drilled rivet, modified vehicles only event. If you think I changed the rules to spite someone or hurt their feelings you are wrong. I like running modifieds much more than opening a packaged car and sending it off to race. Where is the creativity in that? No professional race team enters a car in a race without modifying it. or even building one from the road up. If any one wants to run a stock only race have at it. Some people will undoubtedly join it so please quit whining about what I am doing. This is going to be a cool close event. Nuf Sed! I wish everyone good luck......Stroller.
- Exactly. It was TE's series, and he apparently didn't have a problem with it. If he said it was OK, then it was OK — KandORacing
- Plus, I also said it was OK to run stockers in my event as well. It's to the host's discretion. — KandORacing
- OKay can we see some more pictures you guys cars?? — Stroller
- I'll take more pics of the entries when they come here — KandORacing
Clayfeet has almost finished her cars and Roman and I are just about done with our cars. Last gluing is tomorrow then pics then shipping. Does anybody else have a problem with the smell of JB Kwik ?.....not JB Weld.
Here are the cars we have put together. What do you think?

- Must admit I was rather surprised when I noticed that JYD had stock axles...makes me wonder what the big deal was about undrilled rivets. — FOTF
