Cops-n-Robbers 3...Official thread - Starts This Weekend!
Great looking field of builds. After the race, can you post the individual weight of the cars? It'll be interesting to see what strategies each builder/ racer chose and how they perform on each track.
Sorry, I don't think my cars will get there until Monday. It's my fault so I understand. But, if it's possible to send them out with the rest that'd be cool. I put a bunch of prize doners in the box too.
Hey Delta,
Since I know your cars are on route, if they don't get here by tomorrow, I'll have these guys ready to go as loaner cars...

Stroller,
Your Cop car's rear axle was almost completely locked up. I tried spinning it to free it up, but no go...so I pulled it apart. Whatever adhesive you used, did not set up and the inside was a sticky mess...the adhesive had gotten on your axle.
I have a new axle in the car right now and I'm just waiting for the JB Quick to set up before I put the body back on.
It will be in the race :)
- Ihave noticed that, that tube of JB weld would take forever to setup if ever. — Stroller
- Anyone know of a good viable substitute for JB? — Stroller
- BTW Thanks a lot, C10.. — Stroller
- No problem. Stroller — 72_Chevy_C10
Okay, I ran each car down the track (from about halfway up the hill)...all the cars are rolling well.
My early take on the weight...it's kinda funny, most robbers are light and most cops are heavy! So, it is almost two separate races...but it's going to be interesting.
I'll have the bracket up early tomorrow and the race will run tomorrow. I'll have the videos up as I run them. The idea is to get the main race done on Saturday and the top 8, bragging rights race will run on Sunday.
Good luck to everyone!

Well, I was going to post match-up shots right now, but apparently, the Krispy Kreme wagon showed up...

And since the Cops weren't around, the Robbers all took off...but they only made it as far as the Plasticville Diner...

So, I guess the match-up shots will have to wait until everyone is 'fueled up' :)

Delta 6 is in the house! I'll ad his pic above. All this talk of diners has me hungry...I'm headed down to my local diner and I'll start the races when I get back!
Stay tuned!
I'll be starting a thread with the videos in it, just to keep this one from getting too huge. I'll post a link here when I start it. For now, it's time to go racing!
- the longer the thread, the more data I use. lol sooooo many photos, but they are all good photos!! lol :) — CrzyTrkrDude

The teams look Great! Hopefully, Delta 6's cars will get here tomorrow or Saturday and the field will be set!
