- Send a car ... I will run this each time I get about 8 cars to send around. — MarcusFiregone
- Please, dear god, do the Super Van Ambulance. You couldn't possibly be more "Dr. Dodge" than that, pun ALL THE WAY intended. — Scoupe
- how about moon trash II? The first winner. thats the plan — dr_dodge
- I'd like to a van go but just want to caution you that it may flip over on some of these tracks. — MarcusFiregone
Know what? I think I'll apply for the invite. Just gotta see what hits that sweet spot between cool/realistic/different/well-performing. Be in touch, Marcus.
Hm I can give this a shot,I have a couple cars in mind.Ill keep in touch Marcus
For this cannon ball run i am debating if I should compete with my 41 gram Volkswagen Golf mrk 2 or my 91.8 gram '77 dodge van.You can expect to see one of these 2 compete come time for the cannon ball run
- I'd go with the VW ... Vans may tip over on these tracks. — MarcusFiregone
- Yeah I’ve decided to VW golf will be my car of choice,the little car that could — Kingjester
I'm interested in participating Almost finished modding this dodge van

so, in the quest to determine the colors of Moontrash II,
I reached out to Travis Bell, who in 2006, (according to car articles)
built a reproduction of the ambli-van, with a 509 mopar big block...wow, right, that sounds SO FUN!!!
sent an email, bla,bla
I just talked to him. nice guy, knows of our community, (follows 3d,and, etc)
He is gonna find pics and reach out to find the answer.
The first vehicle to break cannonballs record was Moontrash II
All photos are b/w no one seems to know right now.
to top it all,
Travis became great friends with Brock and "the others"
(y'all know it's still run? 1 v 1 start at red ball, end at the hotel. logs w/ vids and gps)
would be so cool to answer a dumb question of a world record holder...lol
I will keep y'all updated

So if the van may tip over can I send a different casting then. It won't hurt nobody :-D
