@ HWL88...the only car that qualifies for this race that you sent into Bootleg Run is the Twinduction.
You said^^^the cars you sent in for Bootleg Run^^^...and the only car out of yours and Speedsta's that qualify for this race is the Twinduction out of those four(4). So, moving forward just ask me about a car and I'll let you know if it qualifies, but there are a lot of Hot Wheels Originals out there....Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, Nova's, Superbirds etc., do not qualify for this race, that would also include a Boss Hoss, Nitty Gritty Kitty...those are basically Mustangs and Cougars....any questions ask here or PM me.
Here is a good example for the range allowed for this race...Speed Force has already picked her team out to be Modified...and I wouldn't race that team in a million years, but hopefully it will be what makes this race fun and unique.
So any fantasy model?
If you have a good tunout, you could have a separate division for the '68-'70, nylon bushing cars
I've got my eye on this one....needless to say, it's nylon bushing day's are over....but if there sound, I'll send them your way.
Got my eye on this HW Original as well....fun to make them track worthy again.
