That's awsome, Congrats C10. I have loved watching this series. Thanks to all the host. I will get better but this was a great way to get my rookie stripes.


  • Thanks Mike...I have a feeling that you won't have those yellow stripes for long! — 72_Chevy_C10

I agree with Rally Case, love seeing a vintage Matchbox take it all.  Not easy to take a car that old (1977 release) and make it that fast -great job C10!


  • It's a really cool car. He did a great job with it! — KandORacing
  • Thanks guys...and thanks again, KandO! — 72_Chevy_C10

Wow--come-from-behind for 72 Chevy!  Awesome job getting two in a row and stealing the series!  I think that car's cool, too--especially since a Javelin was your first car.  Thanks also to K&O for putting on the finals and the series!

That darn SVT Lightning!  I wondered if it'd be faster on that track than the Laser Wheels (on my home Dragtracks, it beat it after the installation of the assorted tapes).

Whatever you guys think about a tie-breaker; nice work, TE!  You could go by team points (in which case I would win), or you could have a raceoff of some sort.  Either way's fine (and by the way--it was funny, because as I was looking at the standings yesterday, I not only got a call from K&O Racing, but I also was able to see Traction Event in the process of editing the points).


  • Thanks FOTF! I was surprised by that Javelin...your cars ran great (maybe too good by the SVT!) — 72_Chevy_C10

Congrats to C10 on the win. I think others would agree, he's been a good addition to an already great group of online racers/builders.


  • Thanks so much! I am always amazed at the cars you guys come up with! — 72_Chevy_C10

  • Ooops, I didn't notice it. Thanks for letting me know Chris! — KandORacing
  • This Result History thing is SO neat. If it makes any difference--the Hauler was a Ram (undrilled but modded) and the Datsun's a Nissan. — FOTF
