The Lotus Elise....they are 2.5" in length....acceptable to the host?



This Lancia Stratos will be getting an FTE package and about 10g of weight.

I'm still planning on sending in some cars for this one, although they might just be stock at this point. I have a couple weeks before deadline but toss in Easter and stuff and times getting thin. 


The Lancia Stratos is torn down...wheels and chassis wheel wells have been sanded and windshield painted, next step polish the axels and wheel wells, then set the axels and add the weight...then speed testing and tweaking.

I talked a friend at work and I think he'll be sending in a car too. He's intrigued and going to find a stock to send in and try this whole thing out. Just a heads up. Or maybe I'll send his cars with mine...have to see if we can coordinate.

Found some time today to make a mod for this race. Basically just some chassis swapping but I'm trying out some axle techniques on a basic axle rather than messing around with FTEs...see how it goes. Had to drop the interior and windows just to make weight. Other car will be a lubed up stock.

And the paint job is the shits but it's something :)

  • RINGER!!! — LeagueofSpeed
  • RLD cool man. These initially weighed in the low 30's so metal base must be good then. — Mopar_Mafia

C'mon RLD community...let's have a good turn out for Mopar Mafia's inaugural race on Gulf City Dragway!!!    


Next is the Graphite Bay...Speed Testing and hopefully...a Contender!!!


This VW Golf is next...the front axel was bent, so it's getting the CS package off this CS Audacious.
