The Southern Utah crew go these sent off on Saturday. Hopefully they will arrive on time. Post Office said expected delivery was Monday, but I'm thinking it will be at least Tuesday. Tracking # 9505 5161 7617 7322 0362 51

Was hoping to get them out on Friday but pink paint takes forever to dry when it's like an 1/8 of an inch thick. Haha :)

Hail, hail, the gangs all here!

Three boxes in the mail today, plus the Roger Doger I bought on ebay!

It looks to be a full 16-truck field (I throw one 'bracket filler' truck in to round out the field) I'll see if I can do a weigh in video tonight. Team pics and brackets tomorrow...and maybe, the first round of the first race :)

These races will probably nighttime events...I'm doing a full-sized enine swap this week. I'm pulling the reasonable new crate out of my namesake '72 C10 and it is going in the '73 C20 Cheyenne that I picked up this past Spring. The 'patina' on my '72 has finally gotten a little too far gone...and the rear decided to let go as well. So, the '73 is actually a much more solid truck.

Be looking for a weigh-in video later tonight.

I apologize for the grease under my fingernails! The max weigh...57g plus 3 for variations...is 60 grams. CCRider's two Ford trucks are over the 3" maximum length, but I'm still going to run them...I'm not going to be the guy that kicks out the little girl's pink truck because it's an eight inch over.

I'll do some cool team shots tomorrow morning (provided I've got good light). And I'll post the bracket for the first race by tomorrow night...and probably run Rd 1!

I'm going to lower the start height on my track and shorten it a little for the first race. If I have time, I might lay orange track over the Drag track and run good ole orange track race next. And the Final will be my normal height, quarter mile track.

And, regarding the smack talk...I'll run any grudge match that you guys want...just post them here!

The trucks look Great! Good luck, Everybody!

Oh crap, I totally didn't even think about the length thing. Sorry guys. Both mine and my daughters were rushed jobs. I was actually working on a '56 Chevy and she had a '78 dodge also. However coming down to the wire we both had issues. I was using axle tubes and after I got it all together I was doing some final alignment adjustments and one of my axels came out of the axel tube. I knew I didn't have time to get it fixed with a new tube. My daughters truck had a sticky wheel so I sent her over to her box of cars to find a truck and when she came over with that one it reminded me I also had one like that already pulled apart in my "junk yard" so I found it, sprayed it green and quickly threw some FTEs on it. It didn't even cross my mind to measure them.

Don't worry about racing them in the bracket. You can race hers against mine in a grudge match and both Color Country racing and G-force racing are calling out League of Speed for grudge matches. They have some prior history! ;)

G-force says he's coming for you LOS!
