Pics of old race cars...

When you've been racing for a little while, you end up with some race cars laying around...

This isn't all of my former racers...a bunch have gone away and all of them aren't in this jammer case. But, I'm sure you'll recognize a few of these. 

Post pics of your former racers, if you've got them laying around...there are new racers here that haven't been around long enough to see them.


Discussion

As C-10 said not all of them... Some better than others, some that did not make the cut.

Seeing all of those (some I recognize), my question is how many times do you guys enter these cars more than once?

I know a lot of tournaments are themed and some don't qualify but overall, do your mods get a second run or is it one-and-done? Kind of a shame if they only see the road once...


  • It's pretty much 'one and done' for me — 72_Chevy_C10
  • me too... i give most away after we race... — fordman
  • one race pre car for me, never rest on past performance... "build" a reputation.... — Traction-Event
  • I keep the ones I like, since they are one of a kind customs...others find new racers. Want some cars? :) — Traction-Event

Wow!!! TE and C10,

I need to see some close ups of each of your Chevy II's.  Altered wheel base and a Gasser?  Way cool.

hmmmm.... how about small flat "car holders", 3" x 1.25" plates welded to scisor clamps, [today's paper-clip], clip them to the thicker branches on your family's xmas tree...

use you retired racers as orniments... maybe i can fab one up tomorrow...


  • next year, I am buying a 1 foot green Styrofoam tree, and cover it with loose wheels — CrzyTrkrDude
  • dash orniment for my truck! lol — CrzyTrkrDude

Hey ISWINGPING,

This one was in the original Wagon Wars race...50 gram cars, 5-spokes. Traction Event dominated the race, but I think I got him once with my Chevelle. This car did okay...I think it ended up around 4th or so
