Rookies for Season 5

I just added the rookies for Season 5 to The Lot so you can scout them prior to this Sunday's opening.

I tried to have a mix of old and new cars. There's a few 1980s cars in there that are all metal and should be good racers if their wheels are stable. The 80s cars are not out of the box but are not very worn at all, safe for racing. A couple FTEs in there with the almighty 300C FTE that I'm sure will get retired early in the season.

If you ask me, Carbide and Howlin Heat are on the fence. They don't look like much but I think they have a good balance.

Big thanks to this season's donors!! Please visit their web sites when you see the links.

Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox

When we get to the lot, can you have racers categorized as cookies so we can easily see them? I am on mobile and I followed the above link.

Rookies, not cookies. My phone auto-corrected on me...

Good idea for the mobile. I'll work on getting a "Recent additions" grouping added.

my money is on that 550.

Are we picking a rookie again this season?

Some nice older models in the lot!

No, no rookie picks this time around. That didn't quite pan out like I thought it would. It might come back if I can find a way to make it more interesting. Some things work, some things don't.
