Run with the Big Dogs (Full, 3 alternates open)

I'm working on a Boneshaker for this event. This will be my first mail-in race, so I'm not expecting much but I love the cause. Brownie will be my driver. She's a 12 year old rescue beagle who had to have her left eye removed and her right eye is barely working. She won't need to see much while driving a Hot Wheels car anyhow. She's the honorary manager of Billy's Midway Arcade and the first mail-in driver for Billy's Midway Racing. I just hope she doesn't smell anything good to distract her while driving. ;-)

Brownie has been practicing on RUSH 2049 Special Edition and Off Road Thunder in the arcade. She's "ExcitaBeagle" about the races. :-)


I had to dig up my old computer from 1996 (DOS and Windows 3.1) to design and print the decals with my Alps MD-1000 printer. Some of the Alps MD printers can print white, metallic silver and gold foil. I used to make model train decals and have made some for my 1/10 radio controlled cars over the years. I couldn't resist the temptation to go all out for Brownie's Paw Shaker.

More progress. I modified another plastic insert to have a beagle head in place of the skull. My friend offered to 3D print some little beagles and beagle heads for Brownie's car. I painted these to be Brownie, missing her left eye. I just have to finish making her seatbelt harness and finish fine tuning. Unfortunately, we had to put down our 17 year old rescue cat earlier this week, so Brownie will be racing in memory of her long time friend, Windsor. My new track will be named in Windsor's memory too; Windsor Memorial Raceway.

Rest In Peace, Windy Windsor.

I added a few extra decals in tribute to Windsor, my Billy's Midway Racing logos and a seat belt harness for Brownie. Doing some time trials and adjustments now. Looking forward to the races.

Thanks to all for the support and kind words. I'm not expecting much since it's my first race but I wanted to make a good show for my rookie races.


  • She's adorable! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
  • Thank you! She's my second Beagle since 2000. My first one lived to 12 years before kidney failure. He was so sweet that I had to get another. She has been a wonderful companion too. — Billys_Midway_Racing

  • My old Alps went the way of the dodo decades ago. Miss that thing! It could do so many great things with those cartridge selection. Nothing like it in its price range any more. — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
  • I know what you mean, Fred. That’s why I work to keep my old PC operating since the newer computers and operating systems don’t work well the old Alps drivers and printer port connection. It’s just as well, since I still prefer the older versions of Corel Draw! anyhow. — Billys_Midway_Racing
  • R.I.P. WINDSOR! I'd be honored to get a chance to run on THE WINDSOR MEMORIAL RACEWAY someday. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
  • your tribute car is a work of art Mate! — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
  • Fabulous work! I love that car, very well done! She can win by a nose!! I’m so sorry for your loss! We have two cats, they loved Kodibear, & now they love Gunnar. — G_ForceRacing
  • Thanks again for the kind words and support. Preparing the car has been a lot of fun. I hope it runs as good as it looks. — Billys_Midway_Racing

Would like to get in on this race if possible. Driver will be Petey in honor of our pet for 13 years, who we miss. We named him after the dog on The Little Rascals and a "little rascal" he was. He was Pekingese Chihuahua aka: pikachu or Tasmanian devil! Let me know if a spot is still available.
