Summer Nationals 2016...Muscle Cars and Hot Rods...

72_Chevy_C10 Tuesday, 6/28/2016

Hey Guys,

If the Bare Muscle cars get here before the weekend, I will have both the Bare Muscle cars and the Firecracker 40 cars here at the same time. So, the schedule will look like this...

Saturday - The Firecracker 40 Race 1

Sunday - The Bare Muscle 3 Finals

Monday - The Summer Nationals

I will run the light Bare Muscle, the heavy Bare Muscle and the Fiecracker Hot Rods all together in a random draw, single elemination race. There should be 28 cars, so I'll round out the field with some fillers to be a 32 car field.

This will be a For-Fun, Bragging Rights race pitting the Muscle Cars against the Hot Rods!

Sound good?

I needed 4 cars to fill up the 32 car field for Monday's race...so I picked these guys. They are all 57 gram cars...not super fast, but not slow pokes either!

A note about the Javelin...that one was the car that I won my first tournament with! For all you RLD historians!

Since RLD started off as a fantasy racing site, let's see how good everyone is at guessing the winner of Monday's race...just for fun!

Both the Firecracker cars and all the Bare Muscle cars are in the event...list in the comments what car you like to take home the bragging rights!

This is the first time I've used this random number generator...random.org.

It's pretty cool to see them all lined up...I try to do the match-up shots in a cool way

The track is is wiped down and has been checked. I took one section of track out of it, so it won't be the same as the last voiple days...280" track.

I'll be starting a little earlier today, just because there is more to get through and the uploads might take a little longer.

Stay tuned!

Toward the end of the 2nd video, in the race between Delta 6 and my old Javelin filler car, you will only see one race...because the Javelin's rear axle came loose (I'm thinking too much torque from the mighty 401)...so , Delta 6 moved on!
