Just to clarify, you don't have to host a race to enter.
So please let us know if you are in, want to host, or both.
THANKS!

Ok ok, I think i'll do it. I haven't done a mail-in race yet, but i've always wanted to. One question though, are we getting the cars back after the tournament? If so, i'll send in at least one modified... if not they will be all stock from me, haha.

I'm also in! But I hafta weigh my potential entries because I think they're pretty close to the limit.

Question...Would redline wheels from the 1993 Vintage series qualify as "early redlines"? I have a Vintage series 'Beatnik Bandit' that might be under the weight limit and I'd like to enter it.

THANKS G, 8 TEAMS SO FAR....THE '93'S ARE FINE... AND LOOK GREAT, , EARLY REDLINE'S DON'T LET THE AXLE ENDS SHOW,
1968-[1971 ISH ]... REMOVABLE TIRES, WHITE DELRIN HUBS, AXLE ENDS AND INSIDE OF WHEEL CENTER ARE RADIUSED
[BALL ON BALL, MINIMUM FRICTION] ALSO KEEPS THE WHEELS AWAY FROM THE BASE. CAN'T WAIT...

After some brief correspondence with EconoCarl and crazycollector, I'm happy to announce that a Featherweight Challenge race will be hosted in Pennsylvania! 'crazycollector' has offered the use of his 40ft long, 6-lane custom built track in Carlisle, PA and I have offered to be the shipper/receiver of the entries. However, 'crazycollector' has also expressed interest in hosting an 'open house' event at his warehouse(that will coincide with the race) where THANK YOU to 'crazycollector' for his generous offer!!
