As promised

Hola mi amigos! March Madness is in the books and the Godfather has lined up another spectacular race for our Spring Finale. He is throwing down triple points to all the participants. What does that mean? It means there are going to be some nervous racers when the hammer drops. If you are on top it’s going to be a challenge to hold the line.

NPWDRL Power Check Review, Shall We!

Street Stock Amateur – Skippy Kicky has tapped his heels together three times in March and said “There’s no place like first, there’s no place like first”. Skippy is fast but there are three others nipping at his heels. First in line is an outlaw with serious speed, some say his bore prep is as reliable as the Pony Express. Then there is a racer who is on the verge of performing a Radioactive meltdown on the competition. Last but not least is JBD, or should we call him the Henry Ford of the NPWDRL. He has cars coming off his assembly line so fast we are beginning to wonder if he has a sweatshop turning out cars in his garage. Only one will finish first……..Prep well my friends, prep well!

Street Stock Pro – JB has upped his game once again! I think we should call him Mr. Roboto, because he can’t be human with the consistency he brings to the track. The Screaming Eagle tried to put JB in a Novocain state but he was held off by the deadly Widow Fleet. Two veterans were also in the mix, Cam Car is looking to make an Assault like an Avenger while Ca$h is hoping to fly by them all. That leaves the King of the Stage! Wheels have been melting from coast to coast trying to find the new magic sauce. We all know it can be found at Walgreens right? Can Quicktimes new process leave a Sonic Boom shock wave through the field and set him atop the mountain for a run of Daddio Sized proportions? Tune in…..9 days and counting.

Street Pro – He is already fast, could he become faster? Quicktime has put the work in and tuned his car to lead like a Captain. But can JP put a Red Hot pass on the new Boss? Never count Cam Car out because he can run Flat Out.

Eliminator – Let me just say this 3/10,000 of second….insane. That is what separated first from forth during the March madness race. Quicktime, Spirit, GS1 and ZZ are all Tribology masters looking to make the April Eliminator race an edge of your seat event. One wrong move and you will move to the end of the line.

Unlimited – One racer has proven that he will go down in the bearing hall of fame! None other than the Sofa King, Mr. Goatboy. His creations have mesmerized all who try and beat him. But one racer with MOTM status has taking the challenge and there will be No Denial if he beats the king!

Street Rod – Stone Cold was Black Flagged for a violation allowing Quicktime the victory in March. Make no mistake the Stone Cold killer has the formula for success. But the Quicktime process may play a pivotal part in securing a Street Rod victory in April.

April Topics of Interest

The Butterhole challenge – The name says it all!

Pinks All Out – This deserves a standalone topic, I have a few thoughts.

“The Process” – Quicktime has explored the formula for Tribology success. He has become everyone’s best friend overnight! His pm box has seen more action than a DD4H car at a proxy race. We are all intrigued, even ole Reso has started researching again. If it holds that means there is yet again another level of speed to be had.

New Blood – Lots of new racers emerging on the forum. You guys are awesome and have brought a little swagger with you. Keep it up….you will soon be at the top of your game!

Race'em if you got em!

As usual, a little trash talk don't hurt.....discuss!
 
Great post Reso. QT Pie you only like it because you have been mentioned more than once. Seceret sauce yeah right. Better wipe that greasy dell taco off your hands cause Chips will be there with some new cars which made the others look like pee-wee league. Stay tuned just a week to go and we shall chase each other. As long as we spank ol Kinser since he is seeking another " jump " on the leader board......
 
Ol Kinser might have something up his sleeve too. You always gotta try something new. /images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif

P.S. Nice post Reso! /images/boards/smilies/smile.gif
 
Ah .. Wonder why he is not noted as Reso Suave of the NPWDRL .. He is a master of the board as he mesmerizes us all with another pre-race run down...

Reso --- This is one for the books as we have been waiting for your Pep Talk prior to the big day ...

Preps and processes. Its all we hear. how about designs, materials , used, paint stickers, there is only one prep and I have now unlocked it. QT knows about it because we shared ideas and they work well together. You probably already have one item in yoe ur home now. The other is the big unknown. Best of luck to all racers. Especially you newbies and old returning. Mayb e Butterboy from down under will set his vegimite sandwich down and show up to race.

Papa, cool post. By, the way, I'm sorry I forgot Blue by U's name the other day. I hope she will forgive me.

Reso, Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
 
Great editorial Reso! Howard Cosell would have been proud.

I have no new processes, but what I am hoping to bring to the race is some new speed, at least over my last month's times, from setup and alignment tweaks. Fingers crossed and ready to fly down the track. WooHoo!

GravityX that is what it is all about. Setting personal goals and trying to improve each time!
 
With 8 or 9 of us moving up from the Amateur SS division to the Pro division, it really leaves the Amateur division wide open. Hope to see a lot of new cars in the Amateur division since the rule change (2.98 badge) was put in place after the March race.
