Finished assembling my newest entry for SS-AM. This build went easier than the first, but unfortunately, it's not really any faster!

The green car is ROOKIE MISTAKES from the Nationals and the blue car is ROOKIE MISTAKES, TOO!

 
Thanks! It was an extra plank for a car body. I'm trying to keep my stuff organised so I made a holder for the wheels and one for the axles. The one for the axles has a hole to set the DD4H oil bottle in. I made that after I knocked over the bottle while I was prepping a car! Didn't lose much oil but it could have been much worse!
 
I finished prepping for the 3rd MOTM qualifier. I'm sending Rookie Mistakes II back, and a new car.

This is Lefty



If you haven't already guessed, this is one of the cars I was working on when I cut my fingers on the tablesaw. Hence the name! I also painted it red. But with paint this time! Rolling on V2's and 92x's.

I'm hoping that one of these two SS-AM's will keep me from "earning" the Powder Puff Derby pink avatar!

No worries Bracket, the pink avatar is mine. I did make one change to my car but i don't think it will make it any faster. I like the new car!
 
Viz said he's likely not sending a car. I think he wins it by default!

OK, just kidding! I wouldn't do that to a guy working 7 days a week. Just the guys in the bet that send in a car are eligible to win it!
 
Ok Ok Ok ..... I can't wait any longer ! Here is the ........
AM Class Tribute Car !
This is what you guys have to beat this time around ! Good luck to all !

 
Those new fenders allow you to extend the wheel base? Very nice.
clap
clap
 
Those are sweet cars fellas,

No need to worry about the avatar. It is clearly mine.

A friend has assured me that it would take close to a divine intervention for this car to be sub 3 this time around.

I just hope one of them doesn't crash into another car. Seriously.

Perhaps John can give it a practice run on it's own first, or at least an outside lane.

Hey Bracket,

Didn't I read somewhere that you were making a fender car?

Best of luck to all,
 
Great looking guys. Can't wait to watch the race in a race. There will be another AM racer from my neck of the woods bringing some heat for you. Watch out for KC racing, just saying.
 
We will welcome him QT ...... there is light weight heat here in the AM class. None of us have the heat to mess with you yet ! Tell him to take it easy on us !

As always, Good Luck to you this Weekend !

Great looking cars OTO!!! I don't think you or Bracket have anything to worry about. I already claimed the avatar.
blah
 
Thanks ! I'm not sure, I used that prep Bracket was telling Viz about ..... super glue and jig mix.
hmmm
We will see what happens !

YES, I bought a set of DD4H's fenders. I wasn't able to finish the body in time. Maybe at the next race!

I remember KC Racing! That was the guy that ran "Green Tip" at the Nationals. Good looking car! He had another entry at the first qualifier for the MOTM. He was top three there IIRC.
 
Oh no now I am feeling the pressure!! I did toss plum crazy after its performance two races ago. I am resurrecting Green Tip, that is the car that I raced at nationals and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the new car I am working on is completed, race worthy and faster then my other cars by this weekend. It's name is going to be Touch Gold. I will attempt to post a picture when I finish it. I will do my best to bring some heat or at least be lukewarm this weekend/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif

No pressure! I'm sure it will be fine! As long as Green Tip runs under your name this time.........wasn't that you?
