Well gang the Daddio has spoken. February is double the points, double the fun. So that means no one is out and the race is on to the championship. February is shaping up to be a debut month for some new racers at the NPWDRL. Its always nice to see fresh tires hit the track. As always the veterans are here to help once you get a race under your belt.

Pro Rankings - There are currently 29 Pro Ranked racers at the NPWDRL. All you have to do is beat two to make it in.......do you have what it takes? On the 23rd we will see who has the right stuff!

Power Rankings - Looks like Quicktime is making a run to the top. Will the Boy Band Charmer keep it up until the end of the season or does Spirit Racing have what it takes to put a Back Street Beat down on the New Kid on The Block. Don't forget about SoGone who is So Good. Or could one of the Carolina Killers make a run to the top. Stonecold and Mackay have always brought the heat, could february be their month? Lets not forget about GS1, not often on the track but when he makes an appearance its usually lights out. Then there is Downslope....he is always in the mix....he is just looking for the right moment to put it all together. Spacewalker and Cash have the skills to make it to the top, when they are running on the track you need to look out! And brigging up the rear is Eastside Racing. He is a deadly new comer that has his cars locked and loaded. When he is on the start gate you better hold on because the ECM is in the house!

Well gang bring it if you got it....run it if you can! February is going to be what the NPWDRL is all about.......racing with the best!

If you want to introduce yourself to the best or talk a little smack. Just hit the reply button and let it roll!
 
Boy band charmer!?!? Your the one with the gautar, and Johns the karaoke king. And I'm Mr. Boy band that's it! It's on now I'll sing you a song on the live feed, oh wait I don't want to break you all's screens with the screeching that comes out of me when I sing. I put some work in the fleet this month I don't know if it's enough to keep the top spot but were going to try.
We going to see any Reso creation on the track this month?
 
Well I am keeping trash taling to a minimum this month I am just now prepping cars cause I have been running a marathon at the Beach. So you boys be easy on me I can't even walk back and forth to retreve the cars at the end of the track....lol.....Thank god for kids.
 
I will have a street stock on the track this month to try and earn my Pro Ranking. I'm an easy target for the new guys.

Wifey had a different plan to start remodling the bathroom so I guess i will send my cars running last months prep....oh well guess it is what it is.
 
I'm sending in an old technology Eliminator car. This one has .091 axles so it shouldn't be as fast as you .084 builders. Plus who knows if I have enough steer? May wiggle all the way home?

You go Jagger!
 
Well I just finished building my new Street Stock tonight. Not sure if it will make it the entire season, but it will at least get me some points.

I'm glad to see you back on the track Acme! Now if we could get W Racing to send in a car that would be something!
 
Very Cool KHouse! I still do not know how you go the 91s into those wheels. (Lots of polishing. I had to make a call into DD for some 87s when about the time we were makng those cars.)

Reso - I am kicking the idea around. The new bandsaw sure makes things easier...
 
W,
I put coarse silica sand and 30 weight oil together and spun it into the bores with the axles. Then blew them clean. No polishing at all. I then added my personal blend of Brylcreem and Honey grease. It smells good for sure.
 
Just dropped my car at the post office. After watching the January race last night, it looks like I have my work cut out for me Saturday. Good luck to all the racers this weekend.
 
I just dropped mine in the mail this morning also. Looking forward to see what it can do. Saturday will not come fast enough. The joy of victory or the agony of defeat... time will tell. It should be exciting either way.
 
The USPS guys are the ones that usually drop the cars !!!!! Hope you didn't re-adjust your percision steer !!!! However I have had a slow car or two get faster at the race. Maybe a drop is good sometimes. Just kidding RESO my friend !!!!!!.......SPIRIT .........

I'm not too worried, my legend shipping box is like a tank! Hopefully I still have a little Spirit Mojo left over from last years team race! Looking forward to seeing you on track big guy.
