I was looking at the race schedules and classes. I see there is a race on April 26th. Any qualifications or can all enter? Also as a 1st time racer should I enter street stock novice or amateur (or both)?

The green car in my avatar is for the mid-America but I am working on another.

Thanks all,

Dr.T
 
Anyone can enter at any time. Start in novice, then A.m. and work your way up.

Would this be NOSKILLS from Derby Talk? Welcome to the forum Seth! You'll like it here. Let me know if you need anything. Took you a while to check us out. Seth is a good guy.
 
Hey!

I remember Noskills from DT.

Talk about a misnomer.

How are you Seth?

Not sure if you remember me.

What took you so long to find your way over here?

Good to see ya!
 
Busted I see. The first derby car I made with my son as a Tiger fell off the track twice and broke. It was then I choose the screen name of Noskills. I had a coping saw a few files. Now three years later I have a few power tools, a bunch of John's goodies and my son is the two time pack champ. I have gotten the PDW bug now an want to make a few cars of my own.
Not sure why I choose the screen name which is basically my work login (first initial and last name). I should have chosen Dr.T which is what my patients used to call me. I work in research now as an MD but I still like the name Dr.T so I might sign off with that. I might drop the name Noskills now and then too.
Happy to join the forum, see a bunch of familiar names and get some fresh ideas (like the fresh lemony Pledge I just bought)

Welcome to the NPWDRL Seth, Dr. T!

If you want your forum name changed you can send a request to the forum administrator, DD4H, and he can get that taken care of for you.

Hey Seth, Welcome to the board! Sorry I haven't been over there in awhile. There is a bunch of good guys here!! And will answer about any question you have! I look forward to seeing you race at Mid - America I live 2.5 miles away from it and on the commitee.

I just sent in my first car for the race today! Look for a black car called Black Ice with a Skull on it. (or the one that derails the most) lol

What class are you running at Mid America?
 
Hey Ice,
I will look for your car on the feed for mid America. I painted mine bright green so I can spot it. WIll be racing in Open adults.

PapaV-dont worry about pulling my leg, as a pediatrician and cubmaster I am used to being around loud immature people! Just kidding.

Thanks for the welcome to the forum.

The best CubMasters are the biggest kids in the room ... That is why they picked me so I have been told.. they wanted the adult kid to lead the kid Scouts...

Nice to see you over here Seth. As I mentioned this is where I picked up a few new tricks that helped us get the speed up this year.

Still haven't figured out oil... but there lots of graphite tips here too.

I'm going to enter one of my back-up cars in the April race here... but not ready to swim with the sharks yet.
 
Hey Topspin,

I am going by the much cooler name of Dr.T on this board. I figured it was better than Noskills as I now have a few (but not enough) skills. I just bought some more goodies and hope to have a car for the April race. My wife had been pretty anti-PWD as of late and I get dirty looks by just walking towards the garage.

I am fine swimming with the Sharks....for me its all about the making (any winning would of course be gravy!)

ODD,

Whenever she complains about my hobby I tell that I am thinking of starting the new hobby of collecting and smoking cigars. Very expensive and smelly. She didn't buy it
lol
