Any ideas yet? I just dropped mine in the mail this morning via USPS Express, so they should be there in plenty of time.

Well... Then theres gonna be 4-5 racers cars not be there in time... I'm lucky to even had time to send them in.. If they don't make it... Just open the box and put the return label back on ... And I just won't race any this month ... No biggie.. I was rushed for time anyway.. Cars will be crap..Things is if I miss the first MOTM race .. There's no since in running the other 2.. That will give me time to re group for 2015 .
Guess there need to register then... Hey John when you recieive my box Sat just leave everything boxed up and put the return label on it and send it back. I will try to Notifiy the USPS TO STOP THE PACKAGE AND RETURN TO SENDER.. Since check end Is( 1:00 PM) and racing at (2:30) I will let the other racers know also..sorry I sent them late.. Had no choice ..

And there you have it race fans.
The mighty juggernaut brought to his knees by time constraints.
With the speed and elegance with which he can put these cars together it must be quite a disappointment for him.
I know that the juggernaut was hoping to put the winnings from the AC designs challenge towards the Wounded Warrior fund but it looks like AC designs just may get to donate that money to his own favorite charity The March of Dimes.
Quite a turn of events for AC Designs.
I bet he is wishing he took JBD up on the pinks race right about now.
Perhaps we can get a word from AC on this most unlikely of outcomes?

I'm sure all will be done to get them to the race. It will probably work out just fine. 3 is the get there by time, they could arrive a lot earlier.
I don't think if you miss the first race that your are automatically out....it certainly makes it harder but if you do really well the next two, that still might be enough pts to make the top 15 and get you the championship birth....
if I remember last years one, a lot of classes, the guys who made it to the finals did not run all 3 races.....there were quite a few that only ran 2 and still got in to the finals based on points....because not all classes had 15 racers who ran all 3....

Well, as events would have it, I'm in the same boat as JBD. I was out of town, cars didn't make the mail on Tuesday, as planned. Too busy rushing around yesterday trying to get things lined out for work. Dropped them in the mail this morning... time will tell. Fingers crossed for the USPS. If not, just ship'em back unraced. /images/boards/smilies/frown.gif
OK, I expect to take some flak for this, but here goes ...
Most months, maybe 4 out of any 5, I only have time to really build one new car and to modestly reprep several others. I am very busy and I build slow ! If I say I built a new car for a certain race, it's likely I started with 2 or 3 and wasn't happy with the others. Most bearing car "repreps" are just blowing air on the bearings and running the outer edge through the nail buffer. My Street Rods most often only get a wheel tread cleaning. This is all I can do before getting together with 'the boys' in Andy's basment for a typical couple hours of tuning prior to sending cars in. The (root and regular) beer and camaraderie (and fair ship of kidding/ribbing) is the best part. I really couldn't compete without benefit of these tuning sessions and am very impressed how some people do without access to a track.
I will say that I have no clue how some people build and prep new cars for many different classes, or a bunch of a certain class, all at once. When ever I try to make a bunch of new cars I usually fall flat on my face with 3/4 of the parts prepped and no cars. (Unfortunately I re-learn this lesson at least once or twice a year !) The alternative is to seek perfection and never race. John puts up the schedule as soon as he can and we all live with it. Sometimes it is in our favor, sometimes not. The world doesn't end either way.
All that said, that's life ! I am here to race and have fun in a hobby and with people I enjoy. The time we put into our various endeavors are all choices. I accept my lot. I very rarely post in these "what are you going to send ..." threads because I never know what I can send until virtually the last minute. No one is in a committment here except for John. The excitement builds after you send cars in and then we just wait for the race.
So play with the toy cars however you can between races, send in what you can, kick back and enjoy.

You guys should be fine. I shipped my cars Priority Mail departed USPS Grand Rapids, MI 8-27-14 at 1:06 AM delivered Saratoga Springs 8-28-14 at 12:51 PM. USPS is on the ball this week.
+ 1 Quad Dad... I just been really busy with life , kids starting school and work.. Not counting home duties lol.. I could of sent In my cars from Nationals but I wanted to try a few new things I learned and see if there's any speed.. So I decided to build 5 new cars and then life got busy and everything came to a. Stop .. I usually never send in last minute but this month I had to... If they make it so be it, if not it no ones fault beside mine... For waiting to the last Minute. There gonna be turds anyway.. They was put on the tuning board , steer set and put in the box..

Yeah JBD,
Don't play coy
You know that you are sending in the most blazing cars you ever put on a track.
I am not falling for this fake press release (most likely cooked up by your agent/ manager)
Very clever build-up, but it won't work on me.

I assure u .. I know nothing about these cars... I put them together... Set wheel gaps.. Set steer that was desired .. Made a few adjustment and boxed them up.. They wasn't very fast on the tuning board .. And compared to other cars on the board they are slow..
