Thanks.

I'll be routing for the Studebaker, Keith. Anyone who can scratch build a chassis and a body is in my slot car "hero" category. I still remember that block of wood from last year's race! :handgestures-thumbup:

Allan

I have a 1936 Alfa Romeo body I been wanting to build, Can I enter

Hi Austin, Did it run in the La Carrera Panamericana race? If it did, then it doesn't matter when it was built. The year limits on this fun run are only for the year in which the car rant he race. Cars that were built earlier, but that raced in one of the 5 La Carrera Panamericana races (1950-1954), are fine; regardless of when they were built.

Allan

I see in the pics from this years, that someone else had the 23. If they wish to keep that number I will happily choose another as the newcomer.
Bob

I'm in Porsche 356 #6
Marty

Figure me in for two!
#71 and #89
Will be another two Detroit iron entries - but what exactly they will be remains open at this time.

Anybody know of a source for a '47 Olds Dynamic Cruiser body?
(a guy can hope right?)

Hi Alan;

Please put me down for Hudson Hornet #109

Todd, maybe someone made a static model of that car, then you could repop it in resin. I'll have a look (although I'm sure you've already had a look...........)

Welcome mnfordguy! Your in with a Hudson Hornet! :handgestures-thumbup:

Allan

I have been following the first race and it really looked like fun. For our second plunge into the proxy racing pool, Tiny Alice Racing is in.....

glasshorsevh (1) car
#14
1954 Ford Tudor

Val .....

Put me down for #13 please, not sure what the car will be yet...!!!

Thanks...

Ron...

Hey Ron:

Did you know that a Cord 812 ran in the 1950 PanAm? It finished too late and was DQ'd. Not sure what body style it was though, probably a rag top.

Cheers,

Keith

Welcome Val and Ron! You're both registered.
