2019 HRW Hole Shot Nationals!

SO two things I'm not quite sure how I'm to do..

1: mounting the body to the chassis
2: Drop arm, even if I'm not in the wheelie class, should i use one? How would one recommend doing that?

Guess I'm looking to see if there are any tutorials or examples of these. I'm claiming newbie status for drag cars, so be gentile. :)

I'm sure for the GTO I want to buy a ready made chassis for ease of build, but if I do a Lil' Red Wagon I think I'm going to build that chassis from scratch.

Hey I haven't tried to post from a phone, one modeling site I used to frequent was a bear.
I can probably get a pic of the frame and get it put up,
Todd gave a good scoop...and the other guys who build know more than I do.
Mine is simple, even simpler next time...

I'm in but not sure for what class yet.
I have a question about the tires, when I used to drag race slot cars we always used foam pro-track tires, who sells urethanes that will work well for drag racing or will any urethane tire work?
Thanks!

That is a great looking chassis and that dark blue metallic looks right at home on there! :D

Thank you for the posting help Boss,
Thanks Todd, hoping to do the car justice, there ought to be plenty of goodies to see in this proxy as well.
Mike it might give you an idea, when I think I got it, I give it a couple hours, sometimes something more clever evolves. I went back and looked over nhdungeonracers Winged Express, the incentive for hanging the arm. Can't wait to see the GTO :D

I'm considering this 57 Corvette roadster.



However, since the motor layout is specified as inline-only and this is an open cockpit car, the motor will be visible.

I'd use as much of the kit's interior and match paint the motor, but it'll still be noticeable.

Will this be acceptable?

A ruling please.

That'd be a cool car to see go the track Dan. :D
I understand what you're talking about with the motor being exposed on account you have to cut out an area of the interior to fit around the motor. In cases like this, I've always built a "doghouse" which covered the motor. Would that be doable?

[FC47]

Pick it up a little and make it a gasser...
Definitely it'd be cool!

[historiceng]

I would like to be in this one too please.

Probably with a 1/32 "budget" back yard style old slingshot type of car if that is ok.

I wonder if my car could lodge with someone between July and November to save the transatlantic trip in between, I would cover all postage, thank you.

Harry... nice story about Ronnie, that makes it special.

Best wishes, thank you for putting this together :text-thankyouyellow:
