Man its been a long weekend here. Been working on the kitchen. Hing cabinets today. My buddy is tiling tomorrow its almost done! He worked me so hard today i just woke up from a nap in the lazy boy lol.

Back to the regular program. I plan on emailing my mn guys tomorrow. If we race this week (do to easter i havent heard if we are for sure.). Hoping we can run them then. Steve had already tested out a live feed and is ready for that.

Ill post picks of the other mn cars then as they still have them. All cars that are making the race have been accounted for. Stay tuned.....

Ok folks i have 4 of the 6 bugs at my house the other two are local mn racers i race with on thursdays. Due to the fact its the week of easter we are not racing this week. So here i sit wanting to play with these wonderful repaints!!

This is 100% unofficial. Means nothing but i wanted to run them so i set up my carrera timer and ran the on my oval i built tonight. Its temporary until i build my new track. Its on a 4x8 table.

The unofficial results for the pre fun run run :)
I ran a timed 2 minute race
Tusco todd 48 laps 2:54 fast lap this guy can build a smooth car!
Gameover 44 laps 2:76 fast lap lucky i guess. It even stayed on the wheels go figure :)
Binbbster 43 laps 2:86 fast lap so far ad i know the only digital car in the run. So it has lights :)
Shotgun 40 laps 3:05 fast lap its a plane with out wings and looks sharp! Very creative my friend!

VW goodness - gotta love that!

Thank you for the "fun run" teaser!
Thanks for the kind words on the Seagram's car! It is nice to see the tinkering time I spent on it paid off for the pre-fun run! Hopefully it does as well in actual race format. :D
Don't envy the judges on the concours competition - there are some GREAT looking cars coming together in that field!
