What a funny idea! In Germany we would have had Lotti Krekel!

I'm think right around Labor Day for the race. That would give everyone time to check over their car or maybe new guys (like Charlie's Anglers) to build one.  
 
Who's got parts / bodies / trim / drivers?
 
The Track - for review - the oval track when it was at Bill's previous Cocoa Fl. location.

Very, very cool ... looks like we have enough entries to call it a race! :victory:

Thanks guys... :good:

 

Does Labor day timeframe work for everyone?

If so I'll set a date with Bill P. to run on the track shown in the youtube above.  It WILL be close racing in the Sunshine State :sun_bespectacled:  

 

Rules are the same.  

 

I'll start a new thread with the procedures and guidelines.

 

The time to enter is still wide open.

Spoke to Bill Pinch today he picked a date and is very happy to accommodate us and co-promote this proxy event by getting the best oval racers in central Florida to come out and play.

 

Full details will follow in a new thread.

I got my car back but haven't opened the box yet.  I'm in for this proxy event too.  I'd even like to build another one!

 

Thanks Jens for handling the returns.
