Calling all Zombies! Calling all Zombies!

The most shocking news is out! Get Ready to be Zombitized!

Team Zombie is sponsoring new Zombie cars for the races at Buena Park.

We have the War"zombie"mack chassis being treated with nuclear rays from the uncontrollable radium block left by Dr.Harbo. In an experiment run wild!!!!

Dr Harbo had let the necro-mortasis slot-zombie virus out of the controlled lab at the pristine "Harbo's Raceway and Nuclear Radiation Laboratory, in Stockton, CA" .

The agents release immediately changed Mr Earl Schieb Bigelow, John Too Tall Wilbur, and Sal Mr Fast Rigia into the walking dead "similar to our political leaders" wherupon they began to metamorph into Zombie racing fiends!

They are posting the creation of a new Zombie Day of Rack and Ruin on the track!

Make note now! A date will be chozen for the Zombies to gather at Buena Park in August for the first-ever Zombie Classic Race for the title of "Can-Am King of California" or Mayhem and Such..

Warm up your cyclotrons!

Hey, Mr. Dynamic dude, this sounds great. Not quite sure what will be happening but I'm getting my cyclotron ready anyway. Definitely looking forward to Zombie day at Buena Park. It'll be to "die" for. :shok: :blink: Kool.

Not a snob in this hobby, after all it will be gone, if we keep on going like we do, and I have nothing to prove so I keep on posting because I have nothing to gain.
It's our duty to remember the past so we can have a future.

Reading this thread, I feel like I`m watching a '50s movie on "Movies Till Dawn" with Elvira as the host.

Can't wait to see the outcome to this. :unsure:

When the ray gun zaps his leg, he does a mean Surfer Stomp. They need some Beach Boys music in the background. :D

Zombies and mutants,

Damn, you guys are having way too much fun. I love it, great pictures and funny wording.

This is what slot car racing should be about: FUN!

I am going to have see about getting some thingie races and zombie races
out here in Colorado. Do I have to live in the village of the damned to do this?

Thanks,

CAPTAIN ZOMBIE :hang3:

It's been a few sun cycles :sun_bespectacled: with a few full moons thrown in... What's the rules, and how many races? A little ZOMBIE :hang3: told me that there was only going to be room for twelve racers from each side of California allowed to race. :unknw: I FEEL that anyone that shows up for the gig :yahoo: should and will be allowed to race :dash2: no matter what the numbers are (racers) Be it 50 from SoCal. :heat: or 10 from NorCal. :don-t_mention: EVERYONE will race :victory: no matter how long it takes :help: my input is this... Two races on the MTT (flat track), one with TSR motors and the other with stock "Big Dogs" (no Cobalts, 12s, etc.), Both races will be with legal D3 inlines as per SoCal/NorCal rules. Tech dudes will be from each side of the state.

As always ZOMBIE VITTER :hang3:

There go those NorCal guys - taking over Buena Park now!! :D I can't imagine there'd be a limit to the # of racers - usually ALL are welcome! There could be a mean BBQ in the southland, too??

Sorry, Tim, but I've been to a few races at BPR, and no offence to Chris and his wife, but WE up here in NorCal know how to P.A.R.T.Y. when we have our monthly D3 events.

(Party at the Race Track, y'all)

Now we don't have any Barbeques Galore chain stores up here to get newest gas-fired stainless steel contraption for cooking, but give us a 55 gallon drum, a bag of Kingsford, and some naphtha (Harley's favorite BBQ lighter fluid), and we'll find a way to cook some meat and a big 'ol pan of BBQ beans and serve them up with some rolls and "slaw" or potato salad, and it's on, BABY!!! Beverage of choice is always optional, and a few guys will share some pops with each other to rinse it all down. No one ever leaves hungry and there's almost always some to take home to the Mrs. for a late afternoon snack...

So here's the plan: come this August, we're loading up the wagons, grabbing the tow-behind grill, and coming down to show you how a race day's supposed to be, not just the usual "clicks" of racers segregated between the front pit spaces for the BPR "in" crowd and the spots at the back of the building for backmarkers as well as B and C consolation racers.

While I am not a Zombie, per se (though I have on occasion been mistaken for a corpse), it is my intention to get on down to BP for tha ZC this August. The stars are lining up, and my business manager likes the idea. So, I would like to offer an alternative to our more southerly brethren and sistren in the spirit of decorum and civility.

To wit: As they are the hosts for this initial Zombie Classic, I say we Northern Barbarians accept their gracious hospitality and vittles for the event. Frankly, I'd could stand a little L.A. cuisine for a change. I'm sure they could find a way to have the Harbo of the Southland, aka Wolfgang Puck, or some other suitable chef come out for the day to serve us. As their guests, we would be delighted to sample the fare, and in return, when Zombie Classic 2 is held up here, we can let them get their Q on the way we like to do it... Harbo-style.

Harley, generous and loveable old crank that he is, thinks nothing of loading up the team bus with the equivalent of a restaurant and hauling it 600 miles to feed total strangers. That's just the kind of guy he is. I just think he should save it. Otherwise, the SoCal guys are gonna have to come up here and feed US when they visit, which seems like a bit much.

Note to Harley: if your Que-ing' all day, you're not racing, ya big lug.

Plus, I wouldn't want them to think HarleyQue gives us some kind of special powers, or something. Even though it does.

You guys :hang3: can keep your brains (frankly I've never cared for them). I, for one, am perfectly content to feast on the bouillabaisse, rack of lamb, creme brulle, and pork rinds Mr. De Lespinay will provide. :popcorm1:
