i'll be there, cars are ready to go. 

[Pete L.]

Fellas,

 

 Seem to be some more Gran Prix cars being built...stay tuned.

[mdiv]

I'll be there! Working on my sports car, picked up one of the Waldorf and Statler Productions chassis recently.

[slotcarone]

That's great Mike. I was not aware of any readily available chassis. What's it look like?

[Pete L.]

Mikey,

 

 I'm interested in seeing that myself.  There my very well be some additional cars (GP) under construction.

[mdiv]

Here's the car. Waldorf and Statler are the two old guys in the balcony from the muppets, nicknames lovingly bestowed upon Oliver and Dave, two locals at the Race Place. Dave has been building jaildoor gp and sports car chassis from scratch and selling them for very fair prices.

I finished the roller last night, here it is:




I painstakingly did the body at 3am this morning, here it is:



Hope you enjoy!! See you on the 7th!! Happy labor day and have fun in school kids!!

Mikey, that chassis appears to be well-built. When you say you did the body at 3;00 AM did you mean the winging & mounting? Or did that include painting the body also?

[mdiv]

Hi Bill,

 

Yes, Dave does a nice job.  He just loves putting these together, and I think he and Oliver bet a buck to see where I end up finishing whenever I race, LOL!  

 

Just jokes on the body.   That's an older King Race body that I picked up a few weeks ago that will be on a wing chassis at some point.  King Race was awesome, amazing paint jobs!  I've got another one I'll show somewhere else on the blog at another time.

 

I've got a JK Lotus 40 waiting to be cut, mounted and painted/detailed.  To be completed Soon™.

 

Keep your eye on this thread for more....and I'd LOVE to see other folks' jaildoor GP and Sportscars!

The "Grim Reaper" gives the body away. When we a local track (1996-2010), they sold a lot of king bodies. One of them had a side view of "GR" in black. Others had well-endowed women in black. The King bodies I have seen, have all looked 1st class.

[Lou E]

I plan on being there.

[Pete L.]

Fellas,

 

 Looks as though there are a few new Jail Door cars being assembled for the event...maybe we'll see some pics ?

[sportblazer350]

here you go Pete, just need to paint it:

[sportblazer350]

now i need to buy another F1 chassis and build a second car. Trying to get my son to race with us.  

[slotcarone]

I can't make this race as I have a family event--imagine that! I suppose someone could use my cars.

[sizzlerdom]

Hey Mikey I think you got the wing car body from Dom's Raceway ! a few weeks ago .

[sportblazer350]

Mike- if there is a way to lend your cars out, it would be appreciated. I am trying to get my son to start racing again, so i could use an additional car or two if he can make it.

 

thanks! 

[DE38]

I will definitely be there so I could bring them with me. I will also have John's F1 that I used at the last race, my build should be ready to go. 

[sportblazer350]

thanks Charlie, we can put them to good use

[Pete L.]

B.U.M.P.

[DE38]

My first F1 Jail Door scratchbuild will be ready to race next Sat.

Charlie, your 1st F1 Jail Door chassis looks real clean sitting on the jig. Do you have any plans to build a Can Am Jail Door chassis too?

[DE38]

Thanks Bill, maybe at some point but I have a really good running chassis right now.

[slotcarone]

Bill here is one I built a few years ago.
