Stars & Stripes 2

For the Memorial Day weekend we had the 2nd running of our Stars & Stripes Enduro race at "Da Bag" speedway.

This year the race was Trans-Am cars between the years 1966 & 1972.

I had this old Mustang body laying around & I didn't want to be just another guy in a Camaro so the Mustang became my Trans-Am racer.

Race Wars Lives

Note: This is part two of The Fast & The Furious. It is the artical posted rite below this.

The Fast & The Furious ... the movie became a slot car race. At the end of that long, long day I had to wonder if everybody / anybody enjoyed it. Yeah a good race is always fun, but this one took over twelve (12) hours! In the next week or so all I heard from the guys that raced was it was a total blast & are you gonna do another one? So I decided to make it a once a year event.

 

And I did.

Hopefully we learn from our mistakes ... and I did. For the second Race Wars with some better planning we were able to cut the time down to less than ten (10) hours. And as the years have gone by, there have been several changes to make the race a better race & accommodate more racers without losing the original theme of the race. Now here we are some eight (8) years later & still going strong ... and come September, 2009 Race Wars 8 will be held.

In closing let me get back to the movie.

There has been a second & a third Fast & Furious movie.

The fourth movie was released ... on April 3, 2009 &

like with all the rest I was there

I totally enjoyed it & as soon as it's out on DVD you can

bet I'll buy it..

But I think the first one will always be my favorite

after all, it has already given me & a bunch of the guys

I race with seven (7) years of happiness.

The Ninco Corvette Down Low

If you're in to the old Vette scene ... this is gotta be at the

top of your list.

Fun ride to the track

I think the Thunderbird should make a great tow car.
Needed a way to get the #32 car down to the old Santa fe Speedway in style.


Norb ... now I won't have to keep using your 55 Chevy. ... J Y D

Carrera 57 Chevy

I couldn't help myself ... I had to get rid of that scoop. It just didn't look rite to me.
Well when you take the scoop off you have two small holes in the hood & besides the car was beggin' me to put a blower on it.
While I was at it I figured mite as well put a new chassis under it. I set the ride height like the good old days (old school) but after having coffee with it come mornning I'm gonna put the whole car down in the weeds (new ~ old school). Then all that's left is to do the interior.
