Congrats, Carl on your win in the covertable. You guy's are a class act, we will be closing down for awhile to put a celing in the garage so we can insulate, getting to cold now to race so it's got to be done. look forward to results from sunny fla.

Very cool! I love the jalopys. My oval is feeling a little neglected lately I have to get back to building some of these great looking cars. All these classes look fantastic. Jim

Thanks guys we have some good racers in our group,we keep the rules simple and inexpensive most classes we use the Colgate Motion 360 motor.The one class we do have a rule in is the Classic Grand National the years are from 1949 to 1986 the car and driver have to be a real driver and car painted as the real car was.

Great looking cars and sound simple rules...

The cars you are racing look great, have that vintage feel, and are scale appearing - again - great job. Definitely inspired by what you are doing.

I should/might try to introduce a simple 'entry-level' modified to race in class at South Shore Speedway - here on Log Island. They (we) race similar stuff chassis-wise, but I really would like to see the big-scale hard-body open-wheel vintage asphalt-modifieds racing around the track - like you guys run.

The next South Shore Speedway race is Friday November 30th, so that gives me a couple/three days to get something together.

Thanks for the inspiration, and race coverage!
