No sir, Derby City road course is Carrera.

Well , it's definitely not a fast car , but I think it's one of my favorite proxy builds . Mailed this a.m. Looking forward to getting some race "patina" on it . :banana-rock:

Mine will be right there with yours. I agree, some of the most fun ever.

Mine's going out this afternoon. That should encourage Fumey and Harry 'cause I'm aiming for last place!

Agreed on the amount of fun this proxy has provided.

Very cool - matches the Nerf icon !

Fumey you are right I just noticed that. LOL

Mine shipped out today.

As of this date, I have these 8 cars in hand, not sure how many are left but you have a week !
I took the time to go over these cars and gave each some practice time and timed them. Not that it means alot because I won`t be the only driver, but here`s what I did. I ran a few laps with each car, cleaned the tires, then ran 10 laps. After the 10 laps, I took the fastest lap out of the next 5 and recorded it for your veiwing. Again don`t read much into this just something to get the blood flowing. Great smooth cars all of them, very fun to drive !!

Rob,I didn`t post them in any order, they are all very close when you drive them. What amazes me is how close the weights are.

Good news: our cat got her stitches out this morning, so the 24/7 cat monitoring is over

Bad news: because of the cat issues I didn't have any time to work on a car this month. :violin:

Hopefully there's a 2014 run.

Well, Tiger Tom Pistone showed up at the last minute at Nick and Ty's garage to put together a zipper top for this race.

The guys and girls at the garage were able to get him a Plymouth Fury with a 427 (never knew that Plymouth made a 427) in it. As we speak the number 59 is winging its way to Mark Thomas to join in the fray. Pictures to follow later.
