Drag cars included too, Roger?...PLEASE????!!!!????? :wave:

Sounds like fun..

Hi Rog,

nice idea to start another one of your famous contests! :-)

So here are my Fairlane "weekend warriors":

http://www.aus-dem-rahmen-gefallen.de/slotcars/dm_2fairlane_dirt01.JPG

If they were elected the price would have to be shared between our fellow Dave Martin (who sent me these 2 bodies some months ago) and me! ;-) They came already decaled and well played with so all I had to add were the chassis with Vincent rims and some traded paint...

So let´s all have some fun and look forward to seeing more pics!

Best regs,

Claus

REAL car, Larry? And just what is so hard about turning LEFT?!!! Keeping a car in a very narrow straight line at 260 mph takes REAL skill! :tongue:
hehehe, okay.....time to shift gears! (no pun intended :) ) Now I just have to pick something to wreck.....LOL...plus I had better figure out how to take clear pics like Claus!

Hi Gang :wave:
This photo IS NOT entries for the contest, but I thought some of you might like to see'em. Late '70s to early '80s NDRA style Dirt Late models, all mounted on T-Jets & A/FX chassis. All of'em painted by "ol' Shakey, hisself" (me). Maybe it might give some of you guys ideas! (Hint Hint DAC!!) Joez, I have a 70+ year old buddy that lives over in Ocala that said "it aint that hard to run 300+mph in a straight line". His name is Don sumpthin......... :)

still slavin' away in "the Fab Shop" on some (hopefully) trick "Ground Pounders"

Hi Claus :wave:
Those look great! :cool: Love those rims too! :thumbsup:

Larry

How yall doin?
Here's my entries. The WISSOTA superstock was in here a couple weeks ago and is a 440X2 narrow that was a glow in the dark Corvette. The Chevy II was a Datsun 510 magnetraction. Both them cars have been posted before so more info can be looked up I think?
Devil Woman was just clear coated tonite so no one has seen it and I aint had a chance to crash it yet. Its a loose representation of Marty Robbins' first dirt car after racin midgets several years. The bod is a Dragjet Resins "reject" 37 Ford(thanks Chris!) Body parts, rear tires, front axle, paint and lettering done by me.
Claus- I love the Fairlane- Body roughed up, paint swappin marks and all!
Larry- Been to yer buddy Don (Garlits) place before! Very cool- gotta go again!
Roger - Thanks for puttin on a contest for us old Dirt Racers!
Have a good'n --- Circle Track DAC

Oh yah the timeline on these cars-777, early 1960's, 10-1978, and 911 is a current style.

I'll have some to enter into the running. The mini-contests are great ! ! :wave: tjd

Hi Gang
Here are my wife's entries. Top photo is her Dirt Late Model. I cast the body and made the decals, she painted it and detailed/decaled it. The lower photo is her coupe, a RRR body, painted and decaled by her.

Hi Gang
Here is my final entry. The body is cast by me, painted and lettered by me. It's hard to see, but there is a interior w/Driver and roll bar inside. I was going for the "raced" look instead of "fresh outta that shop" look.

Hey there, Rog-

First and formost--Thanks for the contest!

Hi everyone,

Ok, since you didn’t specify it had to be a hand-made custom (although I think that’s what you meant), I will post 2 pics--the first being my fav’ because they did a great job on capturing the look for a stock piece.

Cont….

The second I humbly submit as a no-winner in this contest—but it is by far not a loser.
This came to me by way of a mate that picked it up through various trades. He knew I would keep it as original. It was a guy’s favorite racer, and he tweaked and modified the original chassis (not the present one) to gain peak performance with it for about 7 years. He won a lot of local races with it, and a few trophy’s too. This was forty years ago.
So it may not place too well here, but it’s a winner in its own right--and now gets its 15min. of fame.

Any consolation prizes for last place?



Cheers..

This isn't done yet. But its coming along. It started life as a.50 junk box body. I removed the 5 layers of paint, and there was a 40 Ford tyco body. I chopped and lowered the top. Added abs to the hood,engine compartment,rear wheel wells and the trunk area. The air cleaner came for a matchbox dirt modified that I got from a garage sale. Nerf bars I made from brass and the headers came from ? thats a good question. The trailer is hand built. The truck has a ball hitch on it. I made the trailer hook up to look like a surge brake set up. Truck cap ? (Matchbox) I am currently working on the drivers compartment , roll cage, steering wheel, driver, etc. The idea came from and coupe that ran out east called the Underdog Coupe. It was a 40 Pontiac . I saw a picture of it in Circle Track years ago. I hope you like.
Sundance :tongue:

Roger Corrie

I can' get into the chat room so WHO WON! ? Thanks :wave:

Roger did not show up. So Boss 9 stood in for him and said EVERYONE won! Now Roger is going to give away a body to everyone that entered, right? :)

Don't think so. Sorr y about missing Chat. We had our Pinewood Derby last night and I just forgot about Chat too darn busy so I guess I will give the cars one more look and announce the winner :)

Roger Corrie

Has the Late Model Coupe that is/was the grand prize had a pic posted anywhere? I'm keen to see it. Thanks to Roger for getting everyone to post their roundy-round cars. Always gives me a boost.

(four weeks till race season...four weeks to race season.)
