Its gonna sound like I'm picking on Hairy Canary on the list race call outs.
For PSO the Vettes need to battle it out again, calling out Vicious Vette.
For 4GO a rematch with Aces Wild is in order, so calling him out.
Are list races still planned for the week after The Texas Nationals?

Call Out update.......
I missed a couple of early Call Outs that I now have listed. I have updated both Call Out lists and I believe they are correct. I want to remind everyone how List racing works. Call Outs will go in the order they came in. I have listed call outs for Gnome and Hairy Canary without hearing from them because I'm sure they want to race up. So everybody should be on the list. If a racer has a call out on a spot, but was called out earlier in the round and loses, they will forfeit their call out. Example: Nosubfor3 has called out the #2 spot for Call Out 4, but Hilltop had already called him out for Call Out 2. If Nosub loses Call Out 2 against Hilltop and drops one spot, he forfeits his call out for the #2 spot. Make sense?? It can be confusing, but I've got a handle on it. There are a couple of other variables that could come up, but I'm not going to try and explain right now. There are two Rounds of List races. Some cars will run once....others 2 or 3 times.....and others possibly 4. It just depends on how the call outs play out. I won't continue to run a car that has an obvious problem, but we will deal with that if and when it comes up. |

Okay, I hope I am doing this right with the call out. At this time, I haven't seen anyone else in the Shark Pool nor a C-O up by SKR so I am calling him out for the #10 spot. I understand that if any more entrants arrive that the Shark Pool will have a run-off for the C-O for the #10 spot.

I was going to wait till I got all the cars before adding you to the list. At this point it looks like you will be sitting on the PSO List at #9 calling out #8 (SKR and Eagle are not showing up). If nothing changes, that's how it will play out for Round 1. I will go ahead and add you in now, but it could change if some cars end up showing up. |

 Untitled by rick williamson, on Flickr  Untitled by rick williamson, on Flickr Jeff my cars left this morning. They should be there Wednesday. I'm a inline short. I couldn't use my SG+ that ran good a Dave's race I balanced the arm in it and that made it illegal for your race. I wanted to leave that one alone. I had a DR-1 running better than the SG+ Viper I built for this race but went through two chassis doing it. The first chassis the brush tube saddle became lose and the tube kept popping out. Then on the second chassis the rear arm bushing was spinning and raising out of its saddle so I super glued that in which worked fine then the rear axle hole split. Had no time to build a 3rd. All my cars are lacking any horse power or speed. I need to stick to fewer cars I couldn't give them all the attention they needed. I think my real problem was I gave them to much attention and goofed them up ? Everything I did I made them worse. The Nash Competition Coupe is pretty rough. I shot some black primer on it to hide the bad stuff. I only had a half hour to detail it and glue it together before loading them up. I'm going to do a new one and cast it when I get a chance. This one was just some stuff I had lying around. But I think it would make a fun car to build. GOOD LUCK to ALL that's racing.

my hauler went out yesterday.
my paint shop failed me so the Fiat that Rick sent me isn't included.
I fear that Rick's tuning experience was mine as well. LOL
of course, I waited way too long to build and tune these cars which is why they went out so late.
yes, best of luck to all participants. I can't wait to see qualifying results and then eliminations.
JJ, thanx for putting on this race.

Rick I am guilty of all of the above. I can't tell you home many times I've had a fast car and lost it ALL because I went and messed with it. I'm there now with my 4GO Thunderbird. It went turd on me! So I'm kinda scrambling right now. When I run my cars in my event, I put a deadline on tuning at couple of days before the race. Then they go sit with everybody's cars and wait for qualifying. So tomorrow night is my deadline. That Nash is SICK!!! I can hardly wait to see it in person. Good luck! |

Thanks guys. I wish I had the time to do it right. Better body work, paint and detail. I hope it runs respectable ? Ron glade you made the race. Great to see you back. Al that's a bummer about the Fiat. A tune up can go wrong but paint can be disastrous. Gnome Jeff getting pumped on your race. I can't wait to start screwing up more stuff. It's going to take some time cleaning the carnage from getting ready for this race. JJ it makes me feel better to hear somebody else has the same tuning problems. I can have a car running good, make one change and if its not a good one I put it back the way it was and it should run the same ? WRONG ! Drive a guy crazy. Sam Thanks it's good to hear from you.
Rick

Must be something in the water,my story is right on track with the rest.two weeks ago bolth list cars were running faster then they had ever run ,put them back in there spot and when I went to send them to the race ,i tested all of my cars and was very disappointed. Had to take bolth 4 gear cars apart for reappear and didn't have time to let the glue dry so i could see how they are going to run. The anticipation is getting me good.

One piece at a time Johnny Cash car. Some of my builds are like that.
You gotta cast THAT one!
