How many entrants do you get for this race? It's really hard to answer that ? This is the first year for this race, but based on the figures I have right now, I would say 100+ cars. As it gets closer I will have an even better idea of how many !! Sorry to be so vague, it's just really hard to tell with a new race. Lucky 13

I just wanted to take a few minutes and say "Thank You" to ALL the companies/vendors/organizations who have offered sponsorship to the "Bluegrass Nationals". I appreciate it !! I also wanted to say "Thank You' to all the racers who have posted, e-mailed, PMed or even called me offering their help and support of the race !! What a great group of people to be associated with !! Everything seems to be coming together and the race grows a little more each day. "The Center" contacted me and let me know that they will have a concession stand open for us. We will be able to purchase food/drinks during the event. They will have pizza, pop, candy, chips, etc.. If they don't have something you like, then the main strip (Highway 27) has just about every kind of food you could want !! No one will go hungry !! Just a reminder for anyone wanting to race who can't attend in person. DerbyDoc has volunteered to be are "official" proxy car racer. I know he is getting close to his limit on cars to race for people, but, I'm sure he has a little more room for anyone else that may want to proxy a car. You can also have a friend/fellow racer proxy your cars for you !! Remember, the race will be broadcast live via the Internet, so you will be able to see your car race !! I know a lot of you are working on new cars for the race (I've got 4 drying right now ). Please remember the race sponsors when you are purchasing car parts, accessories or even a track/timer (like I know a few of you have ). Let them know you appreciate them sponsoring the race, it really does make a difference !! The response from the pinewood community has been fantastic. There is going to be a ton of give-a-ways thanks to our awesome sponsors !! Thank again everyone !! I'm looking forward to a great day of racing and fellowship and I look forward to meeting all of you !!
Lucky 13

Mr. Derby Doc, is that car you show as your avatar an available design? That is really a lot better than my wedges and flat racers. Where can I get plans/instructions? Is it carved from a standard block, or what? I'd be concerned that the front axle wood would break off, if it was a standard block.
TIA!

If I could airbrush as good as Kevin, then I would be an airbrush artist by trade. Kevin has never made a bad looking car. Awesome job DerbyMaster. Hope to finally meet that guy at The Bluegrass Nationals. PS- Big axle mod showdown for Bluegrass. ;D
