MAVERICK - NEW MARCH STOCKER

[JOKER]

THIS CAR WAS VERY RESILIENT AND REALLY WANTED TO MAKE IT TO THE MARCH WIRL. IT ALMOST WENT INTO THE TRASH CAN THREE DIFFERENT TIMES AFTER SOME MISHAPS DURING THE DESIGN & PAINT PHASES.
I GUESS THE C.R.A.P.S. FOLKS WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY TICKED HAD I BEEN GUILTY OF THROWING AWAY PERFECTLY GOOD PINEWOOD.

BECAUSE OF THIS LITTLE CARS DETERMINATION AND GRIT, I JUST HAD TO CALL IT - "MAVERICK."

UPDATE ON "BLACKJACK" - I'VE PARTNERED UP WITH A GOOD FRIEND WHO ALSO HAS A PASSION FOR PINEWOOD DERBY. HIS SON HAS BEEN THE LOCAL DISTRICT CHAMPION TWO YEARS IN A ROW. HE ALSO RUNS A PAINT SHOP AND HAS JOINED WILDCARD RACING TO ADD A LITTLE PIZAZZ TO OUR CARS. HE IS WORKING ON REPAINTING "BLACKJACK" AS WE SPEAK. THEREFORE, COUNT ME IN FOR TWO STOCKERS AT THE MARCH WIRL. WITH MY NEW TEAM MEMBER, MY CARS SHOULD START TO LOOK A LOT BETTER!!!! I'LL CLAIM CREDIT FOR THE PAINT ON "MAVERICK" THIS MONTH.

WARTHOG,

I WISH YOUR SON GOOD LUCK AGAINST THE PHYSICS TEACHER.........FYI - YOU KNOW HE SOLD "HOLEY TRINITY" AND "PHYSICS PINE FURNITURE 2" ON EBAY NOT LONG AFTER THE FEBRUARY WIRL RACE.

Did he tell everyone they were the two fastest cars in the history of Pinecar racing? ;D

so the teacher builds pretty fast cars and charges people, who willingly pay him.
so the teacher as a wirl builder has figured out the more cars you enter, the more builder
points you can make towards the year end points title.

seems like an intelligent man to me. but so is the guy that got people to buy water.

MOODSWING - YOU ARE RIGHT!......AND US TALKIN' ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME PROBABLY JUST GIVES HIM MORE PUBLICITY! HE'S PROBABLY RUBBING HIS HANDS TOGETHER EVERYTIME WE SUBMIT A POST ABOUT HIM.

I AM HOPING TO SEND A STOCK CAR IN THIS MONTH TO SEE WHERE I AM. I HAVE NEVER RACED WIDE WHEELS BEFORE. I HAVE ONLY BUILT CARS FOR RA'S, BUT I HAVEN'T RACED ON A BEST TRACK OR BEST TRACK STYLE BEFORE. I HOPE I AM NOT TOO SLOW, BUT IF I AM I WILL TRY TO GET FASTER. I REALLY ENJOY BUILDING CARS WITH MY SON, BUT HE IS ONLY 4 AND UNABLE TO RACE. I HAVE A SPIDERMAN AND A BULLDOG CAR READY TO BE SENT IN.

[JOKER]

TROLL,

[Magic Man]

Joker,

Your car looks great. I think the paint looks nice.

WIRL takes determination and grit from both the builder and the car. I'm sure it will do just fine. I thought Blackjack did well its first time out.

Good luck this month.

Troll,

Welcome!!!! With an attitude like that , you will do just fine.

This is a good place to try your ideas and improve your skills. You can also have a lot of fun no matter where you finish. You might surprise yourself, you may be more competitive than you think.

Good luck with "SPIDERMAN" & "BULLDOG".

Don't get me wrong...the Physics teacher has got some skills. He is a formidable opponent. He just needs to back off of telling everyone that he is. Buckeye is the man to beat. The PT was 0-8 against him. We were all 0 for against him for that matter. I do have a problem with selling cars to what amounts to lazy parents who put zero effort into their sons PWDs. I won't dwell on that. I look forward to the PT making himself known on this board. I'm sure we have more in common than not. I can and usually do find the good in most people. I also look forward to seeing how my car does against his fleet. In the next couple of months I plan to focus on adding another stocker. Just my 2 cents.
