I am not sure exactly what we are sending... Anyone know what they are going to send? Post your pics here! Take a look at "Lissy's Lavender Lizard" I't's one of my little girl's Stock Cars... Perhaps She'll make it in!
From Left to Right, Orange Peel, Lissy's Lavender Lizard, Swamp Thing, Purple People Eater and Thin Mint"

she just might be there! Also, Orange Peel II is running faster than Flagmaster II... Lastly, make a box and then buy one from WIRL for 4.00, I buy them for all my cars they are perfect!

Yikes! Mean Streak has a brother? That car looks amazing! And USA1... Well I hope FlagMaster II doesn't come home in your Box! LOL! I love those Skins, Screamin'Eagle will make a nice addition to the stock division!

So I get home yesterday and I have about 90 minutes until I have to be at Tanner's baseball game so I decide to play with my cars. I built a car called "The Purple People Eater and had a ton of trouble with it from A - Z. The day before It was getting smoked by 2 of my cars and racing side by side of Thin Mint (which is a fast car but not top 10 material any longer) and losing by a nose. I decided to pop it on eBay and try to make some of my money back and start over! Then yesterday I decide to mess with the alignment. I made my adjustment and it was screaming fast! It beat FlagMaster II consistantly and traded back and forth with Orange Peel... I pulled it off of eBay right away! He's heading to WIRL! I hope it pays off!

Ok, Here is the final line up! I have left out the Stock car as it is way to "Gonzo" to show you!
"FlagMaster II"
"Purple People Eater"
"Orange Peel II"
"Crush"
My cars are beat to death as yo can tell this test track is rough on them and my stopping section will fro time to time "LAUNCH" my cars like the General Lee running from Roscoe. I am going to pull the wheels and rework the wheels and axles on all my cars Wednesday and Thursday and then ship them by the weekend! I hope to have it down to 2 cars but if my races stay this tight I may not know which cars to leave at home! I don't feel as competitive this month... We shall see!
My cars as a scout! Including the original "Orange Peel"

Crush bit the dust...sigh A monthly event it seems, I tend to destroy a car 1 week out or have help from the kids... this time was all me. I was getting a little to cute with a concept involving the wheels and hub to body friction. I still like the idea so I am gonna keep it to myself until I see if it works...anyway, I was trying to keep within the rules and so I had to remove some material. I set up a cut off tool and set spring clamps onto the car... kabblam! the clamps pop off, the concept parts go flying and the car splits in the front left quarter panel... my other three are boxed and shipping at lunch. I do not have a good feeling about June, but July will be our month!

....ok, how do you post a photo?!?....lol Click on the 4th icon over in the second row in the "Add tags:" sections (insert image). It will give you this: ' ' (I had to remove the ending(]) & beginning ([) brackets. It wanted to insert a pic). Type or paste in the url address where "URL" is. Good luck @ WIRL! Mike

If I'm following this right, the URL is the web address of the picture. But what if you don't have a website that has the picture? The picture that I want to post is on my hard drive, what do you do then?
Any help would be appreciated, basically, I'm computer stupid...lol
Thanks all

To post your picture, it has to be on the internet somewhere. The url is the address of the website, i.e. www.mypic.what ever it is. If it is not on a web site somewhere, it won't show up. Good luck, Mike

Thank you, same to you. Yes I used the imagestation, turned out great! But...I do have some bad news, silly me tried to wax the finish and messed it up.
So I wet-sanded it with 2000 grit and I'll race it Saturday , if I make deadline, looking horrible then when I get it back I'll stip it and start over.
Unless it does good and I may just leave it alone....lol
