NASCAR??? :huh:

Where else can he put it Harry? There isn't a short track category B):P

Or is it because he built something different?

Bob that us right up my alley. Short track dirt & asphalt cars are what got me back in the hobby about a year & a half ago.

Under Glass.

Us poor short track builders are so use to being the red headed step child and put in NASCAR or open wheel categories at shows we tend to migrate to the NASCAR section here.

We'd be quite happy if Greg added a section for us B):P

Bob, that thing is nice! very cool build!

did you shorten the asphalt modified chassis? i really like the oil cooler too B)

Dave

Thanks. The chassis was shortened a scale 8" between the engine and firewall. The oil cooler was cut off sn old NASCAR kit radiator.

To those less "enlightened", it is in fact a NASCAR modified.

Bob

NASCAR sanctions all kinds of different classes, they even have a dirt late model division, & used to sanction the "Super Modifieds" at San Jose on the dirt 1/3 mile. Nascar is a sanctioning body, it does not mean that the "cup" cars are the only NASCAR race cars out there.

Super nice indeed. B):) Crisp & clean. I always enjoy these short trackers and check in on them regularly when they pop up.

...surprized no one has said anything about all the short track builds I posted here....

Slim, I always look for your stuff, whether it's here or on the H.A.MB.! B):)

Regarding categories, I'll take the other side and say that everything should simply be "Under Glass" rather than getting lost in some particular sub-category/sub-culture. In my opinion the "other magazine's" website has been destroyed by too many style-specific categories in which to post your builds, along with absolutely no general category like Under Glass, forcing the builder to choose a category each time, or multi-post across overlapping ones (even worse).

I'm of the opinion that the 'Drag' and 'Nascar' categories should be collapsed into one, 'Racing vehicles'. Everyone would know where to look, and most folks know to put something in the subject line to identify. My 2c B)
