My regular mail carrier is awesome. He has nothing to do with the sorters (the shredders as I call them) . The people at my Post office are great also. Not sure why the magazines I want to read are the things that get tore up every once in awhile. The mail order catalogs never a scratch. I have been told if your Magazine is on the top or the bottom of a bundle it is more apt to get wounded somehow.
I think when the boys from drag week showed up on the streets with them it changed the whole thing for NHRA. NHRA fought long and hard to get the racing to the track for the safety aspect of it all. Not every kid watching with a fast car understands what is going on when they film. That is who we all should be worrying about. If you have ever watched a body put on a gurney in several white wrapped sheets you would have a different opinion of this . Not a good site. The engine from the car was in the next yard from where the car itself stopped. The phone pole he hit was snapped off above the ground and 10 feet of it was still attached to the lines. The whole middle section was gone.
Good pictures. This is cool to see what is inside. Sometimes you get to find what that weird part in the parts box came from when a rare kit is reviewed. .
Thanks Joe . Watched two videos for the answer. You can not see in the race as too many people were in the way. Big Chief did not seem to be mad about what happened. I like what he said, I get to see my kids the next day. Dale that will be cool.
Craig what about the 1/24 scale 1930 rear fenders to match up to the bigger rear openings? I do think you are on to something with this idea. I think the changes you want to do to the fenders is the way to go. What you have done so far looks good.
Is that a Premier copy Casey? I looks like there is a P on the bottom that is not covered my their tags . If this one was 827 and they counted down , that's not a bad run.
I used to watch the show before I trimmed down the cable. Now I have seen a couple of the cars in Magazines lately and the cars look to be better than they were before. I think that the money that the show gives them went into the cars. I would say get a prostock car or a promod car and use that chassis as a starting point. May not be 100% correct but it would be faster than scratch.
