Lunajammer Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 x2. Plus if we need more spots they can just continue into the next post. Crude, but achievable.
JM485 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I think that both options could work well. I see the advantages to multiple rounds of voting, but I also see the advantages of having a single round as well. Whatever we do, a decision needs to be made so we can get the voting underway. I'm fine with whatever is chosen, I'm just an impatient person!
JM485 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Any updates on this? If we are not going to do a vote that's fine, I just wanted to know what the plan is.
maltsr Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Hi Josh, Nick has set up a new poll in 'Under Glass' http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82840
JM485 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Ha, I'm dumb and luckily another member sent me a pm telling me it was there. Not sure how I missed that!
Jantrix Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) A few of us have done some brainstorming. Nick will make his final decision, but if he goes with what we discussed I think everyone will be pleased. 2014 will be the 7th running of the Cannonball CBP and was originally started on the other magazine forum. Since coming to MCM out participation has tripled. We see more builders interested every year. This years field of 22 racers on the starting line is a record for the CBP and I personally hope it continues to grow. I'm pretty sure I'll be participating next year.

wrecker388 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I will definitely try and reach the starting line next year. Getting a new airbrush for Christmas so I should be fine as far as that goes.
TFchronos Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Count me in too, I'll be back with a more believable car next year.
Dragfreak Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) count me in too! I'd like to thank nick for putting in all the time and effort that he does to run it! next year I will not bring a drag car to a cross country race Edited December 20, 2013 by Dragfreak

64SS350 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Congrats Road Runner 79, well deserved!! Loved the Duster!
A.R.C. Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Congrats Roadrunner. Your Duster was a killer
TFchronos Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Congratulations Pat! It's one of the finest rolling rust buckets I've ever seen, above and beyond amazing job on it. And to everyone else, we may not have won the popularity vote but I think we're all still winners for making it to the start line. Amazing entries everyone! And a big thanks to Nick for running it this year and next year, you done good. I look forward to seeing you all there next year and all the shenanigans that will surely follow. Edited December 22, 2013 by TFchronos
Jantrix Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Congrats to Pat. The Duster was true Cannonballer in every sense of the word. And it was marvelously done.
Nick Winter Posted December 23, 2013 Author Posted December 23, 2013 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83124 I jumped the gun a bit, but 2014 Cannonball topic is up, I'll lock this one and we can continue this over there, again thank you everyone for your participation and Patience. Nick
Lunajammer Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) A belated congrats to Pat, Nick and all those who outraced the other noble contenders. For all those who didn't make it to the start line, if you choose to finish them I'd sure like to see a final shot here of how they ended up. Edited December 24, 2013 by Lunajammer
