I believe you're living the life I wish I had.

I have a few different cars, but I only have time to tune and race one of them. I'm helping my two kids get into racing. I'm hoping to get into 1/10 4WD racing. I would really like to get into 1/10 Stadium truck, but there are not too many places out there that still race them. 1/10 2WD and 4WD is about all they race out here.

Oh, I'm putting my race bag together! I'm just dumping too much money on getting the kids up and running. My son is 12 and my daughter is 11. I'm trying to teach them how to tune their cars. My daughter just wants to race it and buy new bodies show she can paint them and race with a different shell each night. I guess it would be too devastating for someone to notice she is racing with the same shell twice in a row.

My wife hasn't rolled her eyes back to forward facing since I told her I was getting back into racing again.

This is Ford Versus Ferrari on a small scale. You're that Miles Guy and I'm Shelby. I should trade in my Porkpie Hat for a Cowboy.

That's a pretty funny story when you think about it. Ferrari didn't think Amercians could build a vehicle that could outperform them.

I heard that story from a classic car collector card, about the 1966 GT40. That movie is the long version

 

[AClegg]

LOL... I haven't seen the movie yet. I do plan on it. I am a "Ford" guy, so I find the story to be quite entertaining. I would love to have a GT40 or an AC Cobra.

I'm not sure they were wrong in thinking that at the time. Was it Miles's idea to put a V8 in the Ford Mustang in 1964.5, or would they have come up that on their own? Hey don't throw a wrench at me!

I don't remember who's idea it was. It's just too bad they didn't keep building 427 Cobra Jet and install it in the mustangs. They installed it in a few other cars besides the GT40 and the Cobra.

If you ever come to race my Stadium league in Massachusetts, don't bang your car repeatedly with a hammer if I say it doesn't qualify as is. It's been done. Now go see that movie. I saw 3/4 of it.

 

[Heisenburg]

Too bad my idea about preferred driving style option of "Cruising" didn't take. I race and cruise.

You only saw 3/4 of the movie? Was it that bad, or did you just run out of time?

Watch it over 007Chris's house, whilst fixing some of his RCs. Had to keep pausing the movie to go downstairs and find missing parts. Had to leave right around the parts where the brakes on the GT40 caught fire. Dying to really watch it, to the end.
