Drag Car Contest OFFICIAL CONTEST THREAD

[erb]

Cool to see you over here wayne!

[tigeraid]

So my Mustang project has taken a turn for the worst, I think I'm in over my head in terms of keeping it in a stock class... Nothing about the front frame section fits the engine, and I'm gonna hafta hog out the wheelwells a bit to fit the tires. Is it OK if I change my entry to just plain "drag car" ?

[white97ex]

fine by me. lol. I don't think we will classify these things until they are all finished. We are losing a lot of interest. we have picked up a person or two. I know that Dave is still working on his 57. Davey's Top Fuel Rail is still an expected entry. My mustang is finished and ready to roll. My Corvette, It is all depending on how quickly it gets cast and returned so it is up in the air. We have Jurva's TT escort. NasTone has a couple entries in the works. Not sure where he is on those things. drnitrus is still working on his civic drag car.

If you are in the contest or are interested still. We have just shy of 2 months left. Enough time to put something together if you have not started. For those who have, please, leave us some sort of response in this thread and let us know where you are with your project. I would like to get an idea of everyone who is still making a run for the finish. I need to contact our sponsors and make sure that they are still on board. If a moderator could update the title of the thread for me, and have it say Drag Car Contest sponsored by Top End Miniatures and Perry's Resin. UPDATED 9/11/05

Thanks

Ya, we need some more definite entries. I'm still in for sure, the project is just ever-changing :P

[drnitrus]

Im still in it. Making good progress on the interior and engine. Im hoping to have the interior done this week. From there I am gonna try and drop in the motor and finish the front of the chassis. I am waiting for a new body so I can chop the front off as well. I will post pics as I go.

[white97ex]

sounds good!

There have been talks of extending the deadline to february. This would allow us to not interfere with the AFMOTY, and would hopefully allow for more entries....any thoughts? anyone in the contest already will be receiving a PM

[nasTone]

Well, my Mercury is almost complete. I decided to remove the side moldings and repaint the body. I am also working on the '66 Nova, but I won't consider this an entry for the contest yet. I don't know if I will have time to finish it. The Mercury will be complete by the deadline. If we extend it, so be it - that is fine with me.

[drnitrus]

I was shooting for the October deadline but extending it is fine with me.

[tigeraid]

That's alright with me...

[white97ex]

ok guys. As of right now we are extending it to February 1

Hey guys, what's going on over here? It seems as if some of the prgress on this contest has slowed dramatically. There are some really cool projects being done here but no new updates in quite a while. It appears from above that the deadline has been extended. I want to see some of these excellent projects finished. You guys started off with a lot of enthusiasm; let's finish with the same energy.

[white97ex]

thanks for the encouragement and support wayne. hopefully by extending the deadline it will bring new entries. I sent pm's to everyone who has entered the contest, and have only heard from about half

[tigeraid]

Still making progress here, just slowing down a bit with the new deadline... I'm having to fashion a whole new front subframe myself, which'll be a first time for me, so I'm glad for the extension
