Event Coverage Austin HAMB'ers...this Monday, Austin Die-cast Drags!

Like you need an excuse to get out of the house Monday night and have a few pints with your favorite car buds, here is a little extra enticement!

This will be the first run, so bear with me but should be lots of fun...

No entry fees! No waivers to sign! No helmets required, but if you want to wear one by all means!


​

 

hahahhahaha man thats funny. i remember a conversation about this

 

That's so fucking cool!!!! I would be all over that.

 

The business end...Challenger vs. Charger...

 

hell yeah! that rocks...

 

This is gonna be fun!

 

will there be para-mutual betting?

 

Vroom-vroom........

 

Sounds fun! Reminds me of the pinewood derby events my racing club had. Two classes: Stock (boy scout rules) and Modified. Modified had two rules: 1 lb. max weight and no artificial propulsion. Loads of fun and some crazy rigs!

This'll be my first HAMB event other than meeting a couple folks in the 2009 LSR minibike races. Looking forward to meeting y'all...

Tommy (still a FNG after 6 years)

 

Haha - Too cool - fun time Im sure

 

Picked up a total sleeper at Toys R Us yesterday...hahahahahahaha

I won't be racing, just acting as track operator.

 

maybe this could be a event to add to the lonestar round up in 2011 since Jobe you are already in Austin, is this a possibility if approved by the higher ups ? maybe something like a 128 car field of heads up drag racing

 

I'm down, fun for the kiddos too. I want to figure out how to make a trigger release with a christmas tree and timing...so it's more like drag racing. You pull the trigger and release the car...but you could redlight and be out!

 

that Hot Wheels dragstrip needs a loop-de-loop

 

These are a BLAST
My bother-in-law has a couple of "Pinks" parties every year. Lose the race, lose your "ride".
His track has a Christmas tree and a red light - it even shows reaction time. I'll try find out where he bought it.

 

I think this might be the source.

Our club is planning the same type of event for our annual BBQ in July. PINKS rules..."Lose the race, lose your ride"

 

I want to start it out pretty simple, see if there is interest. Then maybe run again in a month and raise the stakes or start a point system.

 

Yup Fuel,
That's the track

 

I'll be there, tearing orange plastic with my aqua metallic Deora...

If you need any track, I have a vintage '67 Super Charger Sprint Set in my closet.

 

Oh man does that bring back memories of fighting with the neighbors.

 

sounds fun, i'm in! Gotta go get some cars!

 

Jobe - I can't believe you did it. This is gonna be fun. Not to intimidate anybody, but here's a peek at my stable...

 

Sweet!

 

That does sound like fun, I might have to attend with Blake this Monday.

 

I told my folks I didn't want 'em, but they didn't want 'em either... so I ended up with them again anyway...

I think I'm ready...

 

Is it ok if I trailer mine?

 

Sweet, spied s nomad and some hot rods in there

 

This is SOOOOOO COOOOOOL!!!!! Wish I was closer...I've got about 13,000 Hotwheels to choose from,hahaha! We used to hold races for days....Loose the race,loose your car! That was back in 69,70,71,and 72....Early PINKS,HAHAHA!
Still have all my track,starting gate,finish flags,and the parachute pieces. Maybe i'll bring my track to the HAMB BBQ....

 

CHAINER !


Man that looks like a blast- hope you guys have fun & take lots o' pics!!!
