2009 FTE Online Championship ROUND ONE POLL

[Greywolf]

Okay! Here we are at the top of a brand new series of contest shows and my GOD what a fine bunch of trucks! The POLL above is SINGLE CHOICE, ANNONYMOUS, and will run for 14 (fourteen) days from the start. I see the pace truck pulling off into the pits - the GREEN FLAG IS OUT AND HERE WE GO!!! NOW: Notice the checkboxes next to the poll images. If one of them is checked - that's what you are choosing. Be careful to look at that before you click the "VOTE NOW" button. Once you vote, it's unchangeable - that vote is in. SO BE SURE!!! 1) SteveBricks ~ 2006 Ford F250 King Ranch 2) sddesigns ~ 01 Excursion XLT 4X4 V10 3) Daniel5.0 ~ 1991 F-150 XLT Lariat 4) Powerstroke72 ~ 2005 F-250 SD Lariat CC 4x4 6.0 5) AzBlueWolf ~ 1984 f250 4x4 xl 302 4 speed 6) 97nukeford ~ 2006 F-250 7) Foxxy ~ 07 Ranger FX4 Level II 8) tjc transport ~ 88 7.3 diesel superduty 9) Pony Hauler ~ 2007 SC FX2 Bill W ~ 1965 F100 (backlink to entry thread) ~Proud to bring something cool to my favorite website~

I'd like to say this for the record - when I first dreamed this up we didn't think (the bunch of us that were kicking the idea around) that it would go anywhere.

Ken Payne was thinking in terms of real life truck meets, but I knew in my heart I was way too many dollars down in pocket to make any road trips anytime soon. I kind of felt like the "TOKEN POOR BOY" but I never forgot my dreams.....

Shucks, I couldn't even get my own project trucks off the ground - but I never gave up!

But "NEVER QUIT" is an ingrained way of thinking, and thinking more on it made many earlier "CONTEST/SHOWS" ('CONSHOWS') happen, and people told me that it was a wonderful thing by all of their feedback that I recieved. It was fun all around - how could a southern boy resist?

I always looked to some way to make them graphically explosive, and intensely competitive. This is what it has all come to.

But things like this don't happen unless people all gather around to MAKE them happen.

I had the kernel of an idea....

YOU ARE THE SHOW!!!

There's no way these could work without FTE itself, and FTE is a whole lot of PEOPLE...


God bless Y'all!!!

*But I ain't anybody special, I just like fine barbeque

NOW GITCHA OUT THERE AND CHASE DOWN THAT FIRST PLACE!!!

You've got two weeks to do it however you can.

~ Having said all of that, I believe I will step outside and watch the fireflies....

Besides - I need to check on Rufusses water...

[fabmandelux]

Voted..............But it wasn't easy! All great trucks guys!

[AzBlueWolf]

I wish I had some more pics to post...

the mud dried the same color as the truck...it didnt even look dirty from 50 feet away...

[Greywolf]

I think it was BDOX who asked if there was a theme behind all of this - and all I can tell you is listen to your favorite music while you watch it all.

I'm hearing "MOLLY HATCHETS GREATEST HITS" as I type this....

I believe the next poll images will be smaller....
(I feel kind of embarrassed about that)
240 by might have been better.

"DOES ANYONE IN THIS PLACE HAVE A COLD SIERRA NEVADA? I'm in need..."

"Porter works... pale ale is more my style"

*grief*

This is not failure - it is more like "Upsetness at play".......

KRIKEY!!!!!


Can I do this again? I want to go this one more time.....

[Greywolf]

Not to worry - tear it up!

You do this from this point on whatever way you want to.


ROUND TWO WILL BE NEXT.


"I Guarantee ya....."

I still have some curious ideas I'm kicking around.

[liftnw8z]

I put my vote in, and let me tell you it wasn't easy to do. Great rides make it a very difficult choice.

[Foxxy]

GET YOUR VOTES IN!!!

[Greywolf]

Absotively awesome trucks....

And I dunno how or why - but the poll stats suddenly clicked into view once most of the images loaded. I guess 320 for the poll pictures wasn't so far off after all!

I'm still going to experiment with that a little.

Everybody? Feel free to comment, ask questions, tell us what you think!!!

[Foxxy]

Poor lil Ranger trying to hang with the big boys . We never get any love.

[Greywolf]

Hah! One day I'll finish my project Ranger and then we'll see if the big boys can even catch up to it....

I do like the newer grill style. Picture a 427W behind it!
