A little silver on the trophy shelf will make up for messing up that nice new paint .... Good luck.

Going to race dirt or black top? Dirt cars are a ton of fun. If they look nice and pretty after a night of racing that usually means you finished last or close to it.


After awhile the mean, torn up, dented look dirt cars get adds to it's bad as appeal in my opinion.

At any rate, good luck and have fun!!

I drove mine easy for my practice and first lap. Coming out of turn two on the second lap I got chopped and scratched the front right fender. After that, it was all out!

Sweet! Too bad it won't look near as good after the first race! As I previously posted, I got hooked hard on racing last year. My son and I are planning on putting a car together for next year. Bomber class, that way we can both ride in it. Can't wait!

Hey Dustin,

Nosir, Bomber class is an actual class out here. Not much more than a gutted out interior, roll cage, no glass. You can have two people in the car. Passenger is just that. We have a German Air Force Squadron out here at Holloman Air Force Base. One of their guys drives an old Escort. Son of a gun wins dang near every time. It's a riot to watch him. He's got a huge following of fans too. They are hilarious.

I know the two pedal cars you are talking about. We went up to the local putt putt track a month or so ago and rode them. Some guy and his little 3 year old cut me off. Pee'd on his tires out in the parking lot before we left. See if he tries that again...

Rich
