Bill, yes, Pink Floyd's Time!
the yellow 57 Vette is original Aurora AFX.
it came to me missing hood, windshield and roll bar.
it also had a good portion of passenger side missing between wheel wells.
I used a 4-gear yellow Rolls Royce for GOOP material to fix the missing piece, it doesn't quite match, but pretty close.
it was at that point that I decided to put a Hot Wheels chrome motor in the engine bay.
I did cut a piece out of the engine bay to get the motor to fit nicely.
in hind sight (always 20/20) I could have used that piece to fix the side, oh well.
AW windshield and roll bar to finish the look.
so it is a race car, not a collectible.
thank you for noticing.
let's go racing boys!

Mazda a great challenge great ET'S 7'S 🤔 Lighter body better ET ? Both Great Drag cars. Congratulations I agree but you still have to look good even when you loose  . Again well done, very consistent run times. |

Mazda a great challenge great ET'S 7'S 🤔 Lighter body better ET ? Both Great Drag cars. Congratulations I agree but you still have to look good even when you loose . Again well done, very consistent run times. I totally agree about good/real looking cars I try my hardest to make them look good but the weight Still fulls around or better then 6grams, and most of those laxen bodies are less then 1 gram and look so fack. It would be nice if we all agreed to run the old time 🕑 bodies and the Resin bodies,all my 32 Ford Yellow Dolly's are Resin 6 plus grams. Our heavier bodies 🤔 mean or chassis have to really perform, As you see 👀 my chassis are mostly all old dogs that my look good laying around but need a bone or treet to get moving. Fin |

MMPS Round 1 Eliminations
Race 1 Kstocks vs Chriskingsley65
First race of the day is a good one. The truck gets out of the hole first and puts 3 cars on the Camaro. Kstocks doesn't give him anymore though and holds through the traps.
Chris moves on .5650et to .5948et.
Race 2 Kstocks vs Jbailey
This one was a little one sided. The Challenger goes into tire shake at the hit and then smooths out to turn on the win light. Jbailey's Mustang makes a smooth pass but is down on power.
Kstocks goes to Round 2 .5473et to .7384et.
Race 3 Mazda vs Jbailey
The Knackered Nomad picks it up a bunch from Qualifying and sends the Camaro to the pits. Jbailey made a good showing but the cars were a little down on power. Mazda goes below .4.
.3842et to .8541et.
Race 4 Nosubfor3 vs Finistauri
The USAF Willys is looking sharp today but is doesn't have the power and gives up the win to the blue car. Nosub stutters off the line but his ET still improves.
.5315et to .7874et.
Race 5 Gibbo61 vs Gibbo61
Team car against Team car.....bummer. The good thing is Gibbo will be going to the 2nd Round. That's as good as I can spin it. The Olds is the stronger of the two cars but there are some funky sounds coming from the gears?? The Silverado is done for the day.
.6199et to .6585et.

MMPS Round 2 Eliminations
Race 6 Dave632 vs Chriskingsley65
Chris is going to have his hands full on this one. He's got to hope for some kind of hiccup from Dave. But it is not going down like that. The '55 is a rocketship and blisters the track to move into the Quarter Finals.
.3577et to .5795et.
Race 7 Comet vs Ecbill
Ecbill's Monte Carlo slows down slightly while Comet's Camaro gets faster. That's all it took for Comet to take the win.
.3772et to .4250et.
Race 8 Dave632 vs Kstocks
Kstocks is going up against the #2 Qualifier. It's going to be tough. Dave runs his number and it's over just that quick. The Vette is wicked fast.
.3585et vs .5273et.
Race 9 Mazda vs Alpink
This looks to be a good match up paper. The Nomad really picked it up last round. Not going to happen though. Mazda tire shakes at the hit and that's all the Vette needed. There was some crunching coming from the Vette on the launch but it still ran a solid number.
.4111et to .5583et.
Race 10 Alpink vs Nosubfor3
Nosub slows down from his last pass but it doesn't matter. That is one sinister black Corvette with bad intentions. He wicks it up and turns the win light on.
.3430et to .5705et.
Race 11 Comet vs Hairy Canary
The California Flash slows dramatically and the crew is left scratching their heads. Comet's Coupe improves from Qualifying and move to the Quarters.
.3906et to .4665et.
Race 12 GTS vs Gibbo
Whoa!! Not sure what happened to the Humgrin Wagon but it slowed by over .01?? GTS is still able to get the win light but the crew will be busy between rounds. Gibbo's Oldsmobile is done for the weekend.
.4873et to .6353et.
Race 13 Hairy Canary vs Skillet
These cars are matched up pretty well. Both run their Qualifying numbers but the Vette does it better and moves on. Skillet is headed to the RV.
.3956et to .4162et.

OK, who spilled anti freeze on the track?  Seems like all of the stuttering and skipping at the line is going on in the left lane. |

MMPS Quarter Finals
Race 14 Dave632 vs Comet
This was a close race. Comet makes another strong pass in a losing effort. Dave is back on pace and in the Semis.
.3471et/40.34mph to .3766et.
Race 15 Dave632 vs Alpink
Both cars make slower passes. Dave is the better Corvette of the two on raceday though and crosses the finish line first. Al still has a dog in the hunt.
.3713et to .4366et
Race 16 Alpink vs Comet
These two guys travelled here together. Now they meet in the Quarter Finals. Does Comet have anything for that sinister Vette? Nope....but he wasn't far off his bumper. Al is Semi bound with a track blistering record setting low ET pass.
.32.89et/50.13mph to .3968et.
Race 17 Hairy Canary vs GTS
GTS 's crew has been thrashing. Did they find the problem? Evidently not, but they now know what it was. The lights drop and the Wagon hits the rev limiter and then takes off while HC drive away. The Vette slowed down a bunch as well. The Bear Creek traction is starting to take it's toll. GTS spun the pinion gear. HC will be taking on the #2 Qualifier.
.4661et to .5688
