Ive Looked At All Of The Members Rides And Im Jealous!!!!! I Was Just Wonering How Is It That You Guys Can Find All The Deals. Im Into DragRacing Big Time Full Scale. Tried To Get Into The 1/10th Scales But To No Availe Noone Wanted To Drag. Im Not Into NASCAR( Not Knocking it Was Into It When SR.Was Alive). But Ive Always Loved Dragracing. How CanI Find Deals Like That?

They run 1/10 in Houston and San Antonio.

The deals.. well.. Ebay, Craigslist, burnt down hobby stores , and word of mouth. Oh yeah, being a member here!

I Know About the ones in san antonio and houston. I Live In Longview Texas And Trying To Get The Local Hobby Owner To Get His 1/4 Scale Funny Car Out Of The Showcase And Come Drag Race . Trying To Get More People To Get Started In It Also. Just Needed Some Kind Of Input On What To Do. I Just Wanted To Try And Get Us On The Map Of Quarter Scale.

sounds like you first need to get or build a 1/4 scale drag car. get your hobby shop buddy geek-ed up to run his car go to a 1/10 drag get the other people checking them out and run them..

there are tons of people that dont even know about 1/4 scale when they see one they will want one..

i bet you can even bring it to a full size drag and im sure they will love them also.. thats a start on getting them exposed in your area..

good luck jason

Yeah, most of the time, the tenth-scale guys will let you run as long as you can show you have good control of the car (so as to not take out their expensive timing photocells). You might get in touch with Kip Scharf in San Antonio and ask him, he's the race director there.

The Q-scale cars generally like the clean, semi-sticky tenth scale 132-ft tracks (they run really great on sugar-water treated tracks like Paul's in Minnesota). Lanes feel a tad narrow sometimes, though... so stay up on the wheel, don't blink, and LIFT if the car even feels like it's going to make a weird move.

I've also run my car at a real drag strip ( a couple of times) but the track was super-VHT'd sticky and it just over-stuck the rear tires and it REALLY bogged the car down, you could hear it just slipping back through the clutch, it never really got going at all.

Im Having Problems Finding Tube Frames For Deminsions On Mine . Ive Been Working On Mine For 6 Months Now And It Looks Like Some One Hit It With An 18 Wheeler. Can Anyone Help Me !!!!! Thanks For The Input

you will need to copy a full size car or a model and do some math...

Hey Dragracer, The track in Houston "Gulf Coast RC Drag Racing" will let you run your Q/S car as much as you want. I've ran there a few times with my funnycar.

how can i get the blueprint for the funnycar / prostock frame . with the economy the way it is i really can afford to buy any thing expensive. the frame i am building is all made from tubing from my job ( all stainless , 1/4 inch). is there a place i can get this free?

ther are no free plans. and no one will give them to you.. many have asked none have go them

i have been a member scene 2006 and i cant get any...

like i said take a 1/24 1/25 model. and measure it out x it by 25 or 25 depending on what scale and then divide by 4 and you'll be real close..

Thanks For The Input Bro. Will Use this Knowlege To The Best of My Ability .

then you will get something like this and you will have to fudge a couple of #'s to get it to look right.. maybe

I've been through this...Your best bet is to find a 1/16 scale model and simply scale it up x4 or 5. You can still find them on ebay.....

I actualy have just recently purchaced the car from the hobby shop owner in Longview. He said it was an M.K. Engineering car with a Solo 52 cc engine and a Skellenger quick change rear end. I need info on how to mount the New Era parachute and make it functional. Any help will be appreciated.......Thanks
