The newest drag racer gears up!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

SOOoooooo.... Amanda says that she would like to race, but must have a pink car. Of course, like any well meaning Dad, that makes me start looking around for a Jr Dragster. There is a decent Halfscale car for sale at our local track, but I figure that we can peruse the 'For Sale' lot at the ECF's in Bristol, TN to see what pops up - and maybe get a good deal on a roller.

This car was there early in the week, and was a super clean car - exactly what I was looking for, but I hadn't heard much about the chassis company known as Mx2. The paint was beautiful, and had silver ghost flames that were done perfectly. I sent a pic to Amanda (who was relaxing on the beach) and she turned it down because it wasn't pink. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] I still wanted to buy this car after meeting the chassis builder and the owner in the pits, and learning a lot more about these Mx2 cars. They are really well made from a smaller outfit in Topeka, KS, and therefore don't migrate out to the east coast very often - but I really liked it. The seller came around later in the week to give me first dibs on the car, I offered all the $$ I had - but we were too far apart, and I had to let it go. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]



Not a scratch on this car, came with an Mx2 clutch, the 10&quot; wide rear wheels, weight bars, very nice seat pad.... a truly nice car for the asking price (great seller too, very nice family from KS).



This mint green car has a twin that the younger sister drives - and it's pink, but not for sale:



Overall, there were easily 20+ cars there for sale, many were older rollers which is what we were looking for but we didn't come home with one. We would really prefer another Halfscale car, and so we parked Ben's car next to this one that is for sale at our track - and we might just try to cut a deal on this one later this year if we can get it as a roller.





This car will need a minor chassis upgrade (helmet bars) and a paint job(silver metallic chassis and 'bubble gum' pink body with silver metallic graphics), but that is all stuff I can do myself - and I just might draft Amanda's help [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

These Jr's can get expensive, and are absolutely frustrating to figure out &amp; tune - but you get what you pay for and I feel as though I'm ahead of the game because I wouldn't trade the time &amp; experience for anything! As always, if you are curious about getting into one just let me or Jeff Morroco know. Amanda won't turn 8 until next July and I plan to have her car ready by April '13, might just need a shoe for this car until July! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
