Re: October COTM **Voting**
This month was easy for me. All these cars are BA but as an autoX/road racer I had to go with big mods. His car has been an inspiration to me.

Re: October COTM **Voting**
thanks Plum! And thanks for the nominations everyone else!
I built my car with 2 main purposes in mind:
A) be able to kick a$$ on the road course
B) be able to street drive and turn some heads
I think I've done pretty well on both accounts so far.
Here are some track vids.
Mid Ohio yesterday: Grattan over labor day weekend: Gingerman in July: Here is some abuse of some Japanese cars (this really isn't fair :-) ) Fast forward to the 5:00 mark: Here is some fun on track with some much faster cars:
Each time I go to the track I get faster due impart to A) driver improvements and B) Tuning and mods that I continue to make. It really is a thrill, if you haven't been to an open track event you should add it to your bucket list.
In 2012 1MeanZ and I drove this car on the Hot Rod Power Tour. I got lucky and HRM saw my car and liked it enough to do a feature on it!
http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicl...aro_third_gen/ Probably the biggest honor in my life!
Here are some of their pic:










Jerico 4 speed,, spur gears and dog rings
Cluchless is OK! Grip and Rip! Watch the videos for the sound!

Man there is a huge amount of participation this month in the voting! Guess that's what happens when you get 7 of the best for a head to head!
Couple of these cars I'm surprised don't have some more votes. Keep it up everyone!

Re: October COTM **Voting**
I went with Orr, may not be the fastest or the cleanest but he proved that anyone can build a monster on a reasonable budget. Plus, he's one of the most helpful people on this forum. I see his posts pop up everywhere.
Keep up the good work guys!

Mw66nova's got my vote. A sweet race car that was very cleanly built, and a lot of work has gone into. He is also a very helpful dude and very knowledgeable.

Re: October COTM **Voting**
Combining 1 road race car with a few drag cars makes for an interesting poll.
Since more here relate to drag racing those cars are getting more of the votes.
Mb since there are 4 drag cars the drag race vote has been spread out where the road race crowd only has one dog in the fight.

Re: October COTM **Voting**
I have to be honest I Voted for Matt's car for a variety of reasons, Mostly because He does so much for our community (3rd gen), but also because it's truly a well built car. If He had not been nominated, Big Mods would definitely have gotten my vote. His car is quite impressive to say the least.
