Hemi Hurricane - HO drag racing slot car

(www.frhoracing.com) I built this Willys to enter into a concours judged class - it won first place. Go figure! Not bad for my first ever concours entry. Amazingly the car runs the quarter mile pretty well too!

Bunky Bobo (the owner) is standing behind me. He and his friend (Ronnie Winn, my dad) love the video. Bunky is tickled to death! Great job. They love it and I do too.

Hey - that is awesome! Since I was a kid my favorite drag cars were vintage 392 hemi rail cars & Willy's as both of them a handful to drive. Bunky's car was one of the coolest around. Just love that car.  I'm so glad he decided to restore it as that is what inspired me to build this scale model car.

HOW FAST??

[L8RAlligator]

This car wasn't built for speed but for looks. All it had to do for the judging was power itself down the track. There are some others that go 30 mph or so at .7

Nice job. I love the detail. I have a few home made cars as well. I would love to enter. Where are the contests and when?

I'm no pro at ho scale but am at full.... that was sweet! My fav year willys and it seemed to haul the freight. The detail was great. I think that must be so tedious to work on such small of a body. How do you paint? Airbrush or freehand of some sort? Nice vid

[MADDD0GGG]

Awesome details, I remember building ‘Riggins’ cars from kits back in the 70’s... You bring back lots of memories... Thank you!
