Wow!!! No holding back this month... some real bomb shells. I love it!

Poll is now up. Sorry for the delay. I was hoping to get it set up this morning before heading to the Vonats but ran out of time.

That was agony but in the end I love real race car livery's and that Gallop in the JPS Lotus colours is stunning , really feel terrible about only having one vote !

Yeah that’s a tough vote

First time I'm actually in a tie with Jim - I'm a proud man today

Do we get something for last place? I'm surprised my entry didn't get any votes. Its one of my favorites

In another month you'd probably score highly but this month ... Well I'm glad I didn't enter anyway !

It's a crapshoot sometimes. Hard to know what is gonna catch people's eye.

9 times out of 10, for me, I'm gonna go with something fully outfitted with electrics as opposed to a roller. Unless the roller is way, way better than the best complete car.

I would generally agree with that scr8p, although I absolutely hate seeing modern electronics in vintage cars. I just cannot get past how they look when compared to the period-correct stuff. I totally love the TRX-1 posted up here

I have run the Coyote and a few other cars recently and admittedly went with modern electrics, albeit with brushed motors, and I think in future I will be sticking with old school.

Same goes for modern tyres for me. I ran 2 cars on Astro over the summer, and tried modern Blocks on one, and these vintage Schumacher minispikes on the Coyote, and both worked great, so in future I will be stockpiling the vintage minispikes whenever I see them come up for sale.

Some absolute crackers on show here though - tough month!

+2 , I'm a big fan of running cars , a bare chassis is very tidy but seeing a really tidy full install is better , I'm lousy at getting my wiring tidy so seeing it done well gives me a target to aim for .

I’m surprised too, I was debating between yours and the one I ended up voting for, maybe yours was everyone’s 2nd choice

Just a few hours to go, no suspense at the front, but I'm crushing Jim and even coming close to David, ha!!!!

I’ve been losing every time I entered the contest with this crap MIP custom sand rail...

Congrats on the win Hcp22!

Excellent entries! Super great month! Thanks for the votes!! Congratulations Lars! Nice Gallop MKII. You definitely galloped away with the win.
