drag racing at 1:64 scale
one great thing about living in austin, if you grow up, it's your own damn fault.
every once in a while, people get together to race cars, at 1:64 scale. and maybe enjoy some pub grub and proper beers at the dog and duck pub.
vintage vans were represented by carl
carl let kat have access to some of the cars he wasn't racing. she did some test runs to pick two. then they entered the grid for competetive runs.
and kat was on a winning streak. you can see above, she was hooked.
you can see the two pics above, and the one below, the competetive stance and intense concentration.
carl ended second overall and kat came in third but everybody had a good time.
of course there were lots of cool 1:1 scale cars as well. love that classic 50's rear style (above). you could easily mistake the car below as classic american design from the 50's, it's actually a volvo 122S, and this guy installed air bags in his. I was highly amused when he pulled up and I saw it drop the ground. good stuff!
