Check it out. Every couple of weeks we go out and race. The car is called a mini cup and is a 1:10 scale style NASCAR. Any of you living in the midwest and go to the local track have probably seen these. They average about 70mph and run small single cylinder Honda motors that are usually used for generators or pressure washers. While they dont go very fast compared to other cars, if there enough cars out there they are by far the most fun to watch. The car in the pic is the one my brother drives my dad and I are the pit crew. Just some cool stuff I thought you guys might like.
so 1:10 scale of nascar. got any pics of someone standing next to it, so we have a better idea of scale? is this remote controlled? or is there someone actually in the car???

Ill take one in my garage with a chair next to it or something. Yes there is a person driving it you actually lay down to drive. Your feet are under the hood and the motor is in the trunk. You wouldnt think it but there is a ton of tuning that goes into the cars still.

Quite honestly thats all that will fit. But the rules are so regulated with the internals of the motor we cant do a whole lot.
