....although a while back it did seem that the MCCH community reached a mutual decision never to discuss banger racing again after what happened....still, I like their acceptance of the fact that all the cars were too far gone to restore

I suppose people are bidding so they can restore the truck into a proper transporter......

As you guys may know I recently drove down to Kentucky, computer in tow.

We have another Yank convert. What I didn't expect was that we'd spend hours playing "Seduction of Destruction" when all I had in mind was just showing him the game to see if he was interested in it. Is there a way to set this game up multi-player online? If so, I think we'll soon have enough players for an American League. ;)

Hopefully he'll register here in the near future.

On a related note, he is now part of the RADAR (Truck) league. I gave him two and told him to go wild. I have no idea what he's got planned for them... muhahahahaha.

I think some people were trying to work on an online SOD patch, so the online would work, it'd be awesome to play real people, not the terrible AI - did you show him any banger racing videos?

Yup! I also showed him Tim & Alex's site, and our banger models here. We did have fun competing to see who could create the best lawn sculptures out of the AI cars. ;) We had some good ones!

As it seems most UK Classics car fanatics are against bangers, is it the same problem with derbies in the USA?? Although I heard the cars used in demolition derbies are not popular with enthausiasts :unsure: .....

I've heard of some interesting iron getting used in demolition derbies too. One in particular stands out: On one televised demo derby about ten years ago (on TNN Motor Madness maybe?) one of the drivers had a '63 Galaxie coupe. He had been desperate for a car and was driving around looking for cars, and found this one parked in a garage that had the door open. It had well under 100,000 miles on it (I think it was 70,000ish?), was one-owner (little old lady, of course), garage kept, and up until three days prior to the event was still on the road.

There was a former demo derby driver on Hobby Talk who talked about a guy who had a well-rotted '66 Dodge Charger in a derby he was in (circa early '90s). He also laid a nice sized hit on it with his own car.
