Pretty basic build, It was really a test for the weathering technique in a how-to Clay Kemp did.

 James2;

  I like the build a lot, but would dial back the dirt about a click and a half. With weathering less gives better contrast.

Weathering.......... that's something that scares me.  :-\
You did a great job on this one, James.
Need to run it by the quarter car wash.  ::)

This is fantastic......looks like the track crew needed to drop a few more gallons of H2O on the clay though  :)
My worst day of building STILL beats my best day at work !!

Nice technique work James. The rain delay must have led to a huge night at the concession stand and after the shower passed and the greasy track got run in a little, I imagine it was good racing on a tacky-fast track!
I appreciate people that actually build and post models.

Man James...you nailed it on the dirt. The car looks like it just pitted after HOT laps during the PACK'n process. Orrr...maybe at the end of a heat race... I've seen a lot of cars that were Dirtier.
