+fly46 Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Actually, I have a diecast of Fireball Roberts. What's it worth to you? Racing Champions made at least one. I think I have one in the box of cars I used to play with. If not, I know that dad has extras at his store. He's good for very little outside of diecast, but this is why we keep him around. I'm going home and will check Friday if you need me to, and then we can work something out. Quote Link to comment

+CacheSafari Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Well, Jeremy #12 started his trek from TX to TN yesterday. Be on the lookout. Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 I'll add Terry and Richard to the list of taken drivers. I'll check for that car when I go home this weekend. (Making a note of it!) I'll be on the lookout for the bugs. If it doesn't get here in tomorrow's mail, though, I will not get it until Tuesday, since I'll be gone. Y'all will probably still be hearing from me, but I'll not be able to get my mail from 700 miles away. Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 Well, Jimmie's here, safe and sound. I can hear him revving his engine from where I sit now. I think that I'll play with the website a bit more tonight. Not much I need to add right now in the way of anything, just two driver's names, but now that I have it functional, I want to make it pretty. lol. Quote Link to comment
+Eric K Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Do you have a link to the webpage? I think you may have sent something to me but I've been out of town for a few weeks. I would like to add your race to the Travelbug Races and games website. Thanks Eric K Quote Link to comment

frankfx Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 How long does it take to TBs in. Can i attach a TB to a Tony Stewart keychain I got at the Atlanta race or does it have to be a car? Frankfx Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted December 26, 2004 Author Share Posted December 26, 2004 A keychain is fine. It doesn't have to be diecast. Photos, trading cards, etc... are fine. Quote Link to comment

+fly46 Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 (edited) Just updated the website again and announced another award. I've also created the account for the travel bug race. The bugs will be logged into this account february 1. The same day I log them into the race, I will announce the caches for the race on the website and here in this thread.

MapheadMike Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I decided to have three drivers. Add Dick Trickle (it's the only Junie Donlevay car I could find). I'll pick the third driver later. Quote Link to comment

+Honest John & Suzies Jule Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Ok fly46, my bugs arrived. I'm just waiting for the Wife"s #97 1/64 diecast to get here in the mail, and was told 2 - 3 more days. Then all 3 entry's, plus the check is in the mail to you. Dale Sr is ready... One question, I just received my Travel Bug's. You might have gone over this before,? Just need the facts! you know, to be double sure! Ok the question: Do I log the new TB's I just received, or do you in Daytona? Thanks. Quote Link to comment

+fly46 Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 #1. Activate your bug! #2. Mail it to me with the entry fee and form. Don't worry about logging it into anywhere. I'll do all the logging into things. Quote Link to comment
+Honest John & Suzies Jule Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Thanks fly, I was just worried about who had to enter the activation code. So it's me, and I do not have to send you the plastic wrapper with the activation code on it. GOT IT ... sorry for all the bugging! Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 Don't worry. I'd rather you asked and did it right than didn't ask and did it wrong.

+CacheSafari Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Great, I was getting a little concerned. I guess it didn't pay to mail priority class when it takes 8 days to get from Dallas to Nashville! Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 I don't know if it got there while I was gone or not.. The postal guy is a dork and he has this issue with taking packages that weren't picked up in the office and trying to either shove them in the mailbox or re-deliver them at your door if you don't get into the office when it's open. I had a note monday saying I had a package, and I haven't checked in the office to see if it's still there or not, so theoretically it could have arrived while I was in ohio and he decided to shove so much crap in my box I almost couldn't get the stuff out, so it could have been because of that.

+CacheSafari Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 When I check the tracking, it said it arrived at the Nashville facility yesterday, 12/28. I guess it doesn't matter, as long as it arrived safely and before the deadline. Quote Link to comment
+Honest John & Suzies Jule Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 OK fly46, we are ready to go! Bugs are registered, attached to their items, and they will be in the mail to you, looks like Monday the 3rd now. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Oh... It was horrible... Horrible I tell ya! Harry Gant went off to spit his Skoal, and Jeff Burton and Elliott Sadler got into a fight about who was a better driver. When I opened the package, all Jeff Burton had proved was he was fairly mean in a fight and poor Elliott Sadler (who looks more like a cross between Matt Kenseth and Kurt Bush) is standing proudly.... with his head on the floor. *so* Out will come the crafter's tool kit, and I'll re-attatch his bobbly head (though it won't bobble anymore), and put it in a baggie - just in case. Jeff has been put on probation until the off - season is over. If he gets in any more fights, I'll dock him 25 driver points. Seriously, though... Your bugs arrived and are 95% perfectly fine. lol. *flies away mumbling something about 'Hermie, maybe, but not Elliott.....'* Quote Link to comment
+In Search Of Faeries Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 (edited) I can not believe someone stole my driver...I positively worship Rusty Wallace, and someone snatched him Ok, I'm done whining, and I am claiming my second favorite driver Kevin Harvick. I have to order my bug tag, and find the actual bug I want to use, but you will have it long before February. Super cool Idea!!! I love Nascar!

+fly46 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 (edited) There is Kenny and Mike, you know. Adding Kevin Harvick to the list. Edited to add: Broke out the new crafter's tool kit and Elliott Sadler's head is now re-attatched. There will be no bobble, but at least it's not on the floor.

Ca Racetramp Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 If I can get a couple more TB tags in time (and -harder-find appropriate hitchhikers) I want to add Kasey Kahne and Edward Glenn "Fireball" Roberts to the race. Let's see how the old timers stack up to the "young guns"! For those who have never heard of Fireball Roberts follow this link: http://www.nascar.com/2002/kyn/history/dri...02/02/froberts/ This one may be a laminated card, since Revell and Action didn't do diecast in the 50s and 60s. Go to ebay and search for Fireball Roberts. I just checked. YOu can get a 1/64 by Racing Champions. I have one in my archives already. Quote Link to comment
Ca Racetramp Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I just want to let everyone know that my Official Driver for the 2005 Nascar TB Race will be retired California driver Ernie Irvan. I will post a picture tomorrow of his "Race Bug". Quote Link to comment

Ca Racetramp Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Here is what happened when I tried to drill thru the trunk of a Racing Champions Ernie Irvan car. As they say in NASCAR, it just "done blowed up". I would suggest putting the chain thru the window. Quote Link to comment

Yes, as I understand it, once you call a driver they are yours, and unavailable to anyone else. As far as who you tell, you just post your driver choice in this thread. Hope that helps.
