Races are currently under way, best of two attempts will be used for official times. Disputes can be taken up with the commissars.
Uri can beam with pride that his cousin(s) are duking it out.
15 cousins, some twice removed
And some removed forcibly. While restrained. In a straight jacket.
Not to mention, some removed from their homes and sent to Gulag… hehe.
To start I am going to list who won the bonus points:
For both lightest car AND highest MPG fuel economy: Necroassasin with his 1989 Comrade Clunker - Ne with 161hp, weighting in at only 1764.9lbs. The Ne was nearly 30% lighter then the heaviest competitor. With fuel mileage coming in at 33 miles per Gallon (US) this car is both fast, light and easy on the wallet.
With both of the accolades the NE will get 2 points put towards its final score.
Coming in with the lowest hp out put is HighOctaneLoves - 1989 Comrade Clunker -HighOctaneLove. With 132hp coming out of the stock, government issue motor supplied with the clunker, this car was built with a very limited budget and realistic goal. The total car costs were less then $4000.00 being 20% cheaper then most of the competition.
HighOctaneLove will have 1 point put towards their final score
For highest hp rating, strops’ 1989 Comrade Clunker - Comrade Crusher delivers 409 hp out of a fuel injected v8 that was somehow shoe-horned into the poor clunkers engine bay. With 409 hp and 2134.3lbs to scoot across the pavement the car has an outstanding power to weight ration of almost 5lbs per hp. very decadent indeed.
1 point will be put towards strops overall score
For having the quietest car VicVictory’s - 1989 Comrade Clunker - URX -2 had a loudness rating of 29.2, a mere whisper, which surely no commissar will ever detect from a watchtower.
VicVictory will have 1 point put towards his total score
Do I get any points for having the lightest, most economical, most powerful, quietest and least powerful I6 entered? 
you get a cookie, knowing you were the only I6 entered 
Sweet

Before anyone think’s I discriminated by colour, I didn’t know until putting the photos together that the three winners were red cars. I am by no means ‘pro red’ or anti blue/yellow :-p
Woo! Got an award for SOMETHING finally. Being silent like the bowels of the Gulag works for me.
Wow, I actually won!? I was expecting to be behind a few of the V8s at the low end of the points at best. Thanks for the awesome competition np1993, the communist dictator theme was just perfect.
Unless there are any other races involving the clunker, or very very similar cars, in the near future I will happily upload the Comrade Stalker for everyone to have a look at.
I, being a fan of polls will post a survey monkey in a while to see if the people want another race, perhaps after Christmas!
I really liked this formula of taking a car and tuning it with strict and yet free rules. Shame that our car was second though. But hey, it is a podium finish
And there might be a competition of mine coming on the near future, stay tuned!
Eh, could’ve gone better, but I’m still happy; it was fun to mess about with the Clunkers. I’m definitely up for another race in the future, whenever that may b
Were you rounding or did conan and I really manage identical laps?
let me double check my excel doc
the tenths of a second of a couple of the race results got mixed up, I corrected the post. There was no difference in the standings. I apologize for any confusion.
Here is the survey monkey poll for everybody to take, feel free to comment in the comment box
