Getting ready to make more tire molds!

Anybody got any Carrera F1 cars that I could borrow a pair of rear tires off of to make a mold? Standard deal, you get the originals plus two pair of urethanes back.

Thanks!    ========Bill

The "Over 50's" would be fun on Howie's track but their short comings would definitely show up there! The only other downside would be the resulting damage. With that said Larry Cockerham came up with a simple modification that improved the handling of the "classic" style stamped drop arm type chassis dramatically!

What about track prep, should we clean the surface off completely?

What car set up specs? Weight kit?

.....Uh......been there done that Doc!!!!!!

This is the "Chase" bike Dave Smith donated to the gravity racer project. Since Dave stopped by the shop the first time and dropped off the bike, Chris and I have been able to "set the hook" and Dave is now in the process of building his own gravity racer! Thanks for the scooter Dave, and welcome to the madness!

This is the Mark II before work started on Wednesday Jamuary the 26th.

This is the rear portion of the Mark II after the sub structure was added for the rear bodywork, and the re-inforcement for the tow hook.

With the additional heat the nose piece cured out nicely!

Chris seemed pretty happy with the nose cone results!

Chris applied fiberglass resin directly over the blanket, being sure to keep the blanket tightly stretched over th frame work.

Lamps were used over the resin work and a small electric heater was placed under to warm things up as the shop was pretty cold!

On track racing action.

The race room was full!

Here's some photos from last night's race:

Chris & Jeff in the remodelled portion of the basement and location for the new track.

In my opinion, the third best dog in the world (only because he's not mine), Bigsby!

Great photos Beau! Thanks for posting!
