Wow Bob; you must have really put in some time getting the track together! I was waiting for the call to set up another work party to finish it and then I see this, great job Bob! It is a beauty. It looks like it just fits the room nicely.

Mitch I am glad you could make it to the race, more importantly I am VERY glad you made it as well as you did with the stroke!

After the race I checked the motor, the wire broke loose again! Not only that, the motor was VERY tired to begin with! I will be replacing that motor and probably build a new chassis as that one is a bolt together one that I will use for another class.

Take care Mitch.

Ok, here is the story on the motor: I was too low for tech, so I raised the car up to pass tech and never checked the gears, and that caused the gears to tighten up too much consequently burning up the motor which put on quite show of smoke!

BTW: I have never rewound a motor in my life!

I still had a lot of fun and that is the bottom line to me!

Here is an idea that I just thought of as I was reading this: If you choose natural rubber like we use on our cars for the Sportsman/Econo or NASCAR etc., then I will buy them from you at a reduced price ( to be determined between us ) and I can true them up and can use them for practice or pass them on at the price I paid you for them. No storage worries.

If you or I order the tires from John Gill the price will be cheaper than retail.

Just a thought.

The project Dodge NASCAR is far from done and it is sitting on a NASTRUCK chassis. But it is picture worthy.

These cars are a piece of cake to put together ( I did 5 of them ) as the chassis, axles, tires are already together. The time consuming part is mounting the wing, painting and installing the decals which to me is the most fun!

I think if your axle gear would not have loosened, you may have taken the Gold! I had your back though!, which means I didn't have a prayer to keep up!! You and that car go together quite well!!
