You weighed the lead, did you also figure the weight of the concrete and water? Cement doesn't dry, it hardens. Whatever water weight you added is still there.

Monte, the commute to your place from mine is great, country roads all the way.

I like Parkrose Hardware, they have all of the little hard to find bits and pieces.

I went home and as Chris was sick and asleep on the couch I snuck into the garage and worked on tires and chassis until 2am, I'm ready for a rematch, just after my nap.

I bought an old Bonanza frame when I was a kid for $25 and took the motor off of an old lawnmower that had been sitting in the basement for several years. I rode the wheels off of it for a couple of years then passed it down to a couple of younger cousins in California. When I was 15 I spent part of a summer at their place in Clear Lake. I found the bike in a shed out back with the centrifugal clutch burned up, so I hammered some pennies around the outside and made it direct drive. We spent the next few weeks running it on all of the back roads around the lake. I don't know what ever happened to it after that, but it was the best $25 I ever spent.

Directions would be good.

Sure, I'll come. What do you want to race?

That's great news. Al and I were running some cars on Thursday and it tripped on us several times. I swear, they were ALL legal motors.

I had put a 21.5K motor in mine thinking I would set it up for our existing GT class since at the time we didn't have a class for it. But it was never smooth enough for that class. I've put the stock Scaley motor back into it, does it ever seem pedestrian but I suppose I'll get used to it. However there is a lot less chatter under acceleration, or should I say gradually increasing speed.

I tried hard to catch them but my Pioneer motor was already giving all it had to give.

I hope he hasn't got you DQ'd before you even get there.

Just leave a spot for my Soccer Mom car, I've finally got it turning some very good laps. If it was up to just Monte there would be NO yellow cars.
