Back to the Classic NASCAR project. I am using a Hanna chassis #104 that has been in a LOT of races. I am installing Indy car Pro Slot rear tires for the front as they are a 1/8th. axle as the rules say 1/8th. axles only. I will trim down the tires to about .900" on the tire truer, rules say .850 minimum diameter. I will cut them to .500" width that the rules call for. I will have to cut the front axle housing  by .140" on each end to get down the the maximum tracking, which is 3.250". Also the pans will have to be trimmed to make room for the tires after the axle cut.

Picture coming as soon as Bill has time.

Doc; I have to send Bill the pictures and he installs them on the site. I thought I sent them to him this morning, but I just realized ( at about 4pm ) that I forgot to send them! First mistake I ever made in my life!

Sorry you missed it Bill. It was, as usual a lot of fun. It was pretty tight quarters with Beau's stuff on two benches but we managed. Thanks for lending me your two benches.

I like the later hours. It gives the guys that are still working time to get to the track, race and have a good time and still get home at a decent hour. I also like the optional dinner thing. I used to race at Slot Car Central every Wed. night while working a steady job and I really liked it as it broke up the week with some fun racing.
