More Bondo................

Completed the braid recess this morning. DONE with the router and Roto Zip! What a freaking mess! If there is anything messier that routing wood I sure don't know what it is!

Thanks for the positive feedback guys! I've spent a great deal of time thinking and planning for this renovation. This track has a lot of history and is important to our slot racing community. I do not take cutting up and changing anything on this track lightly!

Doc, I really think you need to get to work on that track!.............Funny stuff though...........Thanks!

Thanks for posting Doc, it is September already and time to open up some dialog regarding the NASTE 2021 season. The annual Halloween race is on the calendar, but that's it so far.

I'm not sure when everyone would like to get some racing scheduled, and I know there are still concerns over the COVID 19 stuff. I have attended a few races during this COVID 19 issue and have not experienced any problems. The races I have attended were attended by fewer than 20 racers and everyone was being cautious to some degree. The basic rule has been if you don't feel well, don't come.

As far as classes to race for the point series, I am open to any suggestions as I have no preferences. The schedule is open for discussion also in regards to tracks interested in hosting races, scheduling for Odd Thursday Night racing, Saturday races, or any other ideas.

This morning's work consisted of sanding the Bondo in the joints and screw holes I applied yesterday. I broke down and pulled out my small orbital sander, I had always completed this step with a sanding block by hand. This morning I decided I'm too old for that crap! I really should've gotten smarter sooner! I still have a second finish coat of Bondo to lay down but I may go ahead and get some of the router work done first.

You're welocme Rico. The real thanks goes to Howie for doing everything to make this happen!

Thanks Howie!

Yes. That was a few years ago.

I wanna go with a controller in my hand!

Pretty corny Doc! I remember those safety videos! The ones I remember involved FIRE and EXPLOSIONS! We always viewed them as a challenge!

Hey Doc, if Home Depot doesn't have what you're looking for go to Shur-Way Lumber on St. Johns. I made two trips to Home Depot for something they didn't have but Shur-Way did have it. Their prices are comparable and they load it for you!

You're absolutely right Chris! I have already removed all the existing shims from the straight section exiting the bank (the track is just hanging there unsupported. It is twisted from being screwed into place for so long). The end of that straight will be screwed down flat at a slightly elevated position above the tabletop to meet up with the new straight that leads into the hairpin. Same old scenario....change this and you screw up that!............
