Are you going to put up speed bumps for more confusion for this trigger finger guy?

Project Classic NASCAR continues. Beings I am going to make Bob's Classic NASCAR race in Sept. I better finish this car. It needs all the running gear from motor to guide flag. I will have to get this car on the track and see if I can get it to run ok as it has the BIG true scale size tires/wheels! At any rate it should be a fun car. I thought I had a picture of the chassis, guess not. I will send Bill a picture to add to this page. I made the motor mount out of aluminum when I still had access to a mill at work.

Bill will install a picture when he gets time. Thanks Bill.

Thanks to all who participated in this special event. Beau's two cousins ( Barry Smith and wife Brenda and Phil Perdue, alias: Bar Dog ) came up from California and Beau's sister ( Harmony and husband Michael Breen ) came over from Long Beach, Washington. Harmony and Michael provided the pizza, thus no entry fees for this event. It was truly a fun event! Phil Perdue provided the special 1st. place trophy that Zack is holding on the podium. Pictures coming as soon as Bill finds the time.

Thank you to all who took part in this yrs. points series.

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!

Finally did a test run with the finished Firebird at Springwater raceway on 3-26-'23. Need to fine tune it.

Gee, the first mistake I have ever made!!!! Thanks for keeping track Monte.
