5th. picture is the results, good enough for a slot car. This car has been in racing for many yrs. and to buy a new 3 window '36 Ford is expensive if you can find one! No matter what the damage I will repair as best as I can.

For the area that the track is in if I owned it I would have to have to add the word "country" in the name somewhere. Should be interesting to see what he names it.

Bill; you got a lot of pictures of me with my hands in my pockets! Good thing that is not a picture for my resume! Dwayne has a co-worker that everyone calls "pockets" because that  is where his hands are most of the time!

That is going to be a fun track once again. Has Ron put a new name on it yet?

Bill and I went up to help Rob bolt the track together yesterday and Bill did some wiring also. That is an awesome room and great views of the nice area.

Looking good and the room really looks nice. I raced on that track once when Larry still owned it.

This new class will debut during the 2023 season at Inslot's Checkered Flag Raceway.
Should be a very fun class. I am looking forward to it.

I bought this chassis from Professor Motor several months ago. I paid about $70.00 + shipping. It turned out to be too small for what I needed. $50.00.
When Bill gets time he will post a picture.

Look what you started Bill. A 1990 Pontiac project in progress. It is going to have the style of the car pictured.

Picture coming when Bill gets the time.

Mitch; I like the Bluegroove bodies a lot also. This will probably be the last "thin" body I will do................................I probably said that before.

Bill; I "may" just change the motor to a newer style, or maybe not!! I may just see how this one runs after being in the drawer for the last 20+ yrs!

New project on my bench. I am building a car for the Flexi NASCAR class. This is an early JK chassis according to Bill that I pulled out of my chassis drawer. I think I raced it at Slot Car Central. I don't think it will do well in the races but I just wanted to bring it out of the moth balls for the hell of it. I bought a THIN Lexan body that is so flexible ( must be about .002" thick ) I have a hard time even holding it! Pictures will show up when my friend Bill puts them on here. The second picture is of my chassis drawer.

I spent some time in the pits also, not any way near what you did. If there is any kind of weakness in a car, Springwater Raceway will find it!! It is a fun track though.
