That is about 2 1/2 or so hrs. away. We have a couple guys who come down from the Seattle area for the big races. I would think that Sam's drive would be a lot more enjoyable with the scenery etc.

Thanks Bill. This repair looks good in the picture, but in person it is not that good looking of a body repair, but after all it is a slot car going into battle again.

4th. picture is the Glazing putty added.

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.

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.
