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.

Very fun day of racing yesterday Bill, thanks for hosting.

Mitch, I have learned over the years not to "scavenge" parts, park it and leave it alone and it will pretty much be ready to go next time. I hope you will get it going before the race, the more the merrier.

Looking forward to the race and having a good time.

Yea Bill; I spent 3hrs. this morning going over issues: guide flag, guide tongue, front axle, new front tires. I am not using that as an excuse, just some stuff I should have checked way before the race!! At least it should handle better, now I need to fire and hire another driver!!

Points for the 2022 season.

Ok, the NASTRUCK is going to Doc. Thanks Doc. Hope you enjoy it.

Rico, if you want, you can bring the car over and solder that pinion on and it will not come loose again.
It is really hard to put enough effort in soldering a pinion on while racing, just too much in a hurry to get back in the race!
