Yes, the soup was excellent.

A big Thank You! to Monte and Victoria for hosting such wonderful gatherings.

I would like some suggestions with regards to the design of a steel chassis. I'm thinking of a fixed rear axle mount that is attached to the base. Should the axle just spin inside some tubing or should there be room for bearings? The front axle mount will be attached to the guide flag post and will be in a sliding mount so it can be adjusted for different wheel bases. The width will be wide enough to hold a Mabuchi style motor in sidewinder fashion (not sure about how to mount it. What would be the best method of securing the body to the chassis?

Thanks!

Scored, no. But I can have small dots 'etched' in to show the fold line. A hand brake would probably work better than the big hydraulic one we have here for thin steel.

@Bill: The alignment in CAD is not the problem. Once the laser cuts it it will be fine. It's the accuracy of the brake (break?) press operator that controls the alignment. We're a machine manufacturer for heavy machinery, not an instrument maker so our bends don't matter to the mm.

@Monte: You can design too. Check out Alibre Design (www.alibre.com) for their hobby version of the software. It can do solids just fine.

Thank you, and thank you....

For the hospitality of Monte and Victoria, for the compliments on the chili, for the congratulations on winning, for letting me use the awesome Mosler car, and for being very patient with my two boys. We all had a fun filled afternoon.

Thank you all...

Perhaps some strips of Saran Wrap would fit between the two cars in the picture. ;-)

Perhaps, but this would be quite the undertaking, the solution is to raise the straight-away a couple inches and add an apron to the corner underneath the dead strip that allows the car in the blue lane to swing out under the straight-away.

Quite the undertaking.

Should we place a group order?

Thanks Bill!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Here's a picture....

Didn't we agree on IndyGrips for the Fly Classics? I thought IndyGrips are silicone. Or are they urethane? There's too much sh@#$%^&t out there that I can't keep track (get it, track?).

I planning to be there as much as I can with Sean.
