Derby Talk

I believe this is what Speedster is referring to: Recent press about The West Coast Grand Prix Interview on HMONG USA TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThB5qaTcIfI&t=265s Electronic Version of today's newspaper https://hanfordsentinel.com/community/grand-prix-brings-boxcar-races-to-rjjh/article_0cf...

Doing my best to create some lasting positive memories.

The perpetual trophy is done. Who will enter in an effort to be one of the first to be placed on this beauty? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200220/0d1122767977198975fa90d6687aa1b1.jpg The custom, division specific, super cool trophies are almost done as well.

Stopped by a local junior high, in a different school district and asked if they planned on participating in http://www.TheWestCoastGrandPrix.com I gat an immediate, "No - it's too expensive. I said what do you mean> Woodshop teacher sai well we don't have money to buy the kits. I said wait you don'...

Speedster I have come up with a geometric design. It is all straight cuts. But, I'm going to add fenders. Whodathunkit is putting fenders on one of his. Not sure, scientifically, if they area advantageous weight vs speed on the thinner wheels, but, I don't want to get beat by a fendered car and wond...

Not sure if you are talking about students or my girls. I know I have been looking for some two stripe Charcoal Grey Metallic. Do you have any silver metallic or chrome? Vanessa Red then Teal Jennifer Purple then turquoise Of course they both like pink. Wait till you see Jennifer's 2020 MA car. Red ...

Guess I'll have to build a Vintage car using straight cuts.

You don't sand? - LOL

As to axles, what if I use Scout axles, but do all the things a stainless axle has? I've done it. I've also done it on MV axles. We have literally built Awana and Scout cars from all components out of the box and beat our own cars with paid axles and wheels. I've also spent time with the girls and o...

I would say more Scouts use the rules out of the box then anything else. Wheel profile is different at MA because they allow all Official BSA wheels. If someone spends the time and hunts down wheels from the 80's there is no lettering on the side. So one could alter the wheel profile for less fronta...

I have repeatedly asked Council for support. Even doing a flag ceremony would be nice. So far, nothing. There is absolutely no reason why Scouts cannot participate under existing rules. This race is designed to be a lead into Mid America. And, we are running Mid America rules. Mid America runs more ...

Speedster The rules a couple months and the builds have been started and maybe even completed. All I did was improve the experience of the site. You can view the original at https://sites.google.com/site/rjjhwoodshop/news/anotherpost I've had rules changed on me after car was shipped, but before the...

Rafer Johnson Junior High School in Kingsburg, CA is the host school. Abraham Lincoln Middle School in Selma, CA is participating. That means ove...
