Nice cars!

Helping others to help their boys will always pay off.

Congrats on getting the track together and running. It's a LOT of work. The hassles described here are why I do NOT recommend a Best Track for places that have to set-up, take down, set-up etc... It's fine if you just set it up one time, perfectly, and leave it there. People that don't take extreme ...

Congrats!
See you guys at District... if they find enough volunteers!

When your workshop season ends, it would be interesting to see the number of hours you've donated. I was just curious to see how addicted we've all become. Did you want the total number of hours for this season or back to 1985? I'll do my best. Cheers Bill I had thought just this season. Mainly bec...

If NOT allowed to lighten your wheels, you're going to be in trouble.
BSA wheels and axles weight about .5oz.

Great progress on the car. What did you use to create the weight pockets?

I found surplus glass top 4', perfect for a tuning table. Place a metal yard stick down the center to test for Rail-Riders. An old mirror works well too. For weights - Sporty's approach works well, buy Tungsten on sale, use 40% coupons at Hobby Lobby etc... I also scavenge lead wheel weights from Ti...
