  • Hey Whipper,

    Good luck. Be careful. I can't wait to see the videos. If you have more than one camera and operator, try and get the comments/reactions from the spectators. I'd love to hear what they have to say about The Spider.

    • Good Luck Whipper

      Just by the presence of your machine they will take notice. Sounds like you have a plan. Wish i could come and watch. I know you will give it your best. Best wishes
      Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

          • I mead no disrespect, you are a very talented craftmen, but the plate that mounts to the body, wouldn't that put a huge amount of force into a small space. Say you are in loose terrain, and only 1 or 2 tires get traction, in a hard turn, it would try to "flex" that axle instead of turning. Instead of 3 plates per side, what if you had one continous plate per side, the full lenght of the unit. this would distribute any force to a much bigger area. Again, no disrespect, just a thought!

              • Need a Whipper report : Anyone know?

                Hey guys, anyone in touch with Whipper or his wife on how things are going at the race? I know this is a short race today, just curious. I hope he real makes a showing. He is realy out numbered.

                        • Great Footage Whipper

                          Loved the footage.

                          I realy didn't think that there would be any "stock" anything out there as you probably thought as well. Being this is the first time on a course like that it was hard to make a accurate setup. 7th was not bad at all. I am wondering can the chains take any more RPM? The machine seemed to handle well in the turns and the straights. I know you have built this machine for recreation not hard core racing any thoughts on building a dedicated racer? Any way glad you and machine made it safely through and a few thumds up from the crowds never hurt. They will not forget your machine simply because it was different you finished and it looked.

                          P.S. Where do you get your DVD's of the old racing days?

                              • Incredible man Thanks for sharing that video with everybody. What great publicity for this hobby and it looked like a blast. You could tell that you were really taking a beating though. Let's see how you feel in a couple of days
