Awwwwww

If I remember right, they only see in ultraviolet, which means the 503 was the right color. I'm surprised it stuck around long enough for you to get the pics. I'd like to say it was one of my spies, but I can't.

Looking great there Mike!!!!! BTW,...Butterfliers are a sign of good luck! See you at Ash!!

While most of the hardware is as ready as it's going to be for race day, I decided to try to clean the machines up at least a little bit before they get run into, smashed, rolled and/or set ablaze at some point over the weekend. The acetone rub down on the ABS bodies works well, and a little rubbing compound and wax on the old girls really goes a long way.
So much so, that a purdy li'l bug stopped by to give me a pat on the back. No, it wasn't JP....





Thought it looked quite a bit like the sticker on Bridget's skid plate. Sorry little dude; no nectar in there. Just 91 octane and synthetic oil....

Saw Lewis's tires & had to explore my options. While he drifts right or left, I should be able to drift right past him.


Very funny, I shall not comment!

Their is a formula to figuring out rolling resistance..and i think whipper got it

How many walmart's did you visit to come up with 6 trailer tires

You're good, Roger.

But actually, it was only one trip to Harbor Freight. True one stop shopping.

NO time. So little time, so much to do.

Hmmm....Didn't you always tell me to piant my white rims black? :-)

Will you be switching wheels for trails after the track shuts down?

Saw Lewis's tires & had to explore my options. While he drifts right or left, I should be able to drift right past him. When I give it a shove it rolls 22 1/2" feet before it stops. This could maybe increase top end by 5-10 mph. Crazy Idea......or not.?

I know just what you mean, Joe. I put a 12 hour day into doing nothing but working on my racer. Fun stuff, and its going to all be worth every minute when we're ripping down the track!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have to see if they'll both fit.

I'm putting all my free time into getting the Chief ready. I was in the garage from 8:00am till 7:00pm today. Plan on spending half the day tomorrow, working on it.

Joe, you could probably fit 3 smaller machines sideways on a 14ft trailer. But yea, that Sur Trek is a beast. This might be pushing it, but I wonder if you could first put the Attex on sideways toward the front of the trailer and then drive the Sur Trek up. I fit two Attexes on my 5x8 trailer side by side a couple times. I had to take all of the wheels and tires off, but it worked.

Just a little less than 3 more weeks to go.......I'm pumped!!!

Just bringing the racer. I'd like too bring the Surtrek, but not enough room for both. The Surtrek is 10ft and my trailer is only 14ft.
