ranman,

i will post a pic once my wife emails me one from my home computer to my work.

There seems to be alot of people in this forum from st. louis.

Our district race is this weekend Jan 29th at Mid Rivers. (The day before my b-day.) What a crazy weekend it is going to be.

hey hummer... what part of st. louis?

Here's the story. The pack is divided into groups according to the age, i.e. Weblos, bear, wolf, and Tiger. 6 lane 32' wood track manual start with electronic place finish. We took fist place in the Weblos division without a single loss winning each time by at least a half of car length. We use the ...

I found this to be the best spped trick out there. Thank Your wife and give her a hug for putting up with and/or all the encouragement which she has given you. This can help you in so many ways. 1.

We used some on our cars this year and it was realitvely quick in dry time (12 hours or so). It seemed to help to apply this in really light co...

You might consider going to the local hobby shop and looking into some of the plastic molding resins that are out there. You would have to then redrill the hub hole, file, sand and then polish. The hard part is going to be making sure the the new hub ID is no larger than the old one was and making s...

I would like to know if anyone has ever tried this: Thin sheets of model car foiling at the outer edge of the car body for decoration. I could also see a speed advantage to this in that the foiling would have less friction on the hub of the wheel than the applied paint or clear coat which would norm...
