Very cool Mark, somehow I can’t see this as your last car. If it where that easy to stop, I would have stopped long ago. You make some of the most creative, non-car, cars. Here are a few… Colt 45, the Bobcat, the wood plane or the grease gun. Along with some wonderful cars you have made throughout the years.

Not to mention all of your knowledge of the different kits (you are the one that started me into assembling a collection of all of the old kits to make a display in the future). Even if you don’t make any more cars you can continue to post here on DerbyTalk.

Darin, who said anything about retirement? :idk:
I've been thinking about putting on better set of new tires on this trike..
Thank's to FS, wheel gauge I fell there will be more cars on the tracks with less wheel run out.

While I thank you guys for all the compliments on some of the crazy car ideas i've came up with,
and posted on here.

Sporty. do you think you could do me up a whip flag with the Team Derby Talk logo for this trike?

Thank's Pgosselin.. The photo shows the car with out any weight in it.
This crazy pwd car idea... hit me... While at my local Big R Supply store as I rounded a corner in the store and the kid that was rideing one of these ran into me with it.

Anyway i've been working hard to get this design weighted to my likeing.
Right now as the design is it's been a real trick.

FS, what do you think should i give this crazy car a go at mid-America for team DT?
Whoda. ;)

In that case, uh... welcome back? :oops:

Thanks FS, I just don't know if this design will be fast car or not.
I'm trying to make and ad homemade weights to get the COG were I'd like it to be in this design has been a real trick. I do not think i'm going to get were i'd like it to be on this design.
