like RCCA did with their killer streey buggy i always liked that article, i really liked the way they had that sprint car wing mounted on springs so it "auto adjusted" as you drove it. if you could dave could you post that article, i think i got rid of my copy that i had. it was a wild ca...

no need to build a drivers stand your neighbors deck will do nicely.

jason i like youre slot car style idea here is my suggestion for eliminating the loop and make all the turns banked like the slot car track. seeing how you are limited for width you should make use of the longer angled straights to keep the speeds up and avoid slow speed tight corners to avoid pileu...

Donated a Batwedge body to TBG a few weeks ago

what? a possible batwedge repro, man thoes things are going to sell like hotcakes.
