Joker,
Great looking car. Should run great.
Something to look forward to in Aug.
Congratulations on Casino's performances in July. The secret has to be the monkey.
Good luck.
Phil

That looks like a "Ball" of fun. Hopefully the handle will turn up with a pot of gold.

Interesting car Joker, did you put all your weight up in a hole from the bottom of the rear ball?

Nice car. Do you plan on racing it at WIRL or PDDR or both. (assuming they are held on different Saturday's)

Interesting car Joker, did you put all your weight up in a hole from the bottom of the rear ball? THE WOODEN BALL OVER THE REAR AXLES HAS MULTIPLE HOLES DRILLED FROM UNDERNEATH - IT IS PACKED FULL OF TUNGSTEN. SLOT-MACHINE WILL BE GOING TO WIRL. |

 SOMETHING I DISCOVERED AFTER DESIGNING THIS CAR...............I CAN ALTER TO A LONG WHEELBASE MODIFIED IN SECONDS BY EXTENDING THE SHAFT THAT CONNECTS TO THE FRONT AXLES. I LEFT THE SHAFT LONGER THAN I NEEDED INITIALLY AND SIMPLY PUSHED IT FARTHER INTO THE BALL. FIGURED I WOULD TRIM IT LATER - JUST DIDN'T REALIZE THAT BY LEAVING IT LONG IT WOULD ALLOW FOR A QUICK ALTERATION FOR SHORT WHEELBASE STOCK/MOD INTO A LONG WHEELBASE MOD. |
