Re: SCCA pinewood derby?

I took the rules to the max. When they inspected it I had to prove everything was legal. Polish axles, reamed wheels, turned wheels to remove mold seams. Weight was .4 over so it would round down. They said we took it to far. Funny thing is she did most of the work with my research and direction.

STM for the lotus clone

I am seriously thinking of running STM next year. Get me some of the 245 rival 15". The car will be street legal by then. I was wondering if anyone running that class had a problem with it before I buy tires. Thanks.

Re: Building a tire rack?

I have a open trailer. None of the wall mount ones will work. I am building one that will set on the tongue of the trailer. Will hold two sets of tires.

Building a tire rack?

I am going to build a tire rack for the new trailer. My biggest question is how long to make it. I think I will run 15x11 6ul wheels with 275 Hoosiers on it. So I was thinking 48" would be good but I don't have tires that wide to see. Any advice would help. Thanks.
