We (engineers at Compaq and outside consultants) designed, built (some of it), raced and won with this car in 2001.
Two cars race at a time. Two people push each car for 60 feet, then coast down Sand Hill Rd. in Menlo Park CA. Speed at the end of the push ~22mph, speed at the end of the course ~43mph. The competition was fairly serious, some teams had professional bob-sled pushers. The car is still in good shape, stored waiting for another race. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1485365158.jpg |

Those Ragtime Areo folks seem to get some nice planes thru their shop.
Nice finish and details. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1485374206.jpg 1930 Stearman. From their site. http://www.allenairwaysflyingmuseum.com/image%20descriptions/C3Rspeedster.html |

Yeah, Rick is one of the nicest guys I know up there. Friendly, willing to talk to anyone and humble. I've been watching planes roll from his shop since 2000. What is more amazing is the fact it's a solo operation. Just him doing all of that work. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b330f44349.jpg Air&Space did an article on the Howard line. It was neat to see Rick mentioned about one of his fine restorations, which cost more than our house...... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4ac2d9b0b0.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a0f8bb4747.jpg Rick and several other KPVF locals fly over to Wings at Auburn, KAUN for lunch on Fridays, weather permitting. I would always call them the Friday lunch bunch. As they would return, our home is directly under their flight paths as they would come in for a mid-field entry into the downwind. I am always amazed how fast those Howards would fly at. Big airframe and big radial was a very good combo. Big fuel burn too. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9959264799.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
