Big cars, little cars........

They are all fun! It's nice to have a spare workbench for things like this! Some pictures.............







The track and racing cars are from a Carrera set. The cars are formula 1 (Ferrari and McLaren). I've got two Can Am cars ordered, a Sonoco 917 and a McLaren M20. When my son comes for Christmas we will find out who has the fastest thumb! Meanwhile, I will have to run the cars some just to keep them in good working order (he he).

Very nice! Looks like fun.

Cool. Lift-off oversteer probably isn't too much of a problem

The cars can pretty much circle the track at full throttle except for the end of the long back straight where the lane change is located. At that point a quick blip of the throttle is required, expecially if the driver used the "turbo" button for max acceleration. I've got to make a "wall" on the right end to keep the cars from finding their way to the floor! Stay tuned for some creative backgrounds!

Over the last few weeks I have been spending most of my time in the shop building the ATO fuse panels for SCs and Carreras. However, I have had time to do a little waxing on the SC, add a Weltmeister harness bar and a couple of other minor things. We had some really bad weather a few days ago with the possibility of large hail so it was nice to have a place to put my truck inside instead of having to leave it outside to take it's chances. I have added a new drill press and just got another floor jack (4 ton) thanks to a big savings on Black Friday at Sears. Sometime probably after New Years Day I am going to pull the engine out of the SC for a major overhaul/upgrade. That is when the shop will really begin to pay me back! Meanwhile, even in the nasty wet winter weather there is still car fun to be had!
