Got my drawing pad out, working up some new drag bike drawings. I have a new modified factory chassis ready for this new body I am working up. That gives me two types of chassis's, three if I continue to use the Lifelike motor in the Eagle chassis.

Had our first club meeting to set the upcoming races for 2015. After our tune up race that day I have decided to redo the Blacktop again. This time I will mount it on a shelf attached to wall. The track will grow in length and give the Blacktop a 7ft shutdown instead of 4ft shutdown. This will allow me the have the track up year round for our club racing.

Here is another drag bike fresh out the mold. This time out I redid the back fender area and added a short wing. I also restyled the seat for the rider. I have a new chassis already for this one. I just need to come up with a paint scheme, stay tuned.....

Well tomorrow the Blacktop Raceway begins another remodel. Some of the support wood warped and it makes it really hard to shim and level the track. The track is a portable track, but no longer. I am mounting it on the wall. So needless to say I am excited about how it will turn out.

Thought I would share a few photos of the reconstruction of the Blacktop Raceway. Jeff came over and Friday 11-14-14 to help get things rolling. THANK YOU CUZZO!! We cut down a large metal shelf and mounted brackets and shelf on the wall. Now I have a running start to paint and finish by end of December 2015. It has to be done before January 2015 because race #1 for the club is my track.

The Blacktop use to be portable and was mounted on 1x2 frame work . The separate track pieces locked together. We measured and cut down from 2ft wide to 16" wide to mount on the wall. Here are a couple of photos with pieces laying on new wall shelve. Now I need to clean up pieces and screw them to the plywood.

Looks good. After Christmas my 4th bedroom will be converted into an HO drag race room, complete with workshop and room for esthetics. It has one 22' wall which will be ideal. My computer, desk, printer and all else will be moved to the other side. Right now it is hung on the rec room wall which is only 18'.

Thanks phantom for thumbs up, alpink and dave632 for nice comments. It is a labor of love. Next I am painting the wall. I will be adding new buildings etc. to the strip. I plan to take photos showing each step of progress. Improving the Blacktop, building cars, creating something new this is when I have the most fun.

Here is a finished version of my latest Pro Stock Motorcycle. This setup is not the same as the last one. I reworked the body to make it a little wider and added a wing. This one is setting on a Wizzard P3 Patriot, highly modified. For more checkout our web site at eagleracing.us

Eagle, what does it cost to get into one of these fine Pro Stock Motorcycles? I like it a lot.
