Good morning Drag Mates This is how a North Carolina Mountian Man, Test his Supercar before sending it of to Dave's Smoky Mountain Drag Strip. Note: Post 2 photos when Nitro Slot makes it possible again. When you don't have enough power anywhere in the house ðĪ You resort to using your very Old Faithful Bulldozer. Tested this chassis Less the a second on the Dozer, I knew this Monster ðđ will tare Daves track up leaving the tires all over the place Mmmm ðĪ But wait, its already boxed and Just FedEx it out. ðĪ I did not check to see if it goes forward or only in reverse "Like The Last Supercar I send Dave" ""Dave said this ð"" You put the magnets in on the wrong side, it ran backwards. I reversed the polarity on my track to test it. Ran .31 @ 57.7 mph. After a Long night and throw the morning the The Crew has "KATO" "THE" "TIGER" Ready to ship out this morning. I'm going to have to have a serious Talk to Building Crew, to see which of these bombs are Sabotaging the building of these drag monsters ðđ. And if that does not work I'm going to give them over to "Rocky" In Tennessee to Deal with them after I dip them in a Sardine Can of Fish.
Darg Mates any "New-?? I check all the time to see if you all have any new old story to share. Real Quiet here in the mountains without electricity or the Boob tube, to watch. ðĪ You know that's why you have to use to bulldozer to test the Drag Monsters ðđ

Finistauri seems to have taken out the power to his house by running to hot a wind on his motors. Revenge for the Monster you gave me.

Dave, what is the distance between the center of the rails on your track? I am trying to finish up these cars and get them off in the mail. The only thing left to do is the braid. I ordered 3.5 mm, but it has not arrived yet. I have 2mm and if i flatten it, i have 2.25. So i need to make sure the distance between the center of the braid is the same as the rails.

Finistauri what are you building over there. You took out the power clear to ohio lmao. I told the wife I needed a new car battery... didn't tell her it wasn't going in a car lmao. Looks like 12v racing until the power is back on.

Al I found those on Amazon by a company named Juvale award trophys. They are 4" high by 1" wide. I made my own award labels. Dyno the rails are exactly the same as standard AFX track, .560 or just a little over 1/2".
Skillet I think Finistauri is building a Frankenstein monster.

Hey Dave is that your Beretta drag car on the trailer? Beautiful. Is it a slot car? Nice wheels! That is a slot car. Jeff Wallace was nice enough to build that body for me, he copied my Beretta drag car from back in the early 2000s. He did a fantastic job on it even got the color right. I put some custom wheels on it and it is mounted on a 4 gear chassis. It is my only shelf queen as all my other cars go down the track. Here is a close up of it. I believe he sells a resin body like this. Beretta by JJWallace

Looks like 12v racing until the power is back on. Skillet Working at my bench in our little living room of Bedroom, Went to fire this Beast ðđ Up. My Wife Cindy watching a program, ðĨ ðĨ ðĨ ðĨ ðĨ ðĨ ðĨ Shot Down the whole House and both Daughters Houses Next ðŠ Door, ðĪ Mmmmmmmm, I thought if that Battery in the Bulldozer can Crank That Old Gal up it can surely Fire This Dragon Monster ðđ Up. Man-O-Man for a split second I cold hardly hold it in my Hand. ðĪ my only worry is when Dave goes to run the test on qualifying day, That if it goes in " Reverse " like my last Supercar race ð It will end up going out Daves side window and could end up in His Neighbor's house, Or even worst throw Dave TV Screen displaying the Time racing board. Well so much for Fiction, There are so many unusual things that happen when Building these Drag Monsters ðđ. Drag Mates share us "some Tales"
