Sam, do you have a 1/64 scale cherry picker or do you use an old school block and tackle? In 1962 when I was 16 I bought a used block and tackle and hung it from a beam in my Dads old garage. I still have the block and tackle but I also have a pretty nice cherry picker.

A long time ago I used a block and tackle hung off a tree limb to change an engine.

I ran some stuff last night I'm going to finish up tonight so I can just edit one video...
After work I'll run Dynomike knightrider and post pictures of times it's running. It will be in the video later but I'll post times so we can see for now...

As I progressed thru my drag racing for many years, I worked up to a huge 4 car garage that I miss now even though my race cars are 2" long, I could have easily run a 1/4 mile there with over 10' shutdown. It was an attached 40x32 and I was planning to put a lift in also but I stopped full size racing in 2008. I broke every part you can imagine over the years, but I learned what works and what doesn't.  Beretta motor before nitrous |

Congratulations Pennywize that was a great win. Thanks to Sam for the event and the videos bring it all to life. It looks like I need to do some very serious tuning in the future, some of those times were amazing.  |

Ok im back in the saddle. Ended up winding a 5ohm for Mike's knight rider.
I put more timming into it than I have on any other in the past. Mike's knight rider is now a advanced timming experiment. I epoxied it last night so I'm putting his car back together now.
Mike if this is a fail I'll stick a normal 5ohm in there for you.
I was planning on sending everyone out Monday and my wife just reminded me it's actually Christmas, some how I dismissed Christmas and got lost in slot land. She said the post office probably won't make a special appearance for you to mail, she may be right this time...
I will send back asap.
Until then I have a few requests to fill.
I'll get those finished up and posted.

Dynomike is up and running. Turned into a little battle... thinking I was working on kit I soon came to the idea ... this might be kar the evil twin ? So I tossed it in the Skillet and turned up the heat... Kit Kar is now sporting a 5ohm Skillet fried arm, new rear rims and tires (well new to the car), stronger magnets, a new wheelie bar, modified brush springs (if you take apart keep front in front, back in back) and a different braid/shunt set up. I think I like this shunt set ... Thinking maybe another traction magnet but I'm going to let Dynomike fine tune it. Definitely feels like more can come out of it. Has no break in time but here's it's first pass. It's not on camera, I'll get the next pass on camera. Just hope it's faster than Mike has on record at home...  Screen shot...  |

Wow Sam, I've never had a pancake that fast. As far as fine tuning it, I seem to have a talent for slowing things down. Thanks and Merry Christmas my friend.
