Yes, they are pretty a rough wheel!! Especially the inner hubs!!Lol

We race Awana for the past 11 years with about 30+ Awana builds in our immediate family. Our rules are very similar for the clubbers, no lightening of the wheel. We pick the best wheels that we have. We true up all surfaces that touch the track and cone both hubs. Polish the bores and hubs...

Yep, good luck to you also.

Good to have you there racing again. I think I remember hearing your name on ZeebZobs old podcast. We have our work cut out to catch that Derby Chick!! He's fast!!

Congrats on the win!! Good luck at council.

You at least need a tuning board of some sort. You can get fast without a track, you just need to be methodical and take notes. Experience helps a ton! I always built a car along with my kids as a test mule. If it worked good on my car we incorporated it into their cars the next year.

John is definitely giving good advice on the alignment issues. The stock Awana wheelbase makes for a terrible handling car. You definitely need to get those rears pushed to the rear for next year. About 3 yrs ago Awana switched suppliers for their wheels and kits. That alone could account for...

Scout challenge at Rocky Mountain Derby would be a great spot to race them!

Like Alice in Wonderland deep!!
