Derby Evolution - Sold?

[MrRoadWarrior]

I got an email refunding my order from Derby Evolution. I guess the website was sold.

My questions are

Were their Air Guides what everyone used on Street Stock builds?
and
Is there someone else that sells laser cut basswood bodies? My skills and quest for perfection making my own bodies have me a bit frustrated.

Best thing that ever happened to you that you did not waste your money.

It went up for sale 3 or 4 weeks ago on Facebook I think, but the Derby Evolution page has been taken down, so you can't see the old post anymore.

It will be interesting to see how things turn out...

Laser cut and basswood might be a bad combo. Warped bodies.

 

[MrRoadWarrior]

Maglev said he ran one in nationals so I ordered one as a template to make my stuff better and possibly use. Tolerances mean a lot in racing, that's how Jeff Gordon's team beat up on everyone in the late 90s. I can see how a laser could be bad on basswood, but it's pre axel drill. Most of the 1/4" basswood I see at Hobby Lobby and Michaels isn't top quality either.

I have received lots of laser cut bodies as door prizes and some to sell. The ONLY ones that were not warped were the ones Goatboy made for me. I guess that is why the others were door prizes.

I don't think any of the top racers are using the evo fenders. Most are using balsa.

I've tried the balsa with very little luck. I am now experimenting with malvaceae ochroma pyramidale, a special wood formulation grown in rural parts of the country, genetically enhanced.

 

[Ballistic Racing]

Yup...Balsa!!!

Oh no! The secret it out!!!

Like the rural pine barrons south of exit 82

Most are using balsa.

Typically crafted right at home.

I have a couple of those laser cut balsa bodies. I use one of them to trace my cutout lines on the bottom of my blocks. It's great for that!

My guess is Joel is the one who bought Derby Evolution.

I did........B_Regal Enterprises LLC.

It was not me. I could not buy a humming bird a pair of boxers!

Check out sweenks.com they are a sponsor of NPWDLR. I have seen on their site where they do laser cut bodies. I have not tried them myself, but I have ordered some of their laser engraved pictures
