Found my very first Pinecar

[Gleep]

I woke up yesterday to water running out of my garage.
The water heater went out.
After running to Lowes and then installing a new heater I was forced to clean the garage. UGH!
During the clean up I came across my first ever Derby car. It was under a storage shelving unit.
The kids must have been playing with it.
I remember this with a hand miter saw and using 1Oz fishing lures smashed down with a hammer.
I was curious about the alignment so I put it on my tuning board and I was WOW!
The wheels migrated out forward and backwards and it had a 3" drift over 48".
I took first place with this car and I think that is where I was bitten by the Pinewood bug...

That is very impressive!!!! I bet mine would do a circle in 48" l

Cool Pic!

maybe I'll call the old Man tonight and tell him to get in the attic!! 85 degrees, @ 66 years old, I better call the medics now!

Cool deal!

Is the weight in the front of the car? Can't really tell from the picture, but it looks that way.

Its in the back...

I remember helping a friend drill a 1/2" hole down the center of the block thinking that would make it faster... Little did we know... /images/boards/smilies/smile.gif
