I can't believe I won the Indiana State Museum Race!

How do I post pics from my phone on this site? I can't figure it out.

I post mine to a photo sharing site like photo bucket and then just post the link on here.

Revenge is a dish best served up cold. I only wish there was a man that you could have looked into his eyes when he realized that it was you only 30 years later !

Congrats on the win !

The photo bucket app works good on your phone. Once you upload a pic you can hit the link/share symbol and do copy to clipboard. There will be a list of different types of links, pick the img version. Then come here and paste it. The proper brackets will be included so the pic will be shown when you add your reply.

That sounds like an interesting story. Care to share it?

The weather was so nice we left after qualifying and took a walk around the Indy canal. We came back for the finals so I only spoke with a few other racers afterwards. It seemed like a smaller turn out compared to past years. Too bad because the track was better than ever.

Congratulations!

So what wheel and fender combination did you end up racing? How did the car handle the stop section? How close was 2nd place? Photo of the car?

How awesome, this looks like a cool race to enter!

Hey @Wombatchewed I see that it looks like you tried to reply to my questions, but the forum seems to have eaten the answers! Love the car!

Still interested to know what wheels you used, and how close 2nd place was!

The lifted front wheel was full size and used as a bumper for the stop section. The rear wheels and dfw were smoothed more. They check the wheels with a gauge and too light wheels will most likely break in the stop section and not pass inspection. I don't want to give anymore than that. You have to build a durable car.I gave up on front fenders in exchange for the stability of a long wheelbase. In the final 4 I came in second in the first two races In which another car set the track record of 4.4960. I won the last two races so it was close.

Sounds like they need to increase their stop section.

that was my grandsons car that set track record we could not get the speed back after the crash
it broke two wheels off the hubs were still on the axles
sure would be nice if they improved stop area

Congrats and nice "timing", too- 1985 and 2015 are both significant years for the BTTF trilogy.
