I talked with Ren this morning. He got the permits needed to build a dedicated track behind the North Pole Speedway. The first races will be in early June.
Sweet, now I have a goal to complete the bug by.
I chatted with him last week - meant to post that info up as well. Thanks Ole.
We'll get all the race dates and post them soon.
I may pick up a set of 31" boggers today want to put them on the rolled 2dr S-10 blazer that I have after I cut a bunch of sheet metal off and do some welding, but with the baby coming, more realistic will be late in the summer if at all. Might need to be a summer build party if I can get the parts together.
I'm in i love to cut other people's junk up!!
I'll try to make one race as usual. My XJ doesn't do well but it's fun. I actually got 3rd one year in class one. Maybe I can get started on tired iron and have it possibly ready this year.
