Cars ready for opening 2019 event this week

Post by gordon »

Well, Saturday at 2PM when I got home from work, I pulled out eleven cars with the hopes of working on them all for testing and racing some at our first 2019 event this coming Thursday. After taking nearly four hours working on the first car, I realised that it would be highly unlikely that I'd get through all by the end of the weekend if I was going to be so meticulous with each one. Suffice it to say, I managed to get just over half of them (six actually) done between 2PM and 1AM Saturday/Sunday and 10AM and a short time ago (around 7PM) Sunday. A real marathon session.

Here are the ones I completed, all complying with our 2019 class rules. The ones that really took the most time were the Historic Saloon and American Pony Car machines, as they now have updated rear axle and gear assemblies. Note that the rear wheels comply with the rule requirements of looking like the originals, even though none are original.

Looking forward to see how they run on Thursday.
