No, we don't have winter tires for the cars (yet) but we do have a new car to build for the 2018 racing season.

If you're thinking about heading out to this evenings meeting, you can check out the  progress so far. 

5 months seems like a long time, but realistically, we're going to take a 3 month break in the middle somewhere, so it all balances out...

Good progress was made on the car last night, mostly around layout and planning, but we also got the front end mostly designed (Brandon is ready to start welding) and bumpers installed.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to help or just check out the project.

We’re still experimenting with motor options. We want a single motor, somewhat bigger than we’re using on the box car. This one might be too much, though.

I'll be making a trip to Lincoln this Saturday and can stop at Surplus Center, what were the part numbers we needed for wheels?

Was there a keyed flange you were looking at too?

I didn't see one on the website, but it'd be for a  3/4" keyed shaft (which came from surplus center last year) with a flange similar in size to the hub of those wheels...

They took a long time to find, because the name doesn’t make sense. They’re referred to as “keyed H-bushing.” I think they’re meant for something fairly specific, but will probably work for what we’re planning.

Two of those, correct Ben?

We’ll need at least two. Depending on how the brake and chain mounts work out, it might take four, but I think we’ll try to avoid that for space reasons.

I picked up 6 wheels and 2 bushings earlier today. I stopped by the space and left them on the table in the front room.
