Very good Dave. :handgestures-thumbup: And I don't believe you have no scales. You need two so you can get your front to rear balance. They say 40% front 60% rear. Mine was around that before it kissed the metal cart and concrete. Didn't check it after repairs. May be a bit heavy on the front. Anyway you can pick them up pretty cheap on ebay. Well worth the time it takes to play around with weight balance.

Good stuff. Funny how we build a car and start to think we really made something...until someone else shows up :)

Being a veteran of "burst balloon" syndrome I know how you feel.

I cannot say enough how cool it is to see all these cars. Everyone who stepped up and built a car should be proud.

Thank you very much for the pics and critique Dave! It is really cool to see the close up pics of the other entries and the W I D E variety of chassis, guide and body mount set ups! I am still impressed with how close the cars performed to one another considering this! :)
Looking forward to seeing the next installment of Fast Ford Racing! :D

Well I was really impressed with H's chassis when he built it.....

......It would be great to mate it with Davids body, I think it would be stellar actually!

Hey Dave, Great job! I enjoyed watching you driving and marsalling, quite a work out. Your critique and fotos were first rate. Tweety bird filled the sound voids and was that a bubbler I also heard?

The 'bubbler' as used in an aquarium, or maybe something on my end.
