That is too cool, that the calipers work.

I have seen alot of mini brakes lately. With the scooters and pocketbikes. There is a pocketbike company that has actual hydraulic brakes for them. 4-piston too I believe.

Saw a jet funny car up at Royal Oak one year. Talked the guy into firing it up. He blocked it with his foot and fired it up. Shot smoke and flames out about 10 feet. When the smoke went across Woodward Blvd, and it was thick. Cop came over and told him to shut it off. The guy just shot some more fuel and oil to it. belched out a big flame and more smoke. Cop got right in the guy's face and shouted shut it off or go to jail. Cop had no sense of humor. That and the fact that this was all taking place at a filling station. John shut it down and the cop just shook his head. He then ripped John a new rear. I'll have to see if I can find the video.

This Ed person claims to have made parts or complete cars for WCM, Pro1, lightening, and a host of other cars and parts. I think ED is what I call a credit man, he takes credit for anything and everything he sees!!!...

Not picking on ED at all. Just pointing out that the car is not his. Just trying to keep things straight so people dont think things that are not true. Thats all.

I dont race anymore for a variety of reasons. Lots have changed over this way and there is a new perminent track here locally now and it is quite nice from what I hear. There are plans to build in a drag track too and I think thats quite exciting. Last weekend I had the former owner of Cajon RC speedway come over. He hosted the first nationals. I never went to that track when it was open but he brought lots of fantastic pictures and articles, not to mention videos! That was a first class track there. They were even able to charge spectators and hundreds would come.

How about putting some of those photos on your site. It's been a while since any older stuff has been on there. It would be nice to see some different stuff.

I will scan some of the pics and post them. The real cool thing is the videos.

I would love to see the vidoes. I have a few old ones but it seems there was one of the king 8 races thats been copied to death. I've bought a few of them with different covers but they all end up being the same vidoe.

Any chance of copying them so we could get some?

Maybe? They were given to me and they were shot for the owners of the speedway. I would have to ask them. Lance love is in them quite a bit and Jon Rahe is there also. Some neat walkthroughs in the pits too. Cool stuff! Oh yea, some from the bakersfield track as well.

I am not picking on Mike (QSL) Since we are keeping things in check.
Now back to the pics of the Jet Funny Car.I was on the phone with the guy who bought the frame.He told me to put the heading My jet car.Which i did.The guy asked me to do it.Since he does not want to deal with alot of guys asking about.

Now getting back to mister QSL.Stick to your site and police it.Get the facts before you make a post.Just like on your site. You have to be the first to reply.Even when you don't have the answer for the guy.
Mike just an idea do your homework before you post.When will the Skellenger Winters Rears be on the market?I heard soon. Keep up the good work.

Happy Thanksgiving to the board

Dave when did i ever say that i made WCM, Pro1, Lightening parts.Get your facts right before you post.BTW if my thinking is right.I did make some parts for a WCM, Pro1, Lightening.My bad i forgot 2 more.Cracker and Quaterscale Motorsports.I wonder who made the first Predators for them.I wonder who makes the Rims on Willmann Racing Products.I could keep going. If you need any more info call or e-mail me.I was going to keep quite. :thumbsup:

I don't need to take the credit.I let other guys take the credit.
Thanks to the guys who made a post on my behalf.

Mike like i told you before.When i sent you a link.Think back.I gave you the option to back out.You did then.You should have left me alone.MY SOURCES ARE GOOD ask the guy in Victorville.I think the molds are Carbide and Aluminum.Is your mold is built like that.Talk to the Tool and Die Mold Makers on your site.Check to see if they should be made like that. I would PM this but QSL does not like to get PMS or e-mails.
Just thinking out loud.I see you only answer or comment on 1 point. You always leave out what might pertain to you.Why is that?HMMMMMMMMMMM.


Sorry to the board and to Hank.If you need to delete this i understand.
