Very nice, Smitty. I'd keep this type of kit in my car...never know when you get the urge to race!
got 1 in my street rod... just in case...
Clever and well made. Maybe Mattel is looking for ideas.$$$$$$$, maybe.
mattel wants nothing to do with ideas that are not theirs, kinda like my mom...
...or [in case I stole the idea from someone else]... but, now that I have made one... they can't...
hmmm...might make a good future first place prize !
Awesome set up Smitty! May have to try this myself so I can take it with me when I visit the grandkids in Maine.
Very cool ingenious design...major kudos!
