Haha! Well, I doubt if we make them nervous, but you heard it here first-I'm sincere about trying to take that title away!

Rob, thanks for playing. We'll let your thread get back to your cool build!

Tony, Thanks, I was actually on Bickle's site (one of my favorite vendors) before I posted but could not find them. Thanks for the link.

The suspension and steering look spectacular.

You need two front wheels because SCTA says so.

Since you have them aligned, how about 95% weight on the forward wheel and 5% on the back?

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Actually, since we are using aluminum rollers, I want to keep them even so they will leave less marks in the salt.
Good thinking though!
