Rockford Speedway.. Figure-8, Trailer races
DrKerry replied to stavanzer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
They do bus figure 8's, Bus demos and Bus football too. They take an old diesel fuel tank like you'd see on a farm and use it as a football.. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rockford+speedway+bus+football&&view=detail&mid=4FD5D09E6FDFF4B317924FD5D09E6FDFF4B31792&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Drockford%2Bspeedway%2Bbus%2Bfootball%26FORM%3DHDRSC3 https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rockford+speedway+bus+football&&view=detail&mid=05D05BC2EF50A70A6BC905D05BC2EF50A70A6BC9&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Drockford%2Bspeedway%2Bbus%2Bfootball%26FORM%3DHDRSC3 https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rockford+speedway+bus+football&&view=detail&mid=3CD2D6E09CF3F1D40B623CD2D6E09CF3F1D40B62&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Drockford%2Bspeedway%2Bbus%2Bfootball%26FORM%3DHDRSC3 https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rockford+speedway+bus+football&&view=detail&mid=723868C1B6C29FFB4299723868C1B6C29FFB4299&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Drockford%2Bspeedway%2Bbus%2Bfootball%26FORM%3DHDRSC3 https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rockford+speedway+night+of+thrills&&view=detail&mid=3C2B4D6F2CF188C734CF3C2B4D6F2CF188C734CF&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Drockford%20speedway%20night%20of%20thrills%26qs%3Dn%26form%3DQBVR%26sp%3D-1%26pq%3Drockford%20speedway%20night%20of%20thrills%26sc%3D1-34%26sk%3D%26cvid%3D2845F2694C8440F7A1DD1B0A8F0B60A8 Auto hockey https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rockford+speedway+night+of+thrills&&view=detail&mid=B662ED4A9260A2B24456B662ED4A9260A2B24456&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Drockford%20speedway%20night%20of%20thrills%26qs%3Dn%26form%3DQBVR%26sp%3D-1%26pq%3Drockford%20speedway%20night%20of%20thrills%26sc%3D1-34%26sk%3D%26cvid%3D2845F2694C8440F7A1DD1B0A8F0B60A8 Melt down https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rockford+speedway+night+of+thrills&&view=detail&mid=5EFE501319A16C7CB9595EFE501319A16C7CB959&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Drockford%20speedway%20night%20of%20thrills%26qs%3Dn%26form%3DQBVR%26sp%3D-1%26pq%3Drockford%20speedway%20night%20of%20thrills%26sc%3D1-34%26sk%3D%26cvid%3D2845F2694C8440F7A1DD1B0A8F0B60A8 -

DrKerry replied to gotnitro?'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very nice... My 70 had a 455 in it. dual exhaust posi rear, that was a fun little hot rod. I've always liked the 68's and 70's better than the rest!! -
34 Ford Salt Flat called “Salt Lick”
DrKerry replied to DrKerry's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers

Rockford Speedway.. Figure-8, Trailer races
DrKerry replied to stavanzer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Rockford Speeday is a blast to be!!! Figure Eight Train race, and the Double Deckers are fun to watch as well... I grew up going there.... Guy in lead car has steering and throttle, guy in last car has brakes and steering. Car in middle is just an empty shell.. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rockford+speedway+figure+eight+train+race&docid=607995183627829517&mid=6BC9A647796BA01B97146BC9A647796BA01B9714&view=detail&FORM=VIRE Guy in top car has steering, guy in bottom car runs the throttle and brakes https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rockford+speedway+figure+eight+double+deckers&docid=607994174300751869&mid=252293DE84299A800CF4252293DE84299A800CF4&view=detail&FORM=VIRE -

BRBO 2020 Pete wrecker rebuild
DrKerry replied to DrKerry's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Be nice for sure if they were still around. I watched a YouTube video on making them. It's a four part video session where he cut the tabs down and rolled them over a brass rod. The directions in the pack don't make mention of cutting the tabs down and to me they should be left at the length so the hinges can be bent to allow the hinge to fit outside of the truck door and cab like the real rigs do. Cutting them to me would allow the hinges to sit inside the cab more and not protrude out... I may just have to bite the bullet and try one. If I mess up no biggie as I have two more packs at home already. That and I can get more too, my local hobby shop has them in stock so.. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll try and see if I can mess them up or not... -
Sweet!!! That's kool!!

Whoop whoop....

BRBO 2020 Pete wrecker rebuild
DrKerry replied to DrKerry's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thank ya JT... I need to get back to it. A little shy on working on the door hinges. I've never used photoetched door hinges and a bit scared to do them... But I have three other rigs to put them on as well so I need the practice I guess!! LOL... -
