Scott,
That is a great looking car, but I just wanted to warn you she will be kicking your tail just like she did the rest of us when she set the class record with her last car.
Seriously it is a beautiful car and its nice too see more people getting interested in this sport, hobby or addiction, whichever you prefer to call it.
Good luck at BGN Ms. Beakerboysracing.
Phil

Well, looks like the little lady has been at it again. She was so thrilled with how Bubblicious ran, she decided to build another. This time BeakerGirl Racing is jumping it to the arena with the big boys. I just can't seem to convince her to paint anything put pink. See ya Scott Beakerboys Man, this race may really turn out to be a battle of the sexes! My daughter Ashlyn (Dainty Dancer Racing) says "You go girl!" Why can I not get these songs out of my head... " Stacy's Beakers' Mom, has got it going on!"... Bowling for Soup and " Fergalicious Bubblicious, definition, make them boys go loco!"... Fergie Geez... I've gotta quit listening to my daughters Ipod... I'm embarrassed to even acknowledge I KNOW those songs! Steve B.

Nice looking car, I really like the wheels. Are they custom made or can you buy them already cut like that? Those are definitely some cool looking wheels !! Rumor on the street is that DerbyDoc.com will be carrying them !! Sweet looking ride Mrs. Beaker, I can't wait to see it run !!

OK.. OK.. OK. I was going to let the questions ride for the rest of the day because I knew there would be alot of questions about the wheels. Then Lucky let the cat out of the bag. ;D I'm not aware of Tory having the wheels but he does know about them. So contact him to verify. I actually found these in a hobby store down near my house. They are actually for RC airplanes. They are 1 inch in diameter and have a bore of roughly 50 thousands. They are incredibly light( less than 1/2 gram) and they spin very smoothly on an axle. I actually saw these wheels on one of Arch Racings cars at the last WIRL race where he soundly beat all of us. When I ran across them the other day at the hobby store, I couldn't resist. I should have some #56 drill blanks in today so I'll get them polished up and put it on the track. I think she's going to be fast. We will see.
By the way, Mrs. Beaker says thank you for all the compliments.
See ya
Scott

Bob, nice looking! Is that paint or natural? the pic doesn't do it justice. But, I definitely can see your signature building style.

Thanks Doug...It is painted an off white color, lime green stencil...that's the best pic I could get...my camera loses detail the closer I get From here on it's gonna have to be solid color spray paint The walls of time are closing in on me...

One down....25 to go to catch beaker How much time do I have left Can I apply for an extention Hey DocB, I should have concentrated on a few really fast cars instead of 26 slow to avg. ones. My head is spinning just thinking about tweaking and alignment. I don't know which way to go and what to do with each one ? Maybe I should build a couple more Scott

Dwayne,
Milner and On Da Chip are both beautiful cars. I am starting to get excited about next weekend.
I have 3 of mine ready to go. I am getting close with "The Grump" and not too far off on "Grumpy's Toy", but after watching the WIRL Videos, I have no idea what to do with "Ashlee's Thanks". It was all over the track on several runs. On heat 6 it must have ran 50'.
Good luck to all racers. Just take a deep breath Bob, it's going to be OK.
Phil

Well, I have come to a momentous occasion, we have finish the last car in our line up for BGN ;D. Meet HR66 DOUBLECLUTCH: This moment brings different emotions. I'm kinda sad that the building is over (this was a very fun adventure), yet glad that now the racing can begin! ;D See ya Scott Beakerboys

Scott,
Double clutch is another beautiful car. I think that's the neat thing about HR66, the cars look like cars.
I can't believe your family has 26 cars. It's neat, I hope you get the enjoyment out of the BGN that I have gotten out of all the live events I've been fortunate enough to attend.
Just think. This time next week the BGN will be over, and Bob will be able to enjoy the nervous breakdown he so much deserves.
Good luck to all racers.
Phil
