So, here's some pics of my first car for our local league and my first Pure Stocker as well. I hope to be able to race this in other leagues as well. Non dominant side view Underside Top, here's where my boo boo's show, having spent a total of maybe 20 minutes crafting the car. I screwed up drilling the non dom raised wheel, and now there is a hole in the top and bottom of the car. Oh well, I don't really care. Then after I got it upstairs from the dungeon, I realized that I had narrowed THE WRONG DARN SIDE OF THE CAR. I did this to my son's BSA car this year as well. Oh well, no big deal, I'll just pull the raised wheel out on the axle a bit, and now I have to narrrow the dominant side. Should only take me a couple more minutes. The wife is bugging me to clear coat it at least, do you guys have any recc's on a rattle can clear that will dry fast enough for me to run the car on sunday if I clear it tomorrow? Dominant wheel side Overall I am happy with it thus far. I bought 4 sets of BSA red colored wheels at the scout shop today, and managed to get a matched set, yay! So I sat down with the wife, the wheel shaver, and Grey's Anatomy for 2 hours, and did my wheels. Don't judge me

You should be fine!
If one of the wheels is wobbly put it on the left front.
Best Wheel on the left rear Second best on the right rear Third best on the DFW
This is in the order that the wheels have the most weight on them for a raised left wheel.....
