It's been several months since I have been on the board. So much going on here I can't start to go into it. Everything is still good hear. The next round of cuts at work is 9/22. After that I'll probably get back to building cars.

It is exciting to see so much change in the last year. Although I have not read everything yet, I see East Coast Derby is doing well, Jewkes has had some workshops, Jewkes has a video out, there are new BSA wheels, a national championship race, new tools, faster times, better axles, wow the list goes on. I think I even read something about patches for the sub 3.0 club.

Good luck to all the racers and for those of you who put so much time into this hobby/sport that keep it growing.

Thanks and congratulations.

It is good to have you back!!!!!

It has been quite a year!! It's really fixing to turn up a notch now that the KOH race is looming around the corner. Time to put it all on the table.

pony: Don't over heat the axle. I did that once too and I had to resand the axle. Two seconds of the flame is all I did. I hold the axle in the drill chuck, heat it then immediately spin it against the silly putty. I then wipe the axle down by hand. Feb 23, 2018 22:02:58 GMT -7

pony: I do the same technique with the hard ski waxes which I use a lot. You can heat the axle or if you don't want to use the heat just hold the hard ski wax against the spinning axle. Use high speed. The ski wax transfers by friction and the heat of the spin. Feb 23, 2018 22:06:02 GMT -7

pony: Remember though you still need some form of silicone on the axle after the ski wax. Plastics on steel always needs silicone. I don't have the technical know how to do a video and post it. It's the same process as polishing compounds and polishing wheels. Feb 23, 2018 22:09:47 GMT -7
