Here is one of the new Bob Emott frames all ready to give a shakedown. A double Twistamon!

Nice car!!!

Has anyone built a Twistamon F1, with the twists vertical?

Who makes those O-ring rear hubs?

Awesome-looking chassis. Have you tested it yet? Body looks great but, I'll bet it looks even better in person.

See you at SpeedZone on Sat.

Not yet, Larry. It will be given plenty of testing in the coming weeks.

Enot 3 got a maiden test at Speed Zone and the results were good. Some additional tweaking is now in the works as we learned a few things and this sucker some real potential especially for a King track.

An update. The car got a trial run when we had our Retro East finals at Speed Zone. I noticed a few things and communicated them to Bob and the frame went back in for fine tuning. Got it all together again for another test run on Rapid Ricks wicked Grandstand track this past weekend.

Bob built this with a King track in mind so running it on this unique hill climb with it's esses and other challenges I felt would be a good test. Well, I wound up running it because it was planted and the more I learned the track the better the car worked. Let's look at it this way. I dropped 5 /10ths with it from my qualifying time to my fast race lap time on the essentially the same lane. Rick himself ran it and noticed how well it ran too.

Next up will be a good test at Port Jeff at RP3.

Noose. Each heat it seem you got better . Great run for the first time on a tuff track. Looking forward to see how great you do with Bobs chassis at Port Jeff. Sorry I didn't take a look at it Saturday.

Mr. Enot (yeah Bob) was at our Retro East race this past weekend showing some goodies and I think another Enot wound up in my box. I saw it crawling around looking for parts to complete it. Stay tuned. Makes Enot 3 look like a geek built it. ^_^

Let's face it, you were sandbagging in qualifying...

I have received the chassis Bob built for Jens Graf, so you better get busy painting him a body, please... :shok:

Thanks!

OK, Bob was back at the jig and decided to come up with Enot 3A with the A standing for advancement. This found it's way into my box this weekend and was crawling around looking for the rest of it's parts. It's determined to make itself into a King track car.

Does the bite bar ride on the twistamon rails to keep the pan rail from drooping?
