And yet another reminder, Jairus wishes all comments to go in this thread.

The "Cars of the California Choti Proxy" thread is only for posted pics of the completed entries.

[Jairus]

Thank you Mike.

We have another entry just posted this morning.
Will have an update very soon. Compiling information still...

[MantaRay]

Clarification please..................How is the front end going to be teched?
Braid/Guide OFF Block Wheels touching? Chassis NOT touching, No clearance specified for front....
Or Braid/Guide on tech block wheels touching.

Also can folks from the two tracks chime in with the actual braid depth.

[Jairus]

Randy confirmed that Eddie's track is .020.
Oscar has reported that B.P. braid is recessed as much as .030. (Oscar, please correct me if I am wrong)
This makes the depth difference .010 and hardly worth worrying about.

My test track has a .045 recessed braid btw. So I am going to have to make changes before mailing.

Tech will be to determine that NO part of the chassis touches the track period! Doesn't matter if it is .001 or .062 in clearance.
We don't want to piss off the host tracks guys so adjust accordingly please.

My rule of thumb is to solder on the front wheels sans rubber. Then once the "O" ring is slipped on... provides that the chassis will never touch in front with my solid front axle.

[Gator Bob]

Thinking I saw that after re-braid that BPR is .005/.008"

edit: <read a post>

[Jairus]

Couldn't tell you one way or another Bob. I can't see it from here and rely on my friends to inform me.

[Maximo]

Jairus and Gentlemen of the Balls Out Proxy,

I submit for approval a "Number Panel" I have fashioned to the rear end of my Proxy entry. I did not want to add a decal to the body as it is already painted. This rear view number panel is similar to what is used on racing karts. It is made of plastic and should not intrude on any other cars on the track, but merely addresses the lack on my entry number without it.


BTW, the rear foamy silicones were for testing locally, but Jim Hunnycut's 180' Englemen is closed for rennovation presently!

I thought Champion cans were not legal??

OK Bob I see it came out in black in 1968

[Gator Bob]

It's a "D" .... no Champion "C" cans.

[Pablo]

Better hurry up, Bob, only 2 more days.........

[Gator Bob]

When did the D come out Bob.... 1971?

The "Black Power" type "D" can came out in late 1968. The 535 Thumb Print motor is shown in the Spring 1969 catalog @ $19.95
