ride on powertool drag racer

[webby]

Webby was you at Shakey at the hot rod drags at the weekend? if you was I was probably talking to you lol. Ball Breakers a nice looking Slingshot. Impressive on the track too, Runs 9s doesnt it? Iv kinda got a thing for FED's. You cant got wrong with a slingshot or an old skool Fuel Altered like pure hell and winged express. We have owned a fair few race cars that you will have seen racing before.

thanks, we were at shakey, good event (apart from weather!)

That sounds interesting I shall put it forward for our next meeting.

We are also going to put forward running a privateer class and a pro class however money isnt what makes you win. Fleet must have built one of the cheapest dragsters there and yet they were consistantly 2nd this year until the finals. Robo Challenge spent around £250 on our dragster, for the rest we spoke to companies about sponsoring parts as any other roboteer could & should. Its only Silverline that have put any real money into the racing and thats only because the engineering to build their dragsters have cost, parts wise they dont use any fancy stuff at all. You guys are all engineers. Everyone either builds a light dragster or gets companies to sponsor engines. then you can be competitive

[james...venom]

In fact if you would really like to build a ride on for next year let me know and I shall speak to Silverline to see if there is any possibility of sponsorship of engines or grinders. email me at info (at) robochallenge.co.uk and I shall see if anything is possible for you.

Great event! Crap weather in the morning, good weather in the afternoon, outstanding weather at all times inside, under Concord, where I was competing. Over half the awards went to machines built by roboteers.
