This Speedex FG was added to my collection today its from the Pond Bros days

WOW!! Between this and the Senior it looks like your having a "mid-life crisis". I like it :bow-blue:

At least we know it got a good home. Once you get to play with the tiller steer for awhile you will love it lol

I wanted to weld a pole in the middle of the trailer and put a mannequin hanging on to it with a bikini or nude but the wife said NO, and she don't tell me no very often, so no pole dancer this year.

I would give $100 each sight unseen maybe more depending on condition.

I have been picking away at getting my race car ready for a few fun night races at the local short track, First race was the pole race where you have a 1/4 mile oval with a earth mover tire in the middle of the turns you have to make a loop around the tires, with up to a dozen other cars on the track, I got second place, I have a hard time with this race doing the tight turns the tires are about 8' diam. and my car has a locked rear end basically a solid axle so it pushed not turns, I have to try to power it around the tires in the straight aways I can get it wound up pretty good in second gear before backing out of it to make the turns, next race was the trailer race where you pull a trailer in a figure 8 on a 1/4 mile paved track, first one to complete 15 laps WITH your trailer wins, I got tangled with a truck about 4 laps in and put us way back in the pack, I drove the crap out of the car trying to catch up but I couldn't do it, I was over driving the car and not gaining any thing, I have a lead foot when I get behind and 400+ hp just smokes the tires out there, about 8 laps in we all had spread out and no action, I'm known in the area for being a hard driver that puts on a show for the crowd, so with the laps winding down, I lifted off the gas slowed way down to let the pack get farther out in front of me, I guess the announcer told the crowd they better keep a eye on me as it looks like I had a new plan of attack, and I did, one by one I ripped the trailer off the cars and trucks as we went through the intersection, the crowd loved it, my wife and kids said when I started hitting trailers and flat tracking the car and trailer in the corners, the crowd was on their feet cheering, this is what they came to see, well about 6 laps later I had ripped off most of the trailers, or hit them so hard that it sent the car or truck with trailer out in to the infield, so I could pick up the win, the track photographer told me that was the most excitement he had seen in a while, my wife and kids ran out on the track to congratulate me, and tons of people yelling from the stands, back in the pits I felt like a big name racer signing autographs I had a line at one time waiting for me, I enjoy it making people happy, being a entertainer, the family pushes me to keep doing it, they love me racing, I have raced for 30 years and it is not as easy as it used to be, I raced 25+ races a year not long ago, and now have no clue how I used to do it. Thanks to the wife and kids, with out them I would not have won. son Ryan, Me, Wife Mistelle, Daughter Hunter, son Nick 8 gal. of 110 octane race gas I used most of last night

Yes, I had to swap them. I think I used a set from a 1972 Charger 10.

I don't know about what Wheel Horse says, but for my Woods 6 foot finish mower, after you sharpen them take a file to the cutting edge and file it flat till it is 1/32" wide. So the edge has a flat in it, and not a razer edge. I don't know how much it matters, the edge won't last very long anyhow.

I like this. I've done the exact same thing with one of my Rangers. The 8-inch wheels up front with that tight Ranger steering works very well. The high steering wheel makes for a very comfortable sitting position for me as well. Very nice work! I look forward to the progress as well.

How many ball joint replacements? :ychain:

When I get back from vacation, I will take pictures of the 2 BRAND NEW "Straight from the Horses Mouth" books that were donated by Michael Martino for this as well! I don't believe that these books have EVER been opened! A chance to win is only $10 and 100% of the money goes to childhood cancer. You can buy a first edition book on eBay and 100% of your money goes to the guy selling the book! Gas prices are down, so why not take that $10 savings and take a chance on a real collectors item and to help such a fantastic cause! And Happy Birthday Tom! :hbd:

Don't forget about the movies he was in also. "No time for Sargents"...is a classic. Rest in Peace Andy.
