Old & Busted Racing

A huge thank you to the Whatcom Demo Derby Club for letting me jump the Chenowth this past weekend before I go in for yet another back surgery to repair multiple fractures in my spine next month. No, the jump did not bother my back at all thanks to a custom brace I made! I WILL live life on my terms and when I do lose use of my legs again, the cars will all get hands controls and the motorcycles will become trikes! Being permanently disabled will never dictate my life.

And they walked away 3. Dylan and I had a good time with only $10 in damage to the Chenowth, but found I need to get some high quality harness pads to protect our necks!

Third Jump @ 1 Minute Mark

Dylan and I kind of didn't have brakes for the second jump in this video. I should have put the mud tires up front so I could actually turn in that pit. :-)

First & Second Jump at The Derby

The RX7 is alive and well. It has received a new heart by way of a Borg Warner T-66 turbo out of a John Deer Tractor. A huge boost for that little 1.3L rotary...

Our current line up of Indian Scout Sixties and of course the Evel Twin.

The Chenowth is almost ready to be loaded on the trailer. The pedal assemblies and braided lines are holding fluid. The tank and manual on/off valve are plumbed. The body panels are coming together even though this is the thickest vinyl I have ever worked with. Now to install approx 100' of wiring with no instructions. That's just how it goes when you are building something from the frame up.

A very productive and busy day in the shop today getting the Chenowth ready for it's State inspection to make it street legal. I have printed all of the RCW's to help them with their own laws to ensure it passes. :-) So thankful I re-wired the wall A/C in the shop!
