Wish I could help but I got my Eldora used so the spoiler was already built. I hope someone else jumps in with some info for you. All I know is all the assembly on mine is done with rivets and and I'm not a fan. Maybe use plastic hardware.

Thanks, I am really unsure of how to cut, assemble and connect the pieces together.
Anyone else?
Thanks

If you can get over to the track on a Tuesday for practice or a Thur night or Saturday for racing, I'm sure there would be plenty of examples to look at and people to help with any questions. Or join Tea's website forum and ask on there. You'll probably get a quicker response.

Thanks again, I will try to stop by again this week. I hope to have my buggy converted to a late model by next week.

I figured I'd show mine just in case it can help. The center brace isn't necessarily needed but can add support. That looks like the hardest piece to make.

I had a blast racing yesterday. Thanks to everyone who gave me a hand with racing tips and set-up. With your help, I got my LLM running competitive in just a few hours.

Thanks

Phil and I were able to stop by and watch for a bit. I'm assuming you were running the green and yellow car. That thing looked good. Fast and stable. I hope you have fun with it.

Yes, I was the Flo.Yellow/Green car making laps. I have some work to do on it, but by the end of the day it was pretty stable and easy to drive. I am definitely hooked!

Well...I wasn't going to share that speed secret with everyone on here. I just threw that body together so that I could get racing. I turned it around last night and fixed the wing, so I hope that wasn't the only reason my car was handling well.

See you at the track

I have another really important question regarding Thursday night racing...

Is there food for sale at the track?

Thanks

I was told that the catering business is not there on Thursdays so I plan on bringing something with me. Tomorrow will be the first Thursday night I've made it too.

There's no food at the track on thursdays so you may want to stop and get something... Well if you consider candybars and pop as food then tea's has food..
