This blog was started to share the building of a replica board track racer. Keep checking back for new pics and useless ramblings. (Remember to start at the bottom of the page and work up - the latest posts are listed first.)
Thanks for stopping by.

Reworked the stand a bit yesterday. Planned on redoing it with channel steel but the tube stand is more what the Cyclone class B stand looked like so I stayed with it. The factory race class machines of course had no mounted stand. I bent the legs wider adding a new cross bar. I also added gussets. The bottom 1" or so on each leg is a solid round plug to decrease wear. I turned a shoulder on each plug to fit snugly in the legs then brazed them in.
