The Wife's Pine Car

My wife built (sculpted) from pine this masterpiece.

The Olympic Flyer:

Overall Adult Craftsmanship Award



She was very pleased with finally beating out her husband for the Craftsmanship award.  This was an Unlimited Class car and was 5th in the speed standings.  A bit of a shocker for those who purchased speed razor wheels.  These home modified BSA wheels performed almost as well with a separation of less than 1/2 a car length behind the leader.

Also of note, this car did not start out as an Unlimited Class car.  An ooppsie during the crafting of the helmet without a double check for length made the car to long to qualify for Pro Stock Adult.  Subsequently the decision was made to move the location of the sled back and the wheels modified for Ultimate.

A very nice car!
