Mini A Arm Buggy for Kids

[TutTech]

Thank you very nice of you.
I do win some and I finish very well for the year as well.
But I am no professional so I do not receive cash or money. I receive discounts from all my
sponsors on products. Shoot I don't even receive free products yet.

Well maybe one day I may be good enough. But hey we started racing for fun and personal reasons
not for cash and prizes. My wife is taking over so it is up to her now.

We will see how well she does this new season.
Race is up already if anyone would like to come out and watch and help out in our pits.
The Race is Jan. 24 in Barstow off of Outlet Center. Race Starts Saturday 8 am.
Tech is the day before from 5 to 9 great time to walk tech see all the cars etc.

Bring your buggies have a great weekend and hang out.



Kern, Dang that's just crazy buddy. I served in the Military for 4 years in upper NY 30 minutes out of Canada and I understand TRUE COLD. Like you said I saw a few days of 30 below when I was there.
Not good for working and not good on your welds in that cold either.
Hey stay warm and get a dang heater in your garage your making me cold!!
Besides us California guys are just spoiled. We are used to 80 degree weather as an average temperature. So when it got down to like 7 to 12 degrees for a couple days I was cold.
Heck today we are supposed to be back up to 62 degrees here at my house you will find me
outside welding the heck away on my brothers car.
Take care stay warm.
Tut.

Tut when you say funding do you mean that one of us can fund a build for a kids buggy or just your own funding for a proto type?I'm sure that there would be some people on here that would fund one of your kids buggies?

What i'm saying is he willing to take an order to build one(funding)?The last time I talked with him I understood that he was going to do a prototype and figure out the engine type and tranny type etc....He was wanting to get it all done before taking any orders,but everyone knows his work so it would just be the motor?

I meant the difference between your area and mine

Kern I don't know how you even step outside?We are no where near that cold hear and I have had a fire going 24-7 for the last two months.I have my wife hear with the kids all day long so I don't have a choice,I have central heat but the wood is free and I like to break it up so my heating bill isn't outrageous.Besides theres nothing like the heat from a fireplace,if you have one you know what I mean.Tut lets get the kids buggies rolling and then we can race and the kids can race with a co driver,lol.Boy that would be some carnage,lol....

OMG!
I can barely keep up with the damage my brother and John just did to the 9
car last race! I can not even imagine watching my nieces and nephews who are fearless drive!!
Yikes!

I would never get to race again because I would just be stuck in the pits fixing everything.
I would not have a job because I would be full time prepping race cars in my garage.
I would be broke too!

Oh brother.... But yes one day it will happen, the little buggies will be out and racing along with
us big guys.


p.s. my wife and I have had a fire going a ton already this winter with the cold weather.
We just dropped in one day from 65 the day before to only 26 degrees! One minute
I am out side working the next I am freezeing and starting a fire. Plus we have bad winds
making it worse my nose wont stop running.
Yes we are spoiled you would love 26 instead of your minus 30-40 plus wind chill.
Dang.

Tut would protodies long travel kit work with your kids buggy?Maybe we could do that with a kids buggy,have you build it and then order protodies kit and have you install it?That way all you would have to figure out is the rear end.We could come up with our own motors,just a thought?
