Old man WINTER

Alright I give up already. Just take your snow, cold and frozen rain away and replace with warm sunny peaceful weather, a fast tacky hilly mountian bike trail, and oh ya dry fast race track. Is that really to much to ask?

DAYTONA 500

Well that was kind of a let down.  I wonder how many people in the stands can stick around for Monday's race. It's has to be a very tough decision to pull the plug on an event as big as this one. Another reason to go road racing in the SCCA! Rain or shine we're out there! I remember using FASTMOM'S hair dryer thawing out the radiators one year!

REDESIGNED WEB SITE!!!

Ok people, ckeck out the new and improved www.FASTDAD.net. Some things go well, this redesign went really well. Not only is it larger, it's easier to navigate! We eliminated a page and put the store merchandise on the front page. So not only did it turn out great it's been completed about a week early!!   This is all due to our web site developer : Minneapolis Web Marketing.com. Great people to work with, need any web site stuff, contact them.

HARD AT IT!!

Hard at it here in the garage. New ideas keep coming and making them work is fun.

STRATEGY

STRATEGY-WHAT ISIT! You have this plan that you thought up. You've probibly been thinking about it for awhile now. It sounds crazy and may cost a few bucks. You've never done anything like this before. It'll take planning to put into action.  Puttting into action is the same as pulling the trigger. So now you've pulled the trigger.  The larger question at this point is are you ready for the consquences. My suggestion, play it all out in your mind as part of your strategy. Include it in the planning, from dismal failure to very successful.  When you reach the other side of your strategy be sure to turn around and see where you've been. Strategy, it's a plan, your plan, you pulled the trigger, you pay the consequences or reap the rewards, and that is what makes it scarey!!

PROGRESS

Race car progress is coming along. I've started on the mods to the cooling system. I'll post pictures as I progress on the fabrication of parts. There will be some very positive changes coming to FASTDAD'S web site. These will be given top priority simply because this is the income side of the equation. So this will be happening soon. I'm also working on ideas for new merchandise to fabricate. Alot  going on and all of it positive so keep checking as things will change for the better!

NO COMPUTERS HERE!!!!!





So, what does it take to build this? With no computer assisted manufacturing, so all done by hand, it takes precisely built jigs to hold the various pieces in place. This makes it repeatable for all hole locations for drilling the holes in the aluminum angle, center bearing location, caster location etc. It takes far more time to build accurate jigs that to actually build the product. There are 68 seperate drilling operations on each LAZY SUSAN! The thing that makes it so important is all the holes need to line up so bolts can be inserted thru the aluminum on each side and pass thru the Melomine! Thats three seperate holes that need to line up! The photos show some of the operation just to give you an idea and the bottom is a finished LAZY SUSAN!!! Buy one to keep your tools/parts in order! It'l hold 500lbs! Heres how I am using the first one I built! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AUY_0W29EU&context=C335a43cADOEgsToPDskIBekt8wjq7V74-y7r8B5Br
