Tighten it up until it loosens. Then back off 1/4 turn.

Crew,

It wasn't. It's "I-25 Speedway (http://www.i25speedway.com/)" used to be called "Beacon Hill" South of P.P.I.R. just North of Pueblo.

Number 60 is a glass car. If you notice how wide it is.ie trunk back window area. This car is assembled in a mfg area in Colorado by a man whose first name is Ken but I dont recall his last.it uses a metric GM frame and the body is wider to cover the frame rails.Thanks for the photos. Bobby..

I built the chassis for a bunch of these (13) about 25 years ago. Most are still running and being used at vintage events in Canada.

The Ozark Vintage Racing Association is holding their Hillbilly Nationals October 1st and 2nd at Thundervalley Speedway in Fayetteville Arkansas. The best way to have fun with old cars is to race them.
