Hi Folks Last year someone told me about rocker cover racing, wich is a daft way of using old engine rocker covers. So, being rather daft myself :loco: i gave it a go and won, and yes there were others there,so not bad for a first attempt. Now in order to drum up a bit of real competition i thought some of you guys that live close to south Cheshire might be persuaded to have a go this year. :poke: There are a few rules (about four i think), but the basic idea is to stick four wheels on a rocker cover,decorate in as daft a fashion as you can think of, and away you go. :scratch: No motive power is allowed just gravity on a track about 30ft long with a ramp at one end to get things rolling. I would post some photos on here if i knew how, but when i read how to on another thread!! :jaw: something about stick your pics in a bucket, stir in a load of silicone valley computer shorthand (being polite here), and bingo all is revealed. If anyone is that interested i have managed to post some pics on www.model-engineer.co.uk under the name Magpie, and if you need any more info please send me a PM. Cheers Dek :thumbup: :nrocks: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: |

Very cook Dek :headbang: I like the tin man one best :borg: When I get back into the workshop I will have to concider making one out of my second cossie rocker cover.... Are you allowed 16v turbo cam cover racers? :scratch: We will have to work on you getting videos on here too! :D Ralph. |

Hi Ralph "TIN" man indeed. As if i could afford TIN. His name is Rollover and he is made from best quality brass, ally, stainless,and any other nice bits of scrap i could find. I have no doubt that when you are introduced to him, he will shout at you for calling him "tin one" :lol: :lol: :lol: Any rocker cover will do as long as it fits the rules----Max Length76cm-Width 22cm-Hight 25.5cm-Weight 4.6kg. There are a few more rules but they are the main ones. So you can spend a bit of recovery time thinking how to make yours :poke:. My grub is ready so PM to come, Cheers Dek. :coffee: |
