  1. Alot of people ask me how to get the Harbor Freight wheels to work with the stock 3/8 radio flyer axle. The answer to that....copper pipe. This stuff works perfectly to bridge the gap and not allow the wheel to wobble around while pulling it. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/1375010_10152821786271907_3488297092382245318_n_zps2913f665.jpg As far as working on the wagon, I was able to get the fabric picked out and the seat cut. Just gotta sew the fabric up next, I am trying to keep these as individualistic as possible, while staying within the allotted budget. Luckily our local fabric store just got in 3 different patters, so the seat will be different than the last TMNT wagon I built. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/1897856_365957476895246_5863393636571896473_n_zps5de03964.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10357127_10152821776636907_4293176784095229213_n_zpsdee0e03d.jpg
  2. For sure, trails tech is an absolute joke and honestly the main reason I didn't race nearly as much this year as I have in years past. Every time I have gone out this year they have given me shit over something new and different than the last time. None of which is against the rules, they simply don't know the rules in the tech lanes.
  3. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I have said it and will continue to say it, ESPN and those involved with college football realize that no school pulls in money like Ohio State. Suddenly they are looking at potential playoff teams and games of Kansas State vs Ole Miss and realize that game is not going to draw ratings. Keep winning and OSU is in the playoffs
  4. He's the first QB since Smith to throw for 300 yards, I believe I read something projecting his numbers. He is on pace for like 3500 yards and 40+ TDs, not bad for a guy that was 3rd string coming into spring practice. http://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2014/09/40532/barretts-blazing-start-freshman-quarterback-on-pace-for-great-numbers
  5. LOL@ going 8.6 with no cage and only being talked to about your Go-Pro!!
  6. I got the wheels apart and painted tonight, personally I would've powder coated them but given the budget I had to work with, paint had to do. I am pretty happy with how they turned out regardless. All I have left to do is mount the shell, sew up the seat and put on the stickers and this one is done! http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/1794724_10152819497921907_3042230651635234424_n_zps11ba2bc1.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/10471514_365652810259046_1985204856767240653_n_zps663a0c00.jpg
  7. This surprises you how? Hahahahaha, I just know Wisconsins QB situation is horrible so I assumed the others were as well based on so many rushing yards. It's usually a good indicator.
  8. Haha, I mean maybe it just shows how bad their passing offenses are at those schools...either way I was surprised to see it.
  9. It's crazy how fast cars are getting. All motor K series go 9's on the regular now and the fast turbo Honda guys go low to mid 8's.
  10. Yeah that is my buddy Chauncey, that is another simple setup car that works well. Made right around 500hp and went a pb of 10.6
  11. I was looking at the statistical leaders so far this season and stumbled upon something that surprised me. Four of the top five rushers in the country are from the Big10. 1. Indiana Tevin Coleman 1192 2. Wisconsin Melvin Gordon 1046 3. Nebraska Ameer Abdullah 1024 4. Minnesota David Cobb 1013
  12. Ole Miss will drop to #6 and LSU will be in the top 15 once they win. I have been saying from the get go that a 4 team playoff was a joke. You have 5 power conferences to begin with, plus teams like ND and the Mountain West as already mentioned. There is going to be so much controversy come December that people will be begging for the BCS to come back haha.
  13. Yeah, it's a stock sleeve motor. He has a new setup going in the car next year
  14. I tinkered around on the TMNT wagon a little bit this weekend. Got the wheels and the stuff needed to make them work on the stock 3/8 axles. Tomorrow I might mask them off and paint em blue and mount the shell up. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/1901622_10152817060016907_6410443076311984567_n_zpsa1f28f6a.jpg
  15. Silver Civic is my buddy Larry and it went a personal best of 9.8@15x, backed up with a 9.9x
  16. Hahaha you're most likely correct. I am still waiting on S. Carolina to sneak back in the top 25 even with 3 losses. The polls are such a joke that the AP has 6 teams with 2 losses in it, but 1 loss Minnesota isn't.
  17. I ended up going to the pumpkin patch instead of the track lol. I am kicking myself in the ass for not going now though. Everyone I have talked to that went today all ran personal best.
  18. Lets see if I can go 3 weeks in a row with upset picks (I picked the Bama and Baylor upsets for those not keeping track) haha. LSU over Ole Miss I almost took Texas over KSU, but I just couldn't pull the trigger
  19. Haha i've been called an OSU hater and now a nutswinger, I am so confused!!! Yes I would put the current OSU team (not the one that played Va Tech) up against any one of those 4 you mentioned. I do not think the Mississippi teams are as good as their billing, Bama on offense does not scare me at all and Auburn isn't the same Auburn team as last year. I think Michigan State, Notre Dame, Florida State and Kansas St are as good as those 4 SEC west schools as well, does that make me a nutswinger of 5 or so teams? We will find out if they are better than Michigan State in a couple weeks and Oregon is Oregon. On paper in the pre-season they look like the best in the world, and then they pull an Oregon and lose to some shithole team, the same with Oklahoma.
  20. They shouldn't have been #7 to begin with in my opinion. Must be nice to be in the SEC and lose, you only drop a couple spots, still able to crawl back into top 5 in a week or two.
  21. The Southeastern Conference has reached a new milestone in The Associated Press college football poll, becoming the first league to place four teams in the top five -- all from the western division. Alabama is #4, LOL! Last week people were saying they weren't a good team, suddenly because they beat a bad A&M team they are world beaters. OSU as I predicted remains at 13, behind Baylor. Coaches poll has OSU at 12 and MSU at #5 ahead of Auburn. One team to watch that no one is really talking about is 7-0 Marshall. If they do undefeated, I don't know how they wouldn't have a case to make the playoffs over a 1 loss team. Wasn't the reason for the playoffs to give everyone an equal chance?
  22. Hopefully USC can beat Notre Dame. I personally think if you don't play in a conference championsihp game, you shouldn't be allowed in the playoffs. It is an unfair advantage to those teams that don't have to play 1 extra game (Big12 and independents).
  23. Haha thanks, part of me wanted to pick KSU over Oklahoma after watching ou/Texas last week. For some reason I just felt wvu at home was the game Baylor would drop. We went to the game today, I thought it was gonna be closer. Funny moment during halftime, Rutgers kicker was on the field warming up during script Ohio. Nothing like 100k calling you am asshole and cheering when you miss in warmups. I would almost bet that Baylor is ahead of OSU in the next polls, even though they lost to an unranked opponent.
