Went down to Tucson for Thanksgiving and the local paper had an article about the local karting track which somehow led me to The Death Race. Cool I'll dust off the old whizzer and have me some fun. But wait, whats this,open to any chinese 2 stroke?( guess thier afraid of 60 year old american 4 strokes LOL) So i tell the wife i know what i want for Christmas, Grubbe kit from Spooky Tooth.
Discovered this website one thing leads to another and i'm now in this deal about 4 times what the kit cost.Thanks to Sportscarpat for the tank Jim at Creative for the hub adapter and sprocket.
Wheels are from Husky with a front drum brake.Plans include red powder coating,solid white tires
and a brooks saddle to complete the boarbtrack look.Will post more pics when complete.

Doug,
Wow, very cool! It looks like your well on your way to a nice boardtracker. Nice choice on parts. I really like the wheels and the forks. If you want some boardtack drop brackets for your handlebars let me know. Also, I can't say enough about what an expansion chamber will do for your performance as it really opens up these engines. Oh, and don't forget to deck the head .040" and run the CNS carb. Hey, if your going to a real race let's see you kick some but!

Thanks Pat took some work to get the drum brake to work with those fork had to move the plates that hold the hub from inside to outside the forks and play with some washers to get the spacing right but thats what makes this stuff fun

Really nice. Pat's tanks are so cool and add a whole lot to that build. Look forward to seeing it all done and ready to ride.

Hey Pat don't think you've seen this one heres you tank powdercoated motorbike decal and a repo whizzer fuel bowl i got from memory lane for that vintage look

Wow, nice tank. Decals that big sure are a pain. This is great watching you guys customize your bikes with some of my parts on there, too. Makes my whole day! If you pull off the Whizzer engine on your Panther I'm buyin' the beer and shaking your hand. Totally cool. Let Quention do his thing.
