Thank you very much for your kindness! I’ll be sure and pass this along to Joe’s father Vic for what you’ve done to help on this. Lots of people are doing all sorts of different things around the slot car racers community, especially folks that post and read on the OWH forum and know just what the young man is going through. Not to mention his dad and mom. I have 5 kids myself and just don’t know if I could be as strong as these folks are if it were my son going through all this!

I’ve been keeping up with the thread “Joes Track” and noticed all the things people are doing for the boy and had decided I’d like to do a little something myself and contacted his father asking if it would be ok for me to build and send a couple of cars for the boy and his dad to race together on the new track Gary Gerding of “Gerding Fast Tracks” has built with what I think are donations from other slot racers and manufactures. I know it’s not much on my end but it’s something. There’s many others that have e-mailed me for the address (Which is now posted) that are doing the same thing, so the young man should have a nice well stocked slot box when he gets home from the hospital.

Also, even though Joe is still in the hospital and still in serious shape, I know just how powerful the smile can be for someone not feeling well, Plus I refuse to give up and will continue to think positive that the young man will improve, get home again, have the stuff he needs AND go racing on that new Gerding track! so this is why I’ve asked for the rush on the decals. I’d just like to get the cars there ASAP in hopes for just little smile, and his favorite drivers are the 20 and the 88 car, so figured that’s what I’d send.

Thanks again for your help and also deciding to donate these decals for Joe’s Cars!

Thanks you,

Ben Morrow

Well, the results were….confusing, I suppose. Thats not to say that the arms came back unbalanced or damaged, because they were all fine and they all run smoothly. Seeing how that was the first time Ive had arms rebalanced, I guess I wasn’t expecting how big an effect that might have.

With most of the arms, I notice that they now react a fair bit differently than before. Where one arm worked wonders with a 9-28 before, it now requires an 8-29 to perform the same way it used to. I suppose that could be a number of factors. A couple of the other ones seem this way too, so i believe ill have to keep playing with them until I find they run in their ‘zone’, as i would call it.

Tomorrow will be their first major tests. It is the NECC race at my local track, and 2 of my 4 cars have arms rebalanced by you ( the other 2 cars i did not send the arms ). In practice/testing today they seem to perform exceptionally well once the right gearing was discovered, and the arms definetly run smooth with no sign of roughness/vibration at all.

That being said, I am pleased with the work that you did. Hopefully I can get some of the guys around here to send some stuff to you in return for a job well done, as well as any other arms i need to have done in the future.

Pleasure doing business, – James
