Axel and multi-sprocket

Got the vehicle on the tracks today, rode from Sebastapol Rd. to 3rd street.... cutting the plants with the front of the car the whole way.

Just as I hit start on the stopwatch to time myself from third to 6th, the rear axel broke. This is just another reminder to get those vehicles on the tracks early.... lots to learn before raceday.
