Stupid hotlink thread and its stupid awesome pictures of stupid gravity racers. Like I need to add another project to my already full plate of stuff I won't finish. Anyone else want one? Good build threads? Lets see em if you got em.

I want one and live within 30 mile of the foot hills of the Appalachians but I am broke and can't transport it in my Camry. Ugh.

Froggy has the 4Runner now. You build one, I'll build one, Froggy builds one.
1.Build em
2. Race em
3. Beer consumption
4. .............
5. Profit?
I guess I could strap it to the roof to get it to the mountain. We could take turns using froggy's 4runner as the chase vehicle while the other 2 race. Brilliant!!!
Yeah, that whole thing got my racing ADD cranked up too, got me to wondering about cutting rolling resistance etc. I caarry enough talking ballast to beat any two of ya's though.

"Talking Ballast" is now added to my racing dictionary. Thank you, sir. If I ever make any money off of it, I'll send you some.
Luckily(?). I am in Illinois, can't be tempted by "hills"
I hate you people. I had almost gotten this idea out of my head yesterday.
YES, BUT THINK THIS WAY, YOU CAN DO IT CHEAPLY......
In reply to EricM:
I'm in MO so not much for hills here either. Not stopping the want.
I can walk a few blocks and find hills. Minnesota river valley has its advantages. We've scouted them previously for other gravity fueled shenanigans.
only hills here in south jersey are the ones they made for the highway overpasses
OK, THIS is not a coaster, but super cheap and simple. And fun. We've built five of them so far.
