Powertool racing

[Andy Mac]

Hi there,
I didn't know whether to place this with Tools and Machinery, or even Health and Safety, but here it is!
If you run out of things to make; decide that power tools are too good to spoil by actually using them; or can't decide if you're a woodworker or a rev head, these sites may be of interest. BTW, I haven't actually seen this stuff, but it looks mildly entertaining...:cool:

Hi Cliff,
I can see now that Midge beat me to it, just goes to show I don't get out of the shed enough!
That is a fascinating thread of misc. websites, thanks.

Cheers,

I bet getting insurance could be a bit of a problem. It looks like a bit of a laugh and it appears that they take it serious in the States. I will have to round up some old power tools.

Regards Mike;)
