The Pigeon Racer by dbBrad & Irish Welding


Jimmy and I have teamed up to make a car. Here it is in front of his shop. We were considering an electric motor run by two batteries and a solar panel and actually driving the cart to race day in Langley, 3 miles away. Limited turning radius and LPD would prohibit this.



The cart was truly design built. We started with a wood beam and two bicycles and a few sketches. We cut up the bikes, bolted the wheels onto the beam. When we saw problems developing we detailed a solution which always took our design down a slightly different path from doityourself to creativechampioncart!



Some plexi gleamed from the dump gets fashioned into a windscreen. Joe of FBI studios will be creating some graphics for our cart.


Jimmy and I will both be down at the pits early Saturday, with tools, to help fix any problems other carts may have so we can have a fun safe race day for all!


Special thanks to helpers like Michelle, Helo and Thom and Gracie. Without their help we may not have finished projects like the single lever for both back brakes.
