 WHEEL DEAL

 

The Pitsco 

Wheel Deal 

is the ideal tool for CO

2

 dragster 

wheel assembly . The 

Wheel Deal 

is a hand tool designed with 

two comfortable presses, one for hub insertion into a wheel, 

the other for final assembly of the wheels, washers, and axles 

on the dragster . We've even included axle height locators as 

an added feature . No more stubborn hubs, broken wheels, or 

difficult axles – the Pitsco 

Wheel Deal 

is here!

 

The 

Wheel Deal

 is a unique four-in-one tool that 

simplifies the following tasks of dragster building:

• Marking axle height accurately

• Assembling wheels and hubs

• Inserting axles into wheels

• Mounting wheels on car (reducing car damage)

FASTRAK ELEVATED RACETRACK

 

Pitsco’s smooth-surfaced, elevated racetrack provides a great alternative 

to racing metric dragsters on the floor . The 

FasTrak

 simplifies the process 

of conducting races and improves viewing for spectators . Check out these 

outstanding features: 

 Self-aligning, tab-and-slot system guarantees flush joints between each 

track section .

 Custom-extruded, anodized aluminum rails provide strength and 

stability . 

 High-impact plastic track surface is strong, durable, and scratch 

resistant . 

 Shorter (eight-foot) track panels with fold-down leg supports are easy to 

assemble and to store . 

 Precision-made track supports ensure even height and level sit .

 

The 

FasTrak 

is designed to simulate a scaled-down quarter-mile 

racetrack . Because metric dragsters are about one-twentieth the size of 

real dragsters, the 

FasTrak’s

 racing distance, from start to the finish line, is 

20 meters, one-twentieth of a quarter mile . This simplifies mathematical 

comparisons to real race cars .

 

A staging area behind the start gate is big enough for four to five cars 

to be positioned in each lane . Adequate deceleration distance is provided 

at the end of the track for cars crossing the finish line . The 

FasTrak

 package 

includes 10 eight-foot track sections and 11 track supports .
