Swoopyswoop 0 #14 March 29, 2004 beltsander racing has been around since the early eightys. There is actually a national sanctioning event for racing them and some pretty good money involved. Dont be fooled however, these arent your everyday makita belt sanders you get at the home depot. Some very serious manhours and money go into building a racer. I have seen some that can cost upwards of 3 or 4 thousand dollars to build. Pretty cool to watch them run national belt sander racing association www.beltsanderracing.com "when I die, I want to go like my grandfather while im sleeping, not like the passengers riding in the car with me Swoopster A.S.S. #6 Future T.S.S holder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
