cox powered tether cars

Since I have not ever actually used a real tether car I can't say for sure. There is a park in just a little into the city that still has a tether car ring and I just happened to be there when a few old buggers were starting them up and letting them go. I had to go over there for sure when I noticed they were running Thimble Drome Champions. They had them attached to the center post in the ring by a wire line and a harness on the car. I only really remember telling them that I have some reproduction ones from Nylint and collect Cox Thimble Drome things. Those little cars really haul! I haven't seen anyone use that ring since. I really don't know if it is even still there as the last time I drove past the park, they were repaving the paths and they also built a big garden with benches and all that. I really should go see if it is still there, I wouldn't be surprised if it is gone because it did kind of look like hell with a rusty center post and the cement ring with cracks and parts of it crooked and so on. Anyway, I have built prop rods before, but those were RC. I have always thought about taking one of my Nylint Thimble Drome replica cars and turning it into an engine powered car. Those replica cars also came with copies of the original paperwork that would have came with the actual Thimble Drome cars, I'll have to try to scan those soon.
