(edit...
Oh... by the way... team 45's 6wd uses only 3 different custom fabricated parts this year (not including bumper mounts). All of these parts can be made with a band saw and drill press. Stop by the pit in Atlanta and the kids will give you a tour.

So you just added tread right over the flat gum surface? Interesting... Too simple to be true it seems.
How did it work out?
