We had a weekend of fun here at Lane Motor Museum this weekend. If you were here and I missed you, my apologies - it was a busy day!
It will be a little while before I can get a video put together of the Summer Crush event, but someone had already put up a Youtube on Saturday night. In the related videos (right side of the screen) you will also see a Windwagon demo from Saturday.

We invited our guests to bring small items to crush if desired. We had several takers, and of the objects offered - "unbreakable" Tupperware cup, MagLite, bicycle helmet containing a canteloupe, a cell phone, and several Hot Wheels cars, only the cars survived unscathed! We believe they fit right in the tread pattern of the LARC, both rolling forward and back.
Next year we are talking about crushing our mechanics' Pontiac 6000. We want to see what happens to a fairly (no glass or fluids) complete car, with engine and tires.
