I am not sure if this even is at MOPAR events but on the British car side, we make valve cover racers. You take a valve cover, add a drive train and some weight and it is like a roller derby race ...but smaller

My drive train was made out of old roller skates like yours..

Here is a link to some pics..

Had a similar pair as a kid. Somewhat painful, but we could make sparks skating after dark.

nice sparks! lol I'm sure they were not super comfortable either there solid steel. only thing I'm missing is the key but a wrench works fine, i have then set to the smallest they adjust pretty big.

Very cool. I posted a pic of this little resto project on here months back and got blaster because it was not Mopar car related.
Car or not, it's cool stuff..
