Robi is right, I was looking for an Indy, but I bought a Polaris 'wedge' helmet, get a wedge' (different companies make that style) it rocks, but the face shield it comes with blocks my 'lower' view, so I need a different shield without all that black border on it.....was off the Bay for $35 bucks (cant beat it)

McDONALD’S® ANNOUNCES 25 “STARS” FROM FIRST-EVER ONLINE GLOBAL CASTING CALL
David Dean from Grandview One of 25 Selected from 13,000 Applicants to be Featured on Global Packaging
Seen by Millions Around the World
(COLUMBUS, OHIO) (August 9, 2006) -- McDonald’s recently announced that David Dean from Grandview, Ohio, was selected as one of 25 “Stars” to be one of the new faces on McDonald’s packaging. Beginning March/April of 2007, these 25 people will be featured on McDonald’s most prominent packaging – cups and bags -- and seen by more than 50 million people a day worldwide. Dean’s entry was selected from 13,000 submitted from consumers in more than 100 countries.
From April 3-May 31, 2005, David, along with thousands of consumers around the world submitted a personal story online at www.mcdglobalcasting.com of what he loves. A digital photo capturing the essence of his story was also submitted. Dean’s entry was selected because it captured McDonald’s “i’m lovin’ it®” spirit, which celebrates real people, real passions and real stories.
David Dean is an extreme sports enthusiast and street luge world champion, traveling the world racing street luge. He started racing in the mid 90’s, turned pro in 2001 and is one of the most successful riders in the sport. He is originally from Johnstown, Ohio, but currently resides in Grandview.
“We are so pleased to have a winner from Columbus. McDonald’s is very excited to provide Dave with this unique opportunity to have his image seen by millions of customers around the world,” said Nick Epifano, McDonald’s owner/operator and president and of the McDonald’s Central Ohio Marketing Cooperation. “He is certainly an inspiration and we look forward to seeing him on McDonald’s packaging early next year.”
Dave will join the 24 other selected “Stars” from Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America and North America the week of August 21 for an all-expense-paid trip for each of them and a guest to London, England. The “Stars” and their guests will enjoy tours of the city (including Windsor Castle and Tower of London), croquet party, tickets to the smash hit musical, “Mamma Mia!” including a meet and greet with the cast, and celebration parties.
While in London, Dean will participate in a photo session with renowned lifestyle photographer, Nick Clements, who has worked with world famous celebrities and fashion magazines. Clements will capture each “Star” showcasing what they love to do from wind racing in Poland, to playing drums in Brazil, to pole climbing in Taiwan, to being a street luger in the United States, to swing dancing in Australia and more.
“I’m very psyched about being involved in this campaign,” said David Dean. “Not only does it give me a chance to work with a brand I love, but I’m hoping it will also help build global awareness for street luging, my personal passion.”
This new McDonald’s packaging campaign will be an extension of the current “i’m lovin’ it” packaging that features themes of inspiration, passion and fun. Dean and the other selected 24 “Stars” will join the ranks of famous faces who have been featured on McDonald’s packaging, including Olympic athletes, tennis superstars Venus Williams and Serena Williams and basketball sensation Yao Ming.

Scroll down and check out the TRS pics I posted. I know you are looking for a pegged sled but with you small size you would dominate with a small pegless on technical stuff.
Contact Steve Fernando stevefernando@hotmail.com. Tell him Justin sent yah.

Swap out the kingpin bolt for a grade 9 bolt, add stiffer bushings and flip the hanger over and you have a R2B truck.
