Re;..... Bob ! VERY NICELY crafted car there !!! I love that chisel
nose !
I already had seen several pics on a Maxton photo spread ..... they were
Bill Bennett's pics, right ? Some good shots there !
Why not send yours to Jon' s Picture Post gallery for all to see ?
...... ALSO, how about a bit of info on that unusual powerplant ......
What is it / out of WHAT / approx. HP / revs it can live at / the
displacement ..... yeah, we know :" K ", and anything else of interest !!!
What does the car weigh ? It looks like it would be right at home
throwing dirt at a hill climb, or tearing through a chicane !!!
Thanks, Bruce

................................................Thanks Bruce,glad you approve
of my different hot-rod. It's a 1989 scca formula 440 road racer that i'd
used for auto-cross and converted to LSR specs after discovering this list.
The engine/drivetrain is basically snowmobile type w/ cent clutch and
water-cooled 3 cyl Rotax 500cc. We got about 130 hp at 10,500 rpm when we
last dyno'd and felt it was enough to be competitive. The car is about 10 ft
long, 80 in. WB, 54 in track on 20 in tires on 10 in wheels and 700 lbs
loaded (me,incl) It makes a hellacious noise and is still pull start. We
have an outside chance of making Maxton this next (june) meet if we feel
ready...again..We found out the hard way,like the man said you can't bring
along enough stuff when you go racin' .....I'd like to get some pix that are
more presentable,as in finished ,to post,so please hang on a
while,OK?................Bob,not that bob,Wanner
