Re: lakester frame

["glen barrett" <speedtimer@charter.net>]

Just to add a little to the world of tubing there was a belly tank lakester
built by Hoffman & Markley that was bird cage construction inside the tank
body. The car is now owned by John Swanson and has a OFFY on board. The
chassis was upgraded in the roll cage area to meet the current rules and
should run at the May 2002 meet.
