New formula class rules change proposal

That's starting to look good. If your willing to get a mullet hair cut, I think we would take you.

I think a little work with a Sawzal or maybe a 7" angle grinder would clean up the aero and also help with the weight. One or two events in the FP class and you'll start whittling it down.

Have you tried putting it up on sawhorses yet?

Wear the mullet with pride! If you really feel a Mohawk would suit your spirit better, that might be OK too. It's important to have fun.


I'm glad your trying, FP is sounding a little lonely.

Hey Dan, it still looks legal for STGT.

Yikes.Beauty IS only skin deep..

[brucesallen]

Dan,
Now it is a kit car. SPC. Go for it!
Or get rid of the windshield, then it would be PC.

Grow a Mohawk or a Mullet Have you seen my bald head I wish I could but even Rogain won't help. The whole picture didn't come through in my post, if you think its ugly with what you see, check out the full pictures (if I do this right) below. I still have to mount the battery, but watch out Jonathan here I come in FP

Sorry Dan, I was trying to tease breakaway500 and I noticed it was you right after I hit submit. I can't help being silly sometimes and it has been a very stressful last few weeks. Why is it that after nearly 10 years I decide to get the car ready and run and then my mother, mother in law and sister in law all land up in the hospital in different emergencies over 2 weeks? Everyone is fine, but my head has been spinning.

So I hope you were not offended. On a side note, any chance we can run events in your back yard if we have trouble getting enough dates next year?

I've always been attracted to cars with a bit of a Mad Max aspect. If your going to run on a track, you just don't need or even really want most of the stuff they put in a street car. So I'd say that car is getting better...

[eastcoastbumps]

What puts the Atom in PB anyways? Couldn't you run it in SSU? Or SPB as a kit car?

[breakaway500]

The Atom is a tough car to classify,but I am just grateful to have somewhere to run it. It wasn't ever made in kit form,so technically it isn't a kit.

No offense taken , I though it was funny especially since I have no hair Mark (Breakaway500) does have hair .

I am undecided on the Lotus, do I put it back together as a track car or put all the interior and "stuff" back in it and use it on the street as i have in the past It would be cool to install the body using quick connectors.

[breakaway500]

I say put the stuff back in it..and you can use it for street or track.The minimal weight savings is not worth leaving out the stuff. If you want a stripper I can fix you up with an Atom.. or something from Piedmont street?

Dan, you could mount the body with dzus fasteners so you could run STGT with the body on, and run FP with the body off. Think how many more trophies you could win with this set up.

[DanDarcy]

I don't know Jonathan --- you know how my wife hates all the trophies now plus I don't know if I could find and exhaust system to get me that BuzzzzBomb sould like your FP and without that sound how could I be competitive ?

[breakaway500]

Found this on racing junk. Twin cyl Polaris power.(600cc) $4k,turn key. Look out,Jonathan!


Stuff a Hayabusa motor in there....

[horizenjob]

It's a little odd looking. What class would that be?

It has a rear bumper? The side pod is ginourmous, is that for downforce? The front wing is a little scary with no rear wing, designed for high speed over steer?

The above FF roller with a stock Duratech engine would a lot more interesting, IMHO.

[breakaway500]

I would say the Gi-normous pods are so the cars don't hook/lock wheels.I am sure they are empty. Look a bit closer and you will see the back wing.It is alu colored and hard to spot at first...but it's there.Big sucker. I think it would be a blast ripping around in one of these two stroke beasties. Briiiingg..a..dinggg..ding...! I would lose the pods and do something different with the rear bumper area. If it was local,I would actually go look at the car. Like I really need another car?.....Why not? I'd run it in formula,I guess. Why not? Chase Jonathan around...
