edited to ditch the attachments, the scroll button vieweing waqs not optimal, shall we say.
the frame is constructed similarly to what's known as a "Haynes Book Locost" triangulated truss frame of 1.0"sq .065 wall tubing. The roll hoop (which I understand might need to have an angular brace added for track duty) is 1.5 OD x .095 wall DOM. Roll hoop bracing is 1.0 x .125 wall DOM.
its got 3-point manual seatbelts, whichI understand would need to be upgraded to 5 point, perhaps.
here's a link to the build log if you're interested.

I've put 4700 miles on it since I got it officially inspected the first time in march of '14, have not especially babied it. I commute in it ever day its not raining, or threatening to rain.
I do understand that this vehicle is not only scratch-built but also falls on that odd line between cars and motorcycles (its registered in MA as a motorcycle), and so might be a bit more than the club would be able to comfortably accept in their run groups, but hey a guy can hope, right?
I am also of a mind to attend one of tyour track days, (perhaps at Thompson that's only a 40 minute drive from where I am,) so whoever might need to - given that I don't gert a flat out NO! right here - could give it the once over.
Oh and as far as my track driving experience, I do have some - I did a few Porsche club track schools back ion the mid 90s, autocrossed a camaro Z28 for a couple years between 1997-1999, race an alcohol briggs four stroke Kart between 1999-2000 (got two trophies!) did an arrive and drive kart endurance race around 2001, and other various F1 Boston races, though no leagues. I also flagged coners at a couple PCA club races in the late 80s was an SCCA member for about 5 years around my autocrossing time blah blah blah. so, I know just enough to know that I don't really know much.
so, thoughts, comments? stay off our track, GTFO? What the hell is that thing?
