After 12 years building it My little brother took his streetable sprint car to the drags. He ran an 11.07 he needs to change from a 3.73 to a 4.30 to see if it improves. The chassis was originally built by Kenny Niemier about 30 years ago. He has a speedway Vicky super modified glass body that fits on it.

That looks like fun to me.

I'd like to see the police's reaction.

How would you license something like that in Ohio? GPster

And I thought a Cheetah was about as little car as you could wrap around a person.

Anything Sprint Car brings back memories of when my then-employer sponsored a World of Outlaws car.

As a dune buggy.

Yeah not much use for any highway friendly final drive ratio there.

Reminds me of a Charles Bronson movie series.

He called yesterday. He changed to a 4.71 rear axle ration and got it down to a 10.41.

Fast car!

6/10 second on a gear change , thats a lot !

I have my opinions. I think he has too much cam, and not enough convertor. I also believe that two Edelbrock 500 carbs could be part of the problem too as he hasn't dialed them in yet, and says he is too rich.
