I like that a lot. kind of what I have in mind, but not that long.

I suspect the wheelbase reflects the
anticipated speeds, and matching budget.

Those pics are over a year old.
It would be cool to see any progress.

The tread width measurements we  were talking about are measured from the center of one tire, to the center of the other tire. The ones you mentioned apply only to the Vintage class, and only running fenderless.

When the rules are explained, some of them make sense.

But they are not written that way.

Boy it would seem that this project is going to die before it had a chance to take off.

i haven't quite figured out WHAT the plan is
a bonneville car and a drag car are too far apart to do either well :?

even at that, i'm getting deeper and deeper(money-wise)in this stocker project of my own.
rambler stuff ain't cheap (if you can find it)...

What the plan is, is a well done drag car. One that would be possible to put on the salt. It would need to be rebuilt to do that though.

This will be a car that can be run by a small group, supplying their own power, in our chassis.

As it stands right now, we don't have enough participation to make a go of this. I am waiting until the end of the month, and if it stays as it is, I will return the funds, and donated parts, and come up with another idea for a RRT project.

I get the feeling that some are feeling excluded from this, and if you are, I am sorry for that. It was never the intension to exclude any one.

hold on big feller!
i don't feel excluded, it just doesn't seem too practical to ship that sucker to me and wait until I get around to working on it.

just a logistics thing, i seem to be the only one in colorado besides midnight son and i THINK he's over on the western slope, like grand junction (closer to sumner)

i don't think anybody wants you holding the bag on what you've spent on the crosley (not the bald one from AZ)

i'm just not sure what i can contribute BUT i'm sure there'll be something...

Didn't mean you. I am not upset with any one. I realise what the money situation is for most of us now days. don't worry about me getting stuck with this, I can get my money out of it.

I figured the project would be 2 years long at least.


The way I seee this project happening is the east coast guys ( Ohio , Michigan)  will be into the car for the large part of  labor.... it seems that way since Frank and Frank are starters of the project , found a body , etc.

Moving the car around the USA for construction could prove difficult and costly.

Money is tight and the economy will not recover much in 2009 ( my opinion).. my work place is doing OK right now , not sure if that will hold.

At 50 bucks a share it will take many shares to buy the needed materials and parts to construct the car.

You are in the same time frame I am Tony. After going to Cobo today, and talking to some racer buddies, I am recharged some today. We will see where this goes.
