Sweet ride! I liked the weight arrangement on the front axle. Is that a sort of lead-made sleave?? I need one like these!

Thanks Ricardo. It's 2" exhaust pipe tig welded together in the same profile as the front axle and filled with lead. Held on with 4 bar clamps and a steel angle supports it on the bottom. It put 32 pounds out in front of the axle. Had a total of 60 pounds on the front and would still smash the wheelie bar.

Hey Mike, how's it going!
The same guy that built our old one,(Wizard Race Cars) built our new one off a set of blueprints that we bought from Frank and Scott. Very nice blueprints/instructions BTW. It's a 225" with the motor 48" and a much more comfortable cockpit. I'll try to post some pics
Tell Ted I said hello. See ya'll in Ardmore
