What is the point with the offset drivers seat? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The driver looks rather exposed. Wouldn't you want the roll cage over your head so if the car flips your head doesn't get rolled on?

I think they both need about 2x the tire. Looks skinny to me.

[q Got any more information on who built it Paul? http://www.smallfortuneracing.com/ I found the pics on this site so I'm guessing they built it. |

The offset seat may be a by product of some sort of sports racer class rule. I wouldn't use a Porsche engine in a sports racer though. Too heavy and two inefficient.

It could also be a scratch built autocross car for B-Modified. Might qualify as an old ASR or slap a dune buggy or kit car body on it and run in B-mod. Heck if that was a 2.0 liter 911 engine it could run as a modified tub D-mod car. Only have to weigh approx. 1400lbs with driver.
This car has been Dmod national champ for a few years running. Take the body off and it looks a lot like that 911 powered car. |

I'd wager its not an AX machine rather a track preped open cockpit prototype. Something like a mini Datoyna Prototype or ferrari 333sp.
The rear wing is not aggressively angled enough for low speed aero. Plus the front has no wing to balance the chassis. However if a body it'd act like a wing. Finally why have a flat undertray to manage the underbody air if your goning to leave the top all aero obstructed. Attached thumbnail(s) |

There is no way they run it with out body work. |

I think you probably nailed it Rough Rider. It was wishful thinking on my part calling it a DMod/EMod car.

I agree, you would have the baddest street car in town. 200mph with out too much trouble. You could beat the bikes with the right power levels. Unfortunately there is not much interest in the Asports racer class.

i love it. raise it a half inch and that would be a ripping hillclimb car. I talked to the owner of the shop and you can get one for less that I thought, but still an investment as always. Tempting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Bill and I were talking about the "Beast" yesterday. Now at about 1800-1900lbs (maybe less), with a 3.6, headers, a chip and big slicks, it would also be a great hill climb car. Also a very good AutoX car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
