Damn this guys look as happy as the guys at BP at Imperial Burger, they serve Mexican food also and they are huge, but not that huge! 
Thanks for all the comments guys, it was appreciated. 
I put all the stuff together but still need a body!
This is the last pic of it and lets hope it does well at BP?
I guess it comes down to my driving!

Hi
It doesn't matter if it drags. It only matters that Nesta has built and now knows it ain't no big mystery. There is nothing wrong with success or failure, only in letting yourself be talked out of trying because you fear getting it wrong!

If it was hinged in the front it certainly would drag but as it is, it's really not any different than a torsion car we make out this way with an "L" shaped wire soldered to the pan going into a square tube along the bracket.'Splain to me how those pans are not going to drag on the track when it's running?

I remember Ray tellin' me about those burritos and the place that made them. I gotta GET me one o' dem!!!
I gotta also say "Well done!" to Nesta on building a chassis! Do you feel that feeling, Nesta? Feels good, don't it? To quote a line from a song by Spirit off their "12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus" album... "Life has just begun...".
Go forth, young Nesta, enjoy all that comes with scratchbuilding and fail along with the rest of us.
I wouldn't have it any other way.

Well I crash tested my rides today and I'm proud to say they where tough! Here is the my ride in A-main before the little rider situation! 
Have to say it was build for the King track and Paul Sterret tried it out and made a time of 4.4 on white he did the same with the Duran copy that I build it was the car he won with at the Check Point.
Well back to topic, the black sheep by it self!
I became a rider after the second heat and power was never turned of, oh well it broke the axle and bend the pan but the hinge never broke and there was not grim on the pans.
Foamy was there and I showed him my car.
The winners in the "Fight in a Phone both" congrats to the guys.
My second built CanAm car on this exiting race day.
Same thing happen to my Duran copy during practice, but it was my fault because I put it down on the wrong lane and it got walled?
I guess I'm a very lucky guy or I need to stop drinking my Wine or drink more of it?
Chassis V got the pan bent up a bit but I will use Bondo on it and sell it on E-Pay!

Lesson don't race cars that are build for a King track on a Kingleman!

It isn't funny. Warmack and Chevy make great chassis. You snapped two cheap axles today.
Stop using cheap axles on quality cars. End of problem.

The good news is that I got them fixed and they are ready to rock on the King. I sure hate when my stuff is broken, now I can go to bed and dream about another day at BP!
It sure was a fast ride, way to much for me!
