I have a wing chassis etched 'Sano.'

Does anyone know what this means?

Possibly built by 'Sano' Dave Fiedler if it looks like this...

Rodney, I do remember this slang tossed around the track in the '60s.

If you posted a photo, it would be easier to determine what you got.

If you bought it on eBay through Mid-America, it most likely is from 'Sano' Dave Fiedler, as Roger sold off Dave's collection for Dave's family.

If so, it's probably something 18-25 years old.

When I held the first Sano, in 2007, where Dave picked up that nickname, he hadn't raced wing cars for quite a while.

Its etched Sano, a floated wing chassis that runs like a raped ape.

Like Bill mentioned, if you are trying to find out the brand of chassis, you have to post a pic.

And when you say etched, do you mean hand engraved or lasered?

He was going to take a picture, but there was too much smoke from the motor blowing up...
