I was anxious to post pics of this super-cool build, of Dave Crevie's, but with 5 parties, over the weekend, I wasn't able to get around to it.
 
He's done these in the past, as he's the maker of the resin body, but I don't remember if I've posted pics with the body off.
 
While more at home on the drag strip, I took about a dozen laps, with it, Saturday night, on the Fiedler Flat, before I closed, managing a 7.66.
 
That would be a similar time, a new guy, in the Mid-American Superstock, Hardbody class, would turn. (180-200G weight, .032"/.050" minimum clearance, 4002FK motor)
 
If you looked at the center of gravity, you would be quite impressed, with the time, this Falcon II powered car turned.
 
If anyone is intrigued with this car, I am putting it up for sale in the Racer Swap Shop.
 
If it doesn't sell here, I'll move it to one of the FB drag car pages.
 
I don't care if it sells, or not.
 
I would like to see it go down the strip, which I hope to get back on, when things slow down here.

One of the great details of this car, not seen in my pics, is the soldered guide tongue standoff, made from K & S rectangular tubing, so it's at the right height.

 

Looking at the first picture of this car, and how perfectly the guide shoe sits in the slot, I just can't help thinking about H & R adjustable rollers , and how awesome that already great selling item, would be, if it was designed with the guide blade more than a 1/3 of the way in the slot.
