The guy talked to said he was running 9's at 139!
I talked to a guy last night that is Drag racing a F500 car!
Has anyone else ever done this?
I never thought of it but could be fun to run some crazy times with these little cars.
Thoughts?
I just picked up a 1986 Red Devil maybe I will have to take out to a VARA event.
Thank you mark. It would cost a fortune to ship because of size and weight.
Thank you to everyone.
And RIP Brian.

A Lynx B is simple if no one has cut off the orgianl frame shock mounts. The Zero Roll set up was a simple bolt on easy to remove.
You will need a Z Bar and I have a brand new one from Fred Clark...

Thanks David. I was there in the early 80's and know Don. I have already talked with him. He thinks he may have the original drawings as well.
I also know Steve Lewis and knew Stan Fox as well....
Oh OK. I take it you know him
It was Augie Pabst
Hey Michael? do you know which car this is? I would think a very early one going by the flat bottom and the wheels.......not the centerlines used later.
Jeff

Thanks for all the input guys. A lot of good ideas to think about.
Jeff
Thanks guys. That is helpful. I was think of doing what Ed had suggested. But I do like the supports coming from the roll bar. And thank you for the picture.
Jeff
I was doing some test fitting in the Lynx I am trying to restore and have come to the conclusion that I need to widen the top of the cockpit.
My forearms hit the upper frame rails. Any advice or...
