We have just finished a project for a customer. We race 360 winged sprint cars and this one is 85% off the shelf parts, just like our racer. The customer sent us his 2001 Camaro LS1 engine and 4-speed automatic. The rearend is a Winters quick change, with a 4:88 ring. The suspension is a torsion bar with shocks. We raced it at our local 1/8 mile track.
With the customer not knowing about racing, he would leave the launch line when the lights turned green, so his launch was not fast. The electronics in the tranny needs worked on as it shifted too soon. But, with that said, it did run a 6.91 @ 103 mph. Getting it on then chassis dyno to work out the shift points and practicing on the tree, I'm sure it will get down into the 6.00 range.
You should have heard and seen the reactions of the tech guys, commentaires in the booth and fans in the stand to see a real sprint car go down the track. Pretty cool and a @hit load of fun, until the tranny case broke. lol
The last pic is the CAD drawing of the two seat, street legal sprint. My niece was killed while she was texting while driving. We have started a non-profit organization called, "Racer Against Texting While Driving". We will be using it as a tool, to educate people of this deadly situation. It may be the pace car at Eagle Raceway next year. We will attend car shows, driver safety courses, the State Patrol events ect.... I hope we can save at least one life ! :thumbsup:
Thanks,
Kevin
