Built by Tony who used to crew for Norman, I remember having the discussion with him in the Blinking Owl cafe. It was street legal, it also had no radiator. Street legal does not always equal streetable.

[Upatdawn]

Personally its a car thats stood out for me. Well ahead of its time. Youre talking early 90s. I dont think there is anything saying you cant run methanol on the street. I guess VP100s the same?

The bodywork on this is stunning. Take a look 'round the pits at the pod and see how many 6 second cars look like this. Lights, grill and working windows! Running awesome times with a lot less aero than some of the full race cars at the same level. I love this car, it could not have been done any better, brilliant.

Agreed. It looks epic in the flesh, a very high quality build.

Looks a challenging class Street Eliminator with the rules/limits they have. Suprised what they get out of those cars.

I dunno,but when we're done with this record someone will have to build one to take it back..

How do you incorporate a handbrake system in to racing calipers that dont have the mechanism fitted to them.
