LOVING IT!!!!!!! Wanna build a nice new little motor for it so that it’s totally reliable and runs like a sewing machine!!!

HAAAA.. You already want another motor for your race car…  Are you thinking big bore 36hp?  okrassa carbs and heads? big ol cam shaft!!!

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

Nope. Thats way too conventional for a car like bankshot. I’m thinking nitrous or something.

Maybe you need to hire me as your driver.

Thought you would be all over this idea! Don’t you have a rebuilt single port long block that might be for sale??????? 😉  😉  😀

I have lots of things for sale.

I vote we get that bargain 78.4 stroker Okrasa engine and put it together.

Make it a halfway serious/real car. Kick Dario’s ass again next year.

Go bankshot! The car needs to at least be as fast as it looks. It cant be a sleeper with spindle mounts! 😈

I actually think this would be a GEEAT idea… Assuming Eric is gonna do his series again.. We should all throw something together and race his series.. JUST DO IT!..   Imagine how excited Eric would be to have like 3-4 brand new excited racers…  😉  😉  I could easily be talked into this…  I am thinking something like Black Bart……  But maybe an aspirated motor.. 😉

God yes, please do this.  That car was ridiculous.  I can’t remember exactly, but wasn’t it something like 4″ raised and 10″ narrowed?

I like the idea of building junk as a joke. But its hard not to get serious racing. Class 11 baja for the win.

Yeah, like the drag racing version of the 24 Hours of LeMons.

I raised Bart 5″… and narrowed it 10″…..  it was pretty awesome..   I think I had some 6.5 and 4.5 BRM’s on it… I wish I could find one of those pics….    I think  I would be inclined to build something.. rather than buy something that already works…  Sounds almost dumb huh…. If your willing to throw down $20K or so.. You can BUY a turnkey car that hauls balls…  But.. that someone else’s car…  I wanna throw some of my idea’s together and just see what it will do…  Put a real tranny and a real motor in it though..   slow class if fine.. but I’m not gonna be happy doing 20’s……   Bart was too low…  I learned on Bart that 5″ raise is too much on a type 1… and I learned on my ghia.. that 6″ raise is too much for a ghia…..  I’ve had 2″, 4″, 5″ and 6″ tranny raised fast race car looking rigs.. 😉
