Kiersten and I ran open class most of the time and there is no way I could haul 80 pounds in and out 8 times! :D
I understand your point, and if the car was being raced wheel-to-wheel or hill climbed, I would probably not use the shot.
Given the relative dangers involved in Solo, I feel that the shot has...
It worked really well and with my daughter strapped in there was no way for the shot to go anywhere.
Just a side note. I placed the bags in cut-off denim pant legs. It was easier to grab, and I...
When my daughter drove my car, I needed to add almost the same amount. Since she needed to sit higher, I placed 3 25# bags of shot in the car so she could sit on them. Worked well and only took...
All I found was a listing that said RT5 and another car. Must have been an Anson! :)
With a little research, I found out that this car won in Milwaukee and finished second in the 82 championship behind Michael Andretti. Ed Pimm went on to win the 83 championship, but not in my car.
I have an 82 Ralt RT5 that was originally driven by Ed Pimm in the 82 Super Vee Pro Series. It's last club race was in 1989.
I purchased the car and have autocrossed it since. A number of...
I have two pair of Hyperco 2" x 5" springs. From appearance, they have never been used. I certainly have not used them. They have been stored in a smoke free and pet free environment.

I have some 2" x 5" Hypercoils that I purchased by accident. Some day I need to learn to read.
If you decide you want 2" ID, I would love to sell you mine. Let me know if you are interested.
Or just remove the foam and run with at least a half a tank of fuel. Should get you by until the off season. Many vehicles run without foam and seem to have no problem.
I don't know about the "great guy" :-) but the car is beautiful! The asking price is higher than a used up road race car but in the long run a bargain.
I hunted for quite a while, even purchased one that was going to work. But it didn't. Finally made the old one work with a little creative engineering.
I ran a Formula Ford (Lotus 61) in B Mod for several years with the motor upgraded with a cam and Webers. I may still have the jetting information if anyone would be interested. It was a lot of fun...
