I think I saw this on Facebook marketplace in New Hampshire for sale. Just a rolling frame, no body but, the cage matches the picture

Yes, red car with #2 was Alex Miller. It has been a few years, since I last saw him. Used to live in Oley, Pa.

I remember Alex Miller had a fast one in the Northeast. One of the coolest looking cars to run in DSR.

That was Larry Shaffer's Stinger that he drove in PA hillclimb series in late 70's and early 80's. He gave up on the car and went back to his Bugeye Sprite running vintage events. Except for the...

Clint,

03 thru 06 are 636cc engines, 07 thru 12 are 599cc engines. He is using a 599.

Tom,

I think you are referring to my old car, EV-1 and it is an 84 not an 86.

Engine was a Noble( ex- Ian Smith runoffs engine) but, was redone by Autowerks. Ralph Minotto updated the...

Looking at the list, only Stan Vann and Rick Shank that I know run hillclimbs but, we do have others not on the list and maybe my Reynard someday. Check out the old results on www.pahillclimb.org ....

You are correct, we usually see a 15hp gain over a similar gas 600cc bike engine. Hillclimbs usually only have about 10 to 15 minutes of track time per event, no need to carry large amounts of fuel.

The fastest car was George Bowland's Amod BBR car but, he sold it for a Cheetah S/R with his 2 stroke. Otherwise, we have a couple of ex-CART indycars, P1 sports racers, a Hyabusa powered Jedi, GT2...

What if, we take a micro sprint and add a LeGrand style nose with boxy sidepods/fenders, stick a diffuser out back. Yes, I know that the micro has a very short wheelbase(about 62"), straight axles,...

I recall a Wheeler Fsv that was chopped up into a sports racer that looked similar.

Thanks, guys for cleaning up the gearing differences.

As far as turbo Mazda with a Hewland MK5, we had one running the hillclimb series with about 400 hp in a Reynard 84SF with a Sprint car wing....

Brian,

FM has a VW transaxle that was machined to take stardard Hewland/Webster Mk9 gears. Mk5 and Mk8/9 share the same Vw transaxle, except the Mk5 has a larger diameter and stonger layshaft. ...

Tim,

John is using MK5 gears; which would require some machining to your gearbox in order to work. Let me know if, you are going to go this route; I have a hillclimb MK5 first and second that...

Tim,

NO, Find out from either Moreck or John Finger, current owner of the Moreck Reynard, and find out what they used or have for a transaxle. Moreck's Reynard was a handful under power;...

How about a Daytona prototype version, known as the late Tijuana Taxi?

Stan,
This not a new idea, but...

or we can have this little number, a standard bug with an aluminum body.

So, this is going to be the model for the new class? Ball joint front end, swing arm rear, LeGrand nose....

I think this is neat, the coolest thing that I ever saw was the ISMA SuperModifieds running at Flemington Speedway, doing 150+mph, 11 second laps around a 5/8 mile paved oval with their active top...

Tim,

Second is next to fourth! Shift, shift!!! Jump is best done by turning below the jump aiming the right front with the white line and wheels squared to horizon. Car usually lands with left...

Lol, i know that you still road testing the car. This weekend at Jefferson will be a good place to practice racecraft.
Take time to do things smoothly.

Yeah,it hurts my ears, all the missed shifts that you and your pal do. I would check out the dog rings soon!
You
also missed a few apexes and
backed off going thru oh ****.

Larry Snover was from Lansdale, Pa and had a Brabham in the early 70s. Last time, I saw him was about 6 years ago, hillclimbing a speedster.

Rich

Thom,

That car spent a lot of time on the Samba site. I think it used to run solos with Philly Region in the early 90's as a SoloVee. The guy from DE called it a Bobsy but, the body doesn't look...

The Nediv PHA series has a Solo Vee class, othereise the car would be a Special or a FS. Either way the car would need a formula spec GCR cage, TT fire bottle to run a level3 or 4 event. I believe...

Russ and Scott,

This is a vintage car, it should be left as close as possible to it's orginial form. I have seen perfectly good vintage cars get cut up to the point that they are worth nothing...

Why???


I would have tried to use a 13b rotary or a Subaru WRX engine before reinventing the wheel with a M/C package. Both of these engines are close to the same weight and length as a Type 4...

We have a whole series of SCCA events in and around PA. Check out www.pahillclimb.org .

09 Schedule
May 23-24 Jefferson TT(clockwise), Summit Point, WV
June 13-14 Weatherly HC, Weatherly,...

GC,

It is ok! I doubt a FB could keep up to an Indy car, Bowland's Winged A mod car,or a 400hp winged turbo Rotary Reynard F2000.


Rich

Aw, shucks. You guys can do 150mph side by side but, the thought of 100mph on a 2 lane public road by yourself is crazy.
