Dan McMahan has been feverishly working away for quite some time now trying to get the Scorpion ready for the Barber round of the F600 Challenge. He has discovered several areas that need to be modified from the original chassis delivered to us. Here are a few:
1. We have decided to change the chain layout from a jackshaft arrangement to a straight back chain drive. This has necessitated removing all the jackshaft assembly and moving the MC forward sufficiently enough for the straight back drive.
2. The fuel cell and seat had to be moved as well but still a good seat position.
3. The exhaust now comes down the right side and exits straight back - this gives us less heat to contend with in the sidepod.

The detail phase of this assembly is maddeningly time consuming as it always has been. This, along with getting all the final parts delivered in time and getting the homologation approval is going to bring this down to the final wire.

Note: We have photos in our phones but no way to get them posted here so help is much appreciated.

More updates coming.
