Tommy Saunders Dragon SR1

I am putting this out here as a favor from Tommy's family. They would like to see what interest there would be in his car if and or when it goes up for sale. Tommy had just spent around 10K on rebuilds and updates over the winter. George Dean did a complete build with major updates on the 06 Yamaha, Taylor racing refreshed the Diff, Kurt Janish at Janco rebuilt and braced the front half of the monocoque, new axles and CV's and alot of bodywork including molded in front fender flares and new paint. Due to Probate laws it is difficult to just "give" it to another family member so the neccessity of selling is looking more likely. The asking price will be 30K and that also includes a ton of spares including a stock 06 yamaha engine. 3 sets of wheels and tires with one of those sets rains.

Too damn bad it can't be given to Rachel.

I think that car should be Rachel's. If she wants it. I can't imagine how hard that has to be.

Believe me everyone here and in the family would love to see Rachel be given this car. The way things were written ( not going to put out detailed personal information on this forum) that just cant happen. There are things in the works to try and get it for her. This is just an exploritory post that I was asked to put out.

Its starting to look good for Rachel to get the car. Hopefully this all works out!!! Some things are in the works and we are all keeping our fingers crossed!!!

I will formally offer $100 for the car. If that's the market value then keeping it for Rachel should be easier, right?

[Daryl DeArman]

I will also offer $100 for the car. Further validating the market value of the car You can't have an outlier or single bid establish fair market value.

[Invader64]

Thanks for the gesture guys. Its all good as i said. Everyone is helping the best they can and its looking great

I'm very pleased to hear this news. Stupid inheritance and estate tax laws.

[Rex Burkheimer]

Any news on this?

[Jim Garry]

She and Brianne Corn drove the car at Nationals this year. It broke. But I believe she now owns the car.

[Rex Burkheimer]

Great! Glad to hear that

[JChirstianson]

Yes its my understanding that Rachael owns the car. Sounds like it may need some structrual work but they were fast and went fast in loaned rides for the second day. Pretty emotional scene in grid when Rachael finished in the trophies.
