Racers,
let me have your ideas about a lightweight racecar for an extra large driver.
I am 5 ft 11 inches and weight 290 pounds. It simply has to be an easy in - easy out because I have "FOS" disease. [Fat, Old, Stiff] [Grin]
Some things I have considered are the short land shark rails or some type of long wheelbase altered/roadster.
What are some of you two XX drivers racing?
Thanks
Larry Woodfin

Larry, while I'm not XX, my favorite is the dragster, one of our racers here has a Landshark and likes it. Most of the newer cars have more room in them. The longer chassis on dragsters are usually more stable and consistent than roadsters/altereds. And if something breaks, it's behind you. I'm told the Landshark is great to judge the finish line too.

Mark,
Thanks for the note. I have just talked with Jeff Strunk [Land Shark builder] Jeff was very calm, polite and I enjoyed the visit. He comes across as very racer friendly.
During the visit he pointed out several advantages of the 185" wheel base rail. [all sounded good and made sense]
At this time, I am strongly considering going with a Land Shark.
