Bracket Race Vehicle(s)

Having some window glass issues. The windshield had picked up a very small chip while at the front of staging lanes behind the burnout box. It wasn't an issue until it was in body & paint. It decided to crack & star.

While it was in the shop, we had the driver's door window replaced. Needless to say, the windows curvature is excessively defective. It didn't allow the window to roll up all the way. According to the glass guy this happens occasionally.

Anyway, the windshield was in stock in Las Vegas & they had to order in the door window. Needless to say, the windows aren't getting installed until 9/25/2024. Two days before our testing/racing starting on 9/27/2024. I live in rural NV. & it takes extra time to have things delivered.

I should be able the make the races as long as there's no more hiccups!

We made the testing & last 2 points races of the season this past weekend.

Here's our most unique bracket vehicles. I built/tested it around 2004. NHRA started a class for it & my son wanted me to build it.

It's based off a Yamaha Banshee 350cc, twin cylinder 2 stroke. We used it for heads-up/grudge racing also. It was very successful in all venues we raced in from 300' dirt/sand drags, hill shooting, 1/8th mile but was purpose built for 1/4 mile.

The quad has recently been reconfigured for heads up 1/8th mile racing. Hoping to get some testing done this winter on it.

The 1st pic was our small motor in the far lane around 2010 with one of my boys on it.

The 2nd pic is the quad getting some upgrades.

Thanks for taking interest.

When the car was NA, we dabbled in S/ST. We have given some thought going back with the boosted combo.

Since the pics were taken in the body shop, we have removed S/ST from the windows.

Super Street looks like a fun class Just wish it was at all national events and had a national championship.

It's a fun class & I've raced two different cars in the class many moons ago. I still have all the crap needed to run the class, but not so sure I could make the old plate throttle stop work with the combo.

As for all national events or championships, as you probably know is wishful thinking.

My son put a quad together last minute for a race earlier this year. The quad has no power adder but is on methanol. The below slip is one of the runs, it's a consistent 5.00 performer in the 1/8 mile.

While our quad will not be as fast as that, due to a hefty weight penalty; the chassis & my other son riding (280 lbs.). It will still be a quick ride. Looking forward to all the snide comments at the track. The most common one being "that's cute". My reply is always "wait till you see cute run"!

Who knows, I may even throw my leg over it & make some passes @ 62 years old.
