What’s the weight of the tube Chassis?

cdoodson

With me and a tank of fuel this car is around 2000lbs
As per SCCA ,GTL rules it must weigh in at end of race , no less than 1926lbs
It does have about 15 lb ballast

I love that with all that, it appears to still be rocking a Koni / GC combo and skunk2 UCA's.

Nothing wrong with that, just makes me feel better about my pending Koni / GC combo!

edit: roof made me lol, I couldn't help but think of these guis


all joking aside, amazing build, would love to see vid

stonefab

Nice job!
Which race in Canada?

solorex

Great job Chris, missed seeing in out there last year can't wait to see it this year.

^ Get that thing out to Area 27 already

cdoodson

Love too but I cant afford the membership

solorex

Just need to "get to know" a few members. I have some loose connections already. Sounds like they are going to host events as well, keeping my fingers crossed they will support grassroots motorsports and some time attack events.

cdoodson

I hope SCCBC can somehow get a race up there , I would haul up, for sure.

very very nice.
What does something like that cost to build?

exgr

most fantastic. did you build the 1 piece hood/fender yourself? also, what is the exact specs of them wheels?

i'm in the process of designing tooling of 14x7 and 14x8 flow formed wheels...

davegt27

cool thanks for the update

14X7/14x8 might not be a good Idea
not to many size 14 tires that's why people either run 13's or jump to 15's

if your running racing slicks a lot of people run 20x9.5x13 (gets the CG lower)
so a few things to think about
a big part of the race class GTL (used to be GT4) is you trying to build a better mouse trap so to speak

Davegt27

cdoodson

That's correct , not too many 14" race tires . GTL wheels specs are 13" x 7 "
mine are panasport.

cdoodson

I would guess I spent around $15000 Canadian to build but I had a friend who owned the molds, and I already had a bunch of bits and pieces from my old racecar which was retired.
drivetrain
wheels
seat
.........
Plus I could not even begin to tell you how many hours went into this.
