• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Baby Grand National Racing.

From the look of the video (and the sound!) I'm assuming these are based on the 'Legends' series?
Space frame, about 50% size powered by a big bike engine.
The Australia series runs a spec frame and (initially) a 1200 Yamaha power pack.
Outstanding race series with grids of up to 40 cars, usually racing three abreast at most of our circuits and four abreast on the wide ones!
The first few years the American sourced body shells were used but they were quickly replaced by local models, today they're mostly based on Supercar shells, cartoon versions of course.
I had the dubious privilege of a 'demo' drive through my youngest brother's Yamaha connections, at Philip Island of course.
Really good fun if one just drove round at a comfortable speed, really really hard if one pushed the envelope.
I (just me, myself) would like to see them run as open wheelers with the old USAC 'Midget' or 'Sprint Car' shells!!!!!!
After all, what we have is a single seat front engined space frame car with a low weight and high power output ................................... never happen of course, CAMS would go Bat**** crazy!
:devilish:
