Getting over 7s--sand rails

[lotusman1951]

Hi all, been thru several 7s several loti and Allards, TVRs and the rest of the "special cars"

The flooded SV caught me again-now happily married to a 91 Miata BRG with mods.

 

I have been looking at the 3 wheelers and mid-engined not rear engined sand rails-800-1000 pounds, tube frame-With air-cooled VW power 100-200hp-more water cooled WRX stuff.

 

Where I live in Maryland with VW components these cars could get Historic Tags and be registered as a Street Rod.

 

They are on CL and ebay at $4Kish, Funky wheels, no front brakes, ??

 

Any one think they can zap me like a 250hp 7 but will wheelie as well?

 

A full tubular -no skin experience-with a stinger exhaust.

 

wadda ya think?

Not sure. I have a buddy who races lawn tractors. What do you think about racing lawn tractors ? I have an uncle who like to grow his own olive trees and make olive oil. Personally, I don't think it worth all the trouble when I can go into a store and buy olive oil. I really don't know what this has to do with your question, but then again I don't understand what your thread has to do with the Lotus 7 cars.
