Around here we have the pleasure of racing with a "vintage" Sprite that cost the owner well over $50k (he has 3 of them). We in now way mean to diminish your efforts in the Spec Sprite class. I look

Even though I would never modify my Midget, excluding Bugeyes and MK II Sprites and MK I Midgets because of the rear springs serves what purpose? Are the 1/4's an advantage over the 1/2's or vice ver

My opinion is that 1/2 leafs are much better then 1/4s.Having both types and driving them almost daily, one or the other, sometimes both, (how does one drive both at the same time) I prefer the corne

There is a school of thought that with a 1/4 eliptic spring car AND modifications to shock absorbers AND wider wheels AND sticky "racing" tires AND panhard rod AND anti-sway bar, an advantage is gain

For what it's worth, racing a 1/4 elliptic car without adding a panhard rod is asking for trouble. Even 165 series tires will rub the inner fenders bigtime when cornering hard on a track, since the 1

Too true, too true. That's why you see so many Bugeye racers with the fenders torched out larger and flares added. But lower a squarebody an inch or so and you have the same problem with wider tires.

You start with a Comptune motor that gives an honest 149hp on the dyno (it needs "freshening" every 2 to 3 races) with a 14.5:1 compression ratio. You have as many Kevlar body panels as can be purch
