[Alpines] Mayf has a doppleganger.............

[Larry Mayfield]

The car in the listing is not race ready. Has to have a specific made 
roll cage, HANS , lateral head supports, a funny car cage. Then there is 
the fire systems, 5 lb bottle for the motor , 10 pounds for the driver. 
Then the tires, 400 bucks apiece,  more for the high speed wheels. Motor 
must be putting out more than 500 hp to go faster than teh 210 exit 
speed I posted. Need race suspension front and rear. Need a parachute, 
need a funny car drivers suit. Motor will cost plenty since you will be 
driving up to 5 miles at almost full boogie and that takes some reliable 
parts internally which also must make power. Plus a lot of small 
unmentioned items. Need to add weight to the car because the short wheel 
base is a bear to drive. I have 18 degrees of caster so that will 
require changes in the steering system and suspension.  Now addin a 
generous amount of work at 0 bucks or more per hour to make it all 
happen.  This car was a show car that was "inspired by speed", not that 
it was a race car.  It is a show car lacking the goodies to go really 
fast.  IMHO. YMMV, lol..
