As opposed to a Kramerica Industries oil tanker bladder perhaps?

ok Ok OK!

I've been talking to Carl C about a sweet Vaporworks set up in a custom sized fuel cell. It's though...

I knew you'd catch that Vin. Yep now there's room, but I've got about 14" already. Our buddy Gae says whose-yer-daddy 315s are plenty

[Vince@Meanstreets]

You can never have enough space. Plus that's 4 extra lbs of sheet metal sitting idle.

What's a couple more hours and a coupe strips of 18gauge. LOL

Nice progress!


Have you started accepting resumes from potential drivers yet?

[Ron in SoCal]

Not yet, but for sure I'm crossing Lotus drivers off the list

[Track Junky]

315's with slicks are definitely plenty. Think about how much more weight I have then you back there with the leaf springs, Fays 2 watts (35 lbs) and I cant get the rear to slide (with the Sutton secret sauce shocks).
295's up front if you can manage would be great also but Dave Brown and Karl Chicca have been doing pretty darn well with 275's and I imagine they're shock set up contributes to that.
335 in the rear with 200 tread wear tires I completely understand due to the amount of power these Optima Challenge cars lay down but I'm under the impression that this will be your track car and not auto x.
And again, why spend money on a custom tank when you can pic up a fuel cell. Aluminum fuel cell would be my preference as my 8 gallon steel is 26 lbs and I'm pretty sure you will go bigger.

That's really going to hurt GW's feelings.

Good idea, but why so soon? Those who are available now will be long retired by the time this thing hits a track...
