Greg Weld's 65 Mustang fastback track car

[GregWeld]

A guy I met - that is/was the Lotus Cup Unlimited Champ in his Lotus 2 Eleven - has a garage there at SMMP - and also has a Radical... Sieg and I met up with him when we were there for OUSCI... I think he said he can pull 2.5 G's lateral in the Radical.

That's some serious Lateral G's... <get it? Pun intended>

guy was passing me and gone.... it took a few times out
to figure that what is flashing in my mirror does not effect
me because by the time I figured it out he has passed me
and gone

Very fast and light and to drive them in the marbles is really something else

And it would. It is very hard to compare times between cars/tracks/drivers and come out with meaningful numbers, but one source I did find is from Top Gears test track times:

Radical SR3 1:19.1
Lotus Elise 1:28.2

A 211 would be considerably faster than a Elise, but it is essentially comparing a race car with something derived from a street car.

I love that you have the 211, and look forward to some comparisons between it and the Mustang. I bet in the long run, the Lotus will be faster and CHEAPER to run than the Mustang.

The emperor has new clothes!!! Can't thank Brian Hobaugh enough for his EXCELLENT service ---- and even more so -- just for taking this job on!!!





All naked and drowned rat looking with all the body removed....









And beautifully re-bodied, as if it never happened!

Poor kid..........wish my Dad was still alive to abuse me in similar fashion. Didn't like it too much at the time but I sure miss it now.
