Light Drag Frontend
I was wondering if anyone has considered using a light Drag racing frontend. Jegs, Summit racing, and many others offer ones.
It may be viable to start there.
Any thoughts?

Re: Light Drag Frontend
Hmmm.. the Jegster strut front end kit would probably work, but it would look a little strange with the exposed shock/strut, and handling might suffer, as well. What manufacturer and part number are you thinking of?

Re: Light Drag Frontend
You know....
Now that I give it more thought, I'll be happier with the looks if I do keep it an F1/Indy style shock configuration.
After some serious thought, I think this look is within my abilities.

If I was to widen it up by 12"-18", I might be able to get another seat in there, and still keep the look. It's tricky, though.

Re: Light Drag Frontend
Yeah, you could probably keep the same swingarm length (almost), and use narrower tires - something more like the T-Rex, but with an IndyCycle body?

Re: Light Drag Frontend
ACK!!
I'm trying to avoid a T-Rex look. However, if I do go with a side-by-side 2 seater, it will end up looking kinda like that. I could put an Indy style body on it, and it will still kinda look like a T-Rex.
I'll have to do some more drawings.
