Two 250cc 2-strokes?

I'm guessing it's smaller than it looks.

I'm still trying to gauge the size.

What size are those Hoosier tires?

I doubt that was built to run on the salt but if it was they should have looked into it first. It has no tail so I'm calling it the Gecko. :-D

Note that the name "Gerber Tracy" is (faintly) on the rea of the body.

They also have their #1459 F/GL at the show (note the names on the placard on the left):

The car looks nice. I have a problem with the cinder blocks. At least they could have put towels or something over them.

I was wondering about their choice of cement blocks, too.  I mean - did someone go to the cement supply store and sort through the stacks of blocks looking for the perfect set? :? :-D
