LSR = Land Speed Rampage

[Tman]

Here's a thread showing another Shelby Charger LSR racer.  Sharp looking car.

Back in the late '80's, I had a pair of tinted headlight covers for my Dodge 024 (same headlights as Shelby).  They were the JC Whitney version, made from flat plastic, and secured with small sheet metal screws. 

I'd like to see a pair of the Direct Connection covers up close to see how they are attached (special brackets?)

We can't see that, link says we need to register to access

Let's see if this works...

[SteveM]

It has the headlights and the turn signals covered.

Car no. X22 would be 150 club, wouldn't it?

Mike

[SteveM]

Yes, 130 club. 

[SteveM]

Ooops, I think he got into the 130 club, but couldn't quite get to 150.  Obviously, what's legal for 130 and 150 may not be legal for SCTA Production classes, but I believe those are the correct DC covers.

Here is another shot of that car and it was the 130 club. They are the correct headlight covers.



Here is a better picture of the Direct Connection headlight covers with the 1/4 turn fastners.

This is the Direct Connection catalog that I got off of eBay that has some really cool stuff in it.



Headlight covers and part numbers.



And a better picture of kinda sorta what I want my Rampage to look like only lower and without the roof spoiler (which is also impossible to find).

Thanks Gregg ! I was trying to up load that catalog picture.  John

[gkabbt]

No problem, John.....Just took me a while to find it on my PC.
Those are the same pictures I sent to the SCTA rules committee when I asked if the covers were legal.

In May of 1983 and thru 1985 Scott Harvey ran a Shelby Charger in F/PRO and G/pro at Bonneville and El Mirage. He worked for Shelby Performance Center. F/PRO record 142.850 and G/PRO at 134.529. Said to be headlight covers were worth  2.5 percent in CD.

[gkabbt]

I may be wrong but I think that the 7550 car is that same one. H&H Motorsports (Harvey & Hope) and Steve Hope used to work at Shelby as well.

John, replied to your PM.

Gregg

[gkabbt]

I just looked through the many notes I have and I see both Scott Harvey and Tom Hutchinson names on a note with Steve Hope's name. I cannot remember who Steve told me who the other H was in H&H. Maybe some of the SCTA folks will chime in.

Gregg

[gkabbt]

It has the headlights and the turn signals covered.

Pay particular attention to the front of the 7550 car. Headlight covers and the turn signals have been covered as well. Steve told me the turn signals are there, just covered and they are legal. Not really meaning to repeat myself again but, remember, he has been running this car for many years in PRO. The one thing that cannot be modified are the grille openings and this is true for my Rampage as well. I asked Dan about that and he came back with a big fat NO. That would a bump into ALT.

Gregg

[gkabbt]

Were they a moulded piece or just a fabrication from flat plastic? If the latter, would it be possible to build exact duplicates that would meet specs for tech?

Pete

Pete,
Thanks for your input and a very good point that I have thought about that as well. These covers are flat plastic and attach to L brackets with 1/4 turn Dzus (or a type of) fastener. Since the Direct Connection covers are really nonexistent, exact duplicates might be acceptable. I will pose the question to the rules Committee.
