Wayno, wow, great test and the lakester looks good. One question, did you come a couple of inches out of the seat? It was hard to tell from the pictures. If so, snug those belts tighter....
I don't think I have heard of anyone else doing an intentional roll over test.... quite cool

Stainless, I think I stayed glued to the seat pretty good. Frank, if it's all the same to you I believe I'll pass on that downhill test. Besides, I'm not tearing this heap apart until after next season.  Wayno |

What I really want to see is a video of the bail out. I'm sure I'd be built in there for life!  Nice job bye the way and I do like the application of the plywood. Pete |

That puts a whole new 'twist' on sitting in the car, and making vroom-vroom noises!  |

I designed this thing with thoughts of getting out easy. The hatch opening is a few inches in front of bar above the steering wheel so I can grab it and pull. There is a crossbar on the floor to place my feets on. It's really quite easy. After dealing with getting out of the Kelly & Hall Lakester (I sure miss Jack and Jerry ) so many times with great difficulty I paid a lot of attention to this detail. Wayno |

Here's a shot from last night with the tail end buttoned up. With the push bar on it gives me room to bring the lower tail back further. That'll be a little later though. Right now it's just getting it running and drivable. Then the fine tuning starts. Wayno |

Wayno,
How big is that chute tube (dia)?
It look kind of like the rear of mine.

If in doubt, it probably IS a mistake.

This has been a long time coming - Thanks for posting, Wayno.
Before this year is out, I think I'll have a bookmark on every build here . . .
