Not a Streamliner but a Lakester!

This car is raced by Bruce Harmon from Wilmington, OH and is a Legend car base. He is bharmon77 on here and hopefully he will chime in.
I've seen it run at Maxton and Wilmington and he has also run at Bonneville.

This article, from Hot Rod magazine, was from a few years back at Maxton:

And these pics are from Wilmington in September of this year.....That's Bruce on the right:





Hope this helps,
Gregg

     08 has body work outside the inner plane of the tires - Streamliner.

     7077 has open wheels/tires - Lakester.

T/O is where the legend car typically runs. Same amount of money but, no record or trophy. They run around 185 I think.

Dan, since the bodies are 'produced' does that mean they are a "production body" or is that only bodies produced by current or past car manufactures that were licensed for the road?  Just wondering how SCTA views that since, as you know, you can't use a modified 'production body' in streamliner or lakester classes.

Thanks,

Sum

Do I really need to answer this question? Rule book states in:

4.D what a production automobile or component is
5.B what a roadster is
5.E what a production automobile is

With what happened at El Mirage last month I would tell these Dwarf/Legend short wheelbase cars to stay home. There is no need for the "just to see how fast it can go" mentality at the risk of loosing the sport for others at the whims of a lawyer.....................

Unfortunately any car can wreck on any pass at any track... it is the nature of this sport.  Shit happens and things go wrong... we are all in this because we have the  "just to see how fast it can go" mentality. 
It defines all of us.  :cheers:

Stainless, I agree but some brains need to be used by both the competitors and the governing bodies for the good of all of us.......

Legend racers are no more a car than a go cart is.
TimeOnly or WOS clubs.  No records but it could be fun.
Going really fast with short wb isn't fun.  BTDT.

Bruce's Lakester with the legend bodywork is a class legal race car. I think the pictures are back in reply 2.  That is the only legend type car that I would say is a LSR car, it is not a short WB car.  

looks like a George Fields mini me...
