The lakester I purchased (but haven't run yet myself) has well-proven torsion suspension at all corners, but I'm considering going solid with the rear (due to possible lack of room for a driveshaft). Over the years since Bill Burke's 1946 runs, many, many lakesters have done without rear suspension. But having seen the old Maxton track, I fully understand why my car was built with it! Have any of you run a lakester on a smoother track (Wilmington? Loring?) with solid rear suspension, and would you care to comment?
[If it has any bearing on the suspension question: it will run in F/BFL where the SCTA record is 260-something MPH. It's a belly tank replica, and will weigh in the neighborhood of 2,100 lb.]
