All,
Thanks for looking at my Rampage build.
Rich - I hope this is the good idea.
Dave - When I first started this project, I did want to make sure it would be legal for MMP in both the SCTA and ECTA. Emails were sent to SCTA officials and the replies came back that the Rampage would be legal as were VW pickups. I also got verbal OK's from officials with the ECTA and down the path I went. Also, during the rollcage construction, my truck was taken to Maxton and Joe Timney gave it the onceover and approved what my chassis guy had done. As Steve said, an email to the SCTA rules committee will confirm legality.
Here is the Four Shifts and Grins Rampage that has run at Bonneville. This from 2000:
World of Speed Event Records

Also, as Steve and Bill posted, for MMP you cannot convert FWD to RWD and mine will retain the FWD.
In my original post I only mentioned Wilmington and the ECTA but when I do get this running, I do plan a trip out to Bonneville.
Chris - Yes, it will be FWD and the engine swap will be a 2004 Neon SRT4 turbo and will run as F/BMMP. Unfortunately, with the turbo, it will not be as loud as your Midget was at Maxton.
Don - I will keep that in mind but plan on running the full cover in the beginning.
DS - Thanks for the link.....Good information.
Doug - When I started this project, the left side helmet rule did not exist. This will be addressed next month when I take it to Rod Crafters.
Again, many thanks for the kind words,
Gregg
