Hey Ed, You might want to check out the "Frightliner" it was built in pieces, 2 or 3 and it was assembled at the race track. The car also had 4 tires in the back, ran a "Chizzeler Motor, but was cut across , I think either 2 or 4 cylinders with a 4:71 blower. I think Dan Warner may have good info on it, I think owner and Mr. Warner live in the same neck of the woods. I also would like to comment on the break away chassis you mentioned.. First I know I am a "Charter Member" in the "Peanut Gallery", but after looking at Chassis design of Streamliners and Lakesters I can count on one hand the number of cars having run a breakway roll cage. To me that design is the only way to go. All the front engine "diggers" back in the day were built that way... There is flim of Jim Nickles and the Snake racing in early 70s Nickles clutch let go car broke at the breakaway and went by the snake, who thought Nickles was killed, Nickles walked away .. Tony Shumacher had that really bad wreck where the car broke in 3 pieces, and the drivers compartment flipped and rolled at least 6 or 8 times, minimum damage to Shumacher.. Just think about all that energy, in a nose first, wreck being transfered all the way through the chassis.. there is no place for the impact to go except through the chassis and then to the drivers cage..and then really bad things happen... Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this thread, BUT this subject has never been discussed before on landracing to my knowledge.... Mike R.
