That car was in a vintage four class.  The picture may not be too clear but this is what I got.

That is the chute, It's a square pack mounted up and andgled slightly back.  They were pitted along the rope at the 4 mile end of the pits.  The car had "Running Down A Dream" on the side and was in V4/BGL

Thanks I'll send you and e-mail and forward the info to Reverend Hedgash who is building his lakester similar to this one and is interested in the chute layout.

The internet is great :D .  Just think how long (if at all) it would take to get all this info 20 years ago to and from people in 3 different countries.

I also noticed that it looks like the car only made one run last year and it was a "turn out".  I hope they got in a run or two that I didn't see in the results.

Thanks for the additional information.  If you have any motor pictures I would like to post them on my site.  I think I remember talking to them about the motor now that you have described it.  Pretty innovative.  Hope they can run this year and things go better :D .
