Hi, Jeremy,. and welcome to the Forum. I''m the guy that "owns" the website -- I guess I like being considered the "head handlebar holder" for landracing.com. As the guy that has the control panel I'll ask you to go back to your "profile" - that you filled in somewhat when you registered - and enter your location. That way we'll all know where you are and maybe someone in the area will want to give more help than can be done easily on the internet. Thanks -- and if you don't -- I'll make up a town and enter it for you.
Next -- about your drag vehicles. Well, since I'm a bike racer I'm not the one to tell you this, but I will, anyway. The news is that there isn't much in the drag car that will transfer to land speed racing. The cage especially is WAY different from what is required in LSR, and the engine has to live for at least one full minute at W O T, and on and on. Here's what you do: Get a couple of the rulebooks for the organisation you'll be racing with, be it Bonneville (SCTA) or Ohio (ECTA) and so on. I say a couple of them because you really will want to read them until they're dang near memorised -- and then you start reading them again. Once your reading you'll find out how much different things are in this avocation. And that's when this Forum starts being even more valuable -- because you can ask dumb questions and good ones - and you'll get answers. Since there are no prize dollars at risk here there aren't very many secrets -- everyone will try his best to help you build and rac3e the most competitive car you can have.
One last time: Welcome to the Forum. Id you don't want to enter a location I'll move you to something like Scrotum, South Dakota. Knowing that - howsabout you entering something instead of me?
