snakeeyes1 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've had a Thunder Roadster sitting in my shop for four years now. Bought it on the recommendation of a friend who owns several (including one Hayabusa-powered one) and tracks them at Spring Mountain and Miller. I spent a while changing it over from an oval track to a road course setup. Naturally, Harris Hill has never allowed open-wheelers at a track day, so it sits. I start and run it up to temp a couple of times a month, change the oil occasionally, and have driven it around my neighborhood (no such thing as Stealth Mode!), but mainly it sits gathering dust. Maybe one day I'll find some motivation and fab some sort of cover to bridge the wheel openings so I can run it at Harris Hill. Link to post

snakeeyes1 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 The Birkin has fenders. Vestigal, but fenders. My car's tires are fully exposed. I talked to Eric about it a couple of times and he ixnayed the idea. I'll have to run it by someone out there again. Link to post
Eraser-X Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Can't you use fenders like these on the Thunder roadster? Link to post
snakeeyes1 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 That's actually a totally different body sold on the TRs that leave 600 Racing in road-race configuration. What I need to do is fab some fenders that bridge the gap between sidepods and the nose and tail sections. Probably not that hard if I had any focus whatsoever. Item #342 on the to-do list.
