are you going with the engine at the back or flipped with a engine closer to the rear wheels like the formula vee stylin with the transmission at the rear? (midmount)?

Hah cool, had a couple of changes, from a little advice from you know who. I decide to turn the front stubs up the right way as the geometry could have had an issue at speed ( shopping trolley wheels... well kind of) the clutch and accel tubes are in and an adjustable bump stop on the rear suspension. I have hit a wall and just waiting for the Tax cheque to come in the mail. Then its all go again. I have ordered a steering rack, spindle mount front wheels and a few other things from the states too.

Hi There, With Warwick so close I have pulled the pin getting the dragster finished ( I have taken a second job to pay for my fun) ...... If I don't get it finished or rebuild the Beetle engine I will be left with nothing to race.....!
I will still get it done asap and I have had the ok to go to Portland.

The other weekend I was helping the father inlaw with his shed (and new hoist yeehar) and found what is left of his old rear engined dragster sitting in a garden bed.

He ran it with a fiat motor connected to a flipped kombi transaxle
