    Very nice car. It would look better without full cage just a hoop.

      There was nothing left when I discovered it in 2007. I may have photos of your car as I inherited all the NAMRA website archives. Contact me through www.GrenadeMotorsports.com and I'll see what I have. Thanks!

    Is the frame purpose built and out of what material? I see below they run 14k, is that ready to race setup? I am looking for a track day car and auto cross car.

      We no longer build these cars, but could be back to them in the future. We use mild steel and a 4130 chromoly cage. Have fun and thanks for watching!

      Not on a smooth asphalt banked 1/2 mile oval it wasn't. You were going so fast it felt like flying. This was over 12yrs ago, see the latest builds on the channel for more awesome stuff! Thanks for watching!

    What kind of lap times did you get at Sandusky?

    • @GrenadeMotorsports
      @GrenadeMotorsports  7 лет назад +1

      That's been quite a few years ago but in this car, I remember it being close to super modified times. I remember saying "that's almost as fast as the supermods!" I would build more of these cars but nobody wants to run 'em. They're all afraid of them. Like any car, it takes a team of people to run them and it takes other people with cars to race against.

      This car was built in 2008-09 and had several engines in it. LOTS of fun and if my buddies weren't afraid of it, I would have built ten more of them! Sadly, there's no money to be made when you build these types of cars. Thanks for watching!!!
