I think that's an Eclipse in the background so it might have been taken over here.

This reminds me when my great uncle used to do ice racing.

Defeated this guy:

Timo Mäkinen

in an ice racing, Mäkinen was driving the Mini with spiked tires while he was racing in an original Lotus made Seven S2. Tight corner, he can brake much more forcefully so Timo rearended the Lotus, after which they finished like gentlemen by coasting to finish with my great uncle in front. Kinda sad they sold the Lotus years later.

Ranch style fence, yellow road edge and architecture doesn't look British either. The weather sure does though.

You should post some more pics of the build... especially the rear axle setup.

It uses a 'spool' which seems to me is just a solid axle.





Interestingly the fastest car ever around the nurburgring had the same setup.

That's a Winters quick change axle. The spool is what they're putting into the axle instead of the differential. You should also mention that they used as much of the ASCAR as they could, besides the engine. And they broke the driveshaft on the second burnout attempt of its short life.

Edit: yes, it does sound glorious with the ITBs. They have a build thread an posted video. On mobile now so I don't have the link, sorry. Its on Driftwork's UK forum.

It's an aluminum body on frame with no engine that costs approx $150,000. You do get an exhaust and wheels though!

Hey, whatever happened to the guy whose boss gave him a replica Cobra? I remember the start being all "YOU WILL DIE" and people posting pictures of the trippy part of 2001 and then I don't know if he ever posted again.

I wondered about that dude myself. I figured I'd rather not know if he did indeed end up dying at the wheel of that car... :/

That it is one of the very few times that Bill Cosby was even remotely controversial in his act:

"I want you to take this car, and give it to George Wallace"
