Disgruntled Bovine posted:That's an M62 locomotive, which weighs about 128 tons. I don't know how much a loaded missle launch platform weighs but I wouldn't be surprised if it were close to that. pretty sure it's just the sheet metal cab of the locomotive and not the heavy rear end frame to it

They are fast and light, sure, and some of the parts are common, but in TYOOL 2016 a supermodified is neither cheap nor plentiful. There are only a handful of tracks that run them (and none are rear engined now). Converting them to road course use would be a feat of engineering, because even the chassis themselves are constructed with a built in left offset. The right side suspension looks like that's how they achieve the offset, but there's actually inches of offset in the chassis from the motor mounts all the way through the driveline. It would be a bitch to pull off.  That's a scale model, but it illustrates bulkhead location, mounting points etc pretty well. Supermodifieds are the bleeding edge of "turn left" technology. e- oh yeah, and the engines are laid over so that the rotating mass helps the car turn left

I've always wondered about taking one of those and setting it up for road coarse racing. They're fast, light, cheap, plentiful and easy as hell to get parts for and work on.

xzzy posted:Really blows my mind that something like an F40 could ever get into a state where it needs a full on restoration. It sounds weird but old race cars were still just trash until like the late 90's. I mean, in a lot of ways they still are. Dunno many LMP-1 cars in private hands, ya know?
