Rear Engine Modified Roadster Build

[maguromic]

Pat I would have to disagree with you.  These are not streamliners, laksters nor street roadsters but from the mere definition are Modified Roadsters. Our cars parachute faring covers are well below the proposed rule percentage and the car retains all the lines of the original body. Every part of this car is within the rules, and we have lots of written approvals and definition clarifications from Russ. If there are parts of this car or any other car you don't like there is a process to have the rules changed. 

But just encase as I stated earlier I am bringing my own tape measure.  Oh, and I want JD to measure our car, with a car at 142 63/64 his eyesight is better than mine. 8-) Tony

Tony and Krusty - Yes, there are parts and pieces on some modifieds that I don't think fit the bill for our chosen class. If your interested enough look for the rear 3/4 view of   car #325.  I know of two photographers that captioned their photos of this car as a Lakester.   I followed SCTA protocol and was instrumental in getting the ball rolling on the proposed rules to let builders know what is acceptable in our chosen Vintage class.  Pat - Thanks for asking        (PS - no I don't have a problem with the flat cowl)

Is this the car you are referring to?

Mag...no more measuring for me....You can bet I stayed under the 143" limit for a Gas/Fuel Roadster and over the 530 sq" for the grille. Having a non-Ford entry in the roadster class was enough of a problem in itself. Since more have been constructed over the years and those who were in power at one time aren't players anymore I don't hear much. Now it's fun just to keep going faster and start putting my grand sons to the seat...This year I reached a goal I set for myself in 1981 when I bought the Minnal-Barrious Roadster. It took a long time and 3 car body rebuilds and meeting the yearly rule changes of that era.

I do like what the Hudson Boys (Don Wilson) did when he put a Austin American body on his lakester for his rendition of a RMR. He should be the first over 200 with a Hudson roadster.............. 

.....I couldn't Waters have the last word in the 90's so I came up with 63/64"

So you're saying that photographers are the ones who decide what's a lakester and what's a rear-engined modified roadster?          vic

The most obvious development in RMR's is that they take the cake for the highest percentage of truly ugly race cars.

Beauty is only skin deep.  :-P Tony

LOL. How true, but it seem the problem is too much of the skin is getting covered up. LOL.

Charles, Stan is color blind and wears coke bottle lenses and that gives him a distorted view of things, at least that's what Desoto man said.
