Rear Engine Modified Roadster Build

[maguromic]

Charles, You have to excuse Stan as he is a street roadster guy and they tend to be a little touchy about roadsters.  Tony

[Cajun Kid]

Tony,  I understand... and Stan is OK in my book too,, I just tend to call him out to keep him in check every now and then.  All in good fun... and for the record, I like street roadsters.  I like any style Hi Boy racer, street, altered, modified etc...

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.

LOL

LOL.

CK - I agree with Stan ... RMR are not attractive cars.

[C Hoffman]

I agree with Stan Back, almost are all ugly. Blame Ron Benham and my dad

The rear engine roadster I drove didn't have a wing, or any aero stuff the ones have today. It even looked like all of the RMR,s in the 50s. There are several in museums that ran in that era.

For the most part, the recently built RMR-s look like pregnant lakesters ...

Glen,

Is this something like you drove in the 50's?

Yes Tom the Black Widow is in a private museum. Sent you a pm.

Charles,

Why build a REMR at all. It is basically a lakester which is much easier to build and faster. You won't have to deal with body issues, trust me there will be body issues. I am willing to go out on a limb here and say your build diary will run to 100 pages with questions about the body legality.

DW,  thanks for your very valuable input and experiance.. After doing my own research, I have to agree with you.  The best bet is for me to forget the REMR and perfect the Stude and then do a well thought out Lakester for 2012/2013..

Thanks again

I will refrain from comment on the slow part, as I don't want to be accused of elder abuse.  :-P    Dan is  right though, and anyone can do that.  But build a REMR  and run the gauntlet of pundits, experts, purist, out of work preachers and witness protection people and then you know you have done it.   Tony

  Tony,  WHEN you are successful will you then QUALIFY to sign your name :

Tony   RRT    "Rear Roadster Toad"  8-)

as opposed to Tony Esq.

TeaMan, as I'm sure you already know, you need broad shoulders to play on this website.
Maybe a STAN BACK type to monitor  REMRs is in order.

Stan strikes fear into the hearts of those St Rdstr racers.

It has been overlooked...... butt Stan Back ran plastic valve stem caps on his record return pass..

I seen 'em!

Note: interested bystander tole him it would be an aero advantage.

Hard to dispute that. He did get the record.
