Regarding the video: It was late and the season and some of the racers were going for class championship points. The blue ricer you reference at 5.11 in the video was driving in desperation and gave plenty of signals that allowed one to anticipate his bahaviour. He was seeing "red" and gave no indication he would see me. I thought it was entertaining, so I kept the sequence in the edited version I posted. The semi-open-wheel car I finally caught at the end is a "modified" late model oval track style car. The owner/driver has tried to make changes so the thing will turn right, but it is still a bit handicapped in this regard. You can see in the video that it turns left very well, but I knew that if I could keep him from leaving me too much on the left turns I could get him on the rights and that is what happened. This was one of those infrequent cases where power overcomes a weight disadvantage, partly because there was less disadvantage in terms of left side weight.
Regard to Fairlane fenders: Here is a picture of a Fairlane I used to run. You can see how the front fenders were opened up. I tried to keep a factory look while enabling more rubber and a lower stance. This is an FE car with a wet sump, but the pan is the type that is shallow and wide. It also has tri-y headers, Global West a-arms, an adjustable front AR bar, an extra 1.5 leaves and leaf spring eyes have been reversed. Most of the work was done 15+ years ago before a lot of the trick aftermarket stuff that is around now was available. It is a good handling piece.
Alan it is great to see those videos of your car on European tracks. Keep it Up man!
