I, But iv been watching over you all like a fly on the wall. just been keeping quite not done much lately as work commitments. been buying bits & bobs for the project but not had the grinder out also looking for a better but small gas mig welder. could really do with a bigger garage having to keep turing the trike round every few months for different views making sure i'm happy with what iv done so far mocking up bits of where things will go.

Having been around competition drag racing for more than a few years - if you are serious, you'll not have more than a gallon of gas on board and unless you are dipping into the 7 sec and below bracket don't put a 'shute on it - you'll look a dick - "all the gear and no idea"

I like the idea of what you are doing, Just not sure what your intentions are. Are you actually going to drag it down the strip at Santa Pod or are you looking to race it locally? Or are you just looking to build the trike in drag race style but use it on the road?

Don't suppose you have the drive/gear selector off one of those gearboxes do you? (The lever inside the car that you use to select drive/reverse/park). I need the complete thing. Would be happy to buy it off you if you have.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do with the trike. Have to say it would be a shame to sell it now after you have got this far.
