That car just screams Clark

or SoWhat Racing!

Yeah, it has really interesting wheel covers and good lines... It only lacks headlights that you have never seen before!

Man, after viewing the webpage these things are AWESOME! In the picture gallery almost everyone has a smile on their face while racing! What neat little cars!

Casey · 12-27-2007, 10:18 AM

those look like fun.

**Bigcheese327** · 12-27-2007, 10:21 AM

I loved these from the moment someone linked them into my cyclecars thread. So much cooler than a go-kart.

yup, very nifty indeed, looks like craploads of fun

repoguy · 12-27-2007, 10:26 AM

Me & a buddy have been kicking the idea of some kind of off-road deal with a streetbike engine for a while now, but this has me thinking in a whole different direction.

Looks like a lot of fun.

Thanks

We would have used too much glue... Then we would have to have Ronnie come over and fix our mistakes... and then once it was right, I would have just put it in the wall anyway!

**SUHRsc** · 12-27-2007, 10:47 AM

wow, that looks like something cool to build!
hmmmmmm

akjim · 12-27-2007, 11:07 AM

Great!! Another way to piss away my retirement stash!! Which I would do in a heartbeat.....that Alfa, and the '39 Indy winner, are favorites....

This looks like a refined version of the SFVISBF with a power plant.

This reminds me of a friend that had 4 Sunfish sailboats. We went out on them a few times and just had a ball - racing, crashing and tipping over. Pure fun because they were so simple and basic.

An old saying with boats is that "the amount of fun is inversely proportionate to the length of the boat". It seems that the same theory applies to cars - these and the SFVISBF prove the point.

Looks like too much fun! Now, where's that SBC and a shoehorn...

Follow the link and go to the 'data" page of the Road and Track "April Fool's" issue.

Too funny --I love the time/speed graph comparing the Cycle car to a race car and the 8 horse Clydsdale hitch.

KIRK! · 12-27-2007, 12:38 PM

What are the dates for the HAMB Cyclecart races?
