My ADHD is killing me.
Until yesterday, I'd never really looked at the older race cars. I didn't get the memo on this endeavor. Now, as usual, I'm hooked.

We've got a significant amount of unpatrolled gravel roads out here in the boondocks.
One could travel miles with little/no problem. Nearby is a a limitless expanse of national forest with mixed use gravel roads where this shouldn't be more a problem than the average ATV hunter, or the average redneck with a couch in the pickup bed filled with his family rolling boones farm bottles out the back.

Immediately, this gets my engineering mind in gear and I'm installing a 2stroke KX engine and linkages for gear changes, etc.. Then I need more brakes. Then I want better suspension...

but something keeping to the rules has it's appeal too. Simple low to the ground fun. Clearly they've got this figured out better than I do- but I'd want it to excel here where I'd use it.

Add this to my list of things I have no earthly time for, but can't get off my mind.

Cool thing is they are loosely basing these off the original racers- here's one I was completely unaware of.
