| OIC. I would call those bellytank "lakesters". This is what comes to mind for me when I hear "flat tracker": http://vft.org/WCVDTS2006/02Tulare/Mikey-Rush-18.52-sec..jpg Just semantics. I personally can't wait to see a few 36 HP Challenge bellytanks! This is really getting to be fun! |

Of course...Dick Beith's '64 record holder.
Although Dick started racing early...not this early...that's his son in the picture.

I've been searching for a while now, where can I get the particulars on Dick's racer, such as mechanics and fab work? Also where is it now?
