I'd go to this race just to see stuff like this. This looks like an early version of Mickey Thompson's sprint car. What does this have in the way of travel and shocks?

Here are some pictures of my #8 Les Choat Burro built in 1968 and ran in Baja in the late 60s and early 70s and also Nevada. This is the Burro that I will be bringing to the NORRA rallly. I also have that Bob Sinclair Volvo powered Burro that I restored four years ago. The Volvo Burro fonished the 1968 Baja 1000 on three wheels. Bob & Bob Anderson drove that Burro the last 60 miles on three wheels and finished 4th in class and 21st overall. I also have the original Tiny Thompson Burro that finished 14th OA and 3rd in class at the 68 1000. This Burro was also shown on the Widw World of Sports 1968 Baja race coverage.
