What's the history of this car? Mark? it was mid engine? Is it still around?
Thanks Mark(any Mark who has the answer will do!). I recently picked up a single seat bunderson that had a wing so was intrigued. Did anyone ever stand the rear shocks up to improve handling?
I had Ellison's Millennium rear shocks "stood up" after driving it at Laughlin the first time. We spent much time dialing it in and got it to handle the big bumps better. It really shined on the roads of Baja though. Won the Baja 1000 and 3 Baja 500s plus many other races with it. Great car. I think Ellison's putting it back together.I remember one getting the modification. There were three or four built. Two were class 10's if I'm remembering correctly. Bob Gordon, TSCO, Rick Ellison and Ryan Thomas I think...
Ellison's car was a 10 car with a Honda B16 and a Fortin 5 speed. The wing looked very cool on this car but not much else....Did you ever notice the wing actually providing down force on the high speed stuff? I've ditched the wing on my car as it made (re)packaging of some stuff tricky. And I just saw it as unnecessary weight and most importantly I don't think it looked that cool! lol
Actually that's me driving at the 1998 Baja 1000 which was that car's first race. Not one of my better days as about 50 miles south of this picture I hit a 6 foot concrete pipe that ended our day.Found this old pic:
