rosco01 Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 I've seen your work in the Tasman series, David - this is no exception to that.... brilliant. Interesting concept for the chassis... I understand there are principles regarding gaining an edge in competition - can you reveal some of the philosophy in construction? happy if not. frats, Rosco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
