Hambster?

Would this fly under the HAMB dragster rules? It would be cool with a flathead V8 too. Anybody running anything like this?

Rule 26. Cars must be built in the spirit of the "Bug"

Maybe? They are all FEDs up to now, right?

 

that fits my definition of "in the spirit of"

 

That's the way I would approach the thing.

 

I'd like to do it just for the challenge of building the linkage!

I think that car would fit right in. The thought has crossed my mind to build a rear engine car also but Im to lazy to figure out the carb linkage and the clutch and tran linkage.I love the idea, Go for it.

 

It would be like building a bellytank with out the tank part.

Could run it on the salt, too.

 

wow... juices are flowin now... ****

It seems like a cool idea, but if you think about it, you'll end-up with a lot more weight on the front end than you want.

 

Are the rules posted somewhere?

Works for me. The driver sits between the front and rear axle. Rule # 8 if I remember correctly.
