    OK I have been building my 27 T Roadster for quite some time now and I was reading Kevin Lee's post about his Lakes Coupe and it got me thinking about how many of us are really building our cars with lakes racing in mind. When I started out building my car I wanted it to be just as it would have back in the 30's,40's,50's.. Just pull onto the lake and get in line. I don't have any current pictures but here's how its going..Lets see what else you guys have....Lucky

  5. My '25 Chev lakes inspired Roadster. I am planning on having a rollbar for Drags, hill climbs and may look at the rules for the vintage cl*** of the DLRA.

    Car will sit 2"-3" lower when done.

    Inspired by the Bob Giovanine/Chuck Spurgin Roadster, which was the 1948 SCTA Points Champion.

    Of course these are Lakes racers. Maybe not fair.
