Hot Rods Another new B-ville car built.

This is the Ratkee/Miller Special. I was hired to fabricate everything and basicly make it a roller.

It will be ran in the VOT4 cl*** on a 130 mph record.

They'll do alright,

I wish them luck.

That nose is dead nuts Miller-I like it!

It will be awesome when it gets to the flats.

 

Nice work. Looks like it will be a fun ride for sure!

 

The grille was bought at Hershey about ten years ago. We don't know who built it. It was VERY rough..

Once we get it straight I'm going to have some more made.

I'llkeep ya'll posted.

I know why SCTA has gone to the full roll cage. It saves lives. But it sure looks out of place on some cars. Will we see it there in August?

 

Very Cool.

 

Nice build.

Is it all new construction or are bits from an old sprinter, have wondered about that SCTA cl*** and if they just had to resemble an old sprinter.

 

Very cool, and the real thing.Is this cage removable?

 

Nice work!
Bet its going to be tuff to get out of the car in the SCTA 20 second rule!!!
Cheers,
Stewart.

 

Not at all.. Throw the steering wheel off, stand straight up and hop out.

-------------------

There trying to get it there this august.

--------------------

All new parts.. But you can use old stuff.

--------------------

Yes, top and bottom cage are completely removeable.

I'm jealous that I don't and probably will never have a salt flat car. The car is nice... But that cage looks like an after thought. espescially the bar around the steering wheel.

The fab work is great, just out of place on that car.

 

i think it all unbolts. an even better afterthought.

 

There really is no other choice if you want to run the car...it's not an afterthought, it is a retrofit. And a real nice one too.

 

I bet that when you started making those cars, you never thought someone would want to run one at bonneville.

Very cool.

Nice car. Looks like it would be very fun to drive down the salt.

 

Hope to see it at the salt............. wish them good luck and GO FAST !

 

Looks great Josh. Nice job. I'm building a vot car as well. But am taking my time, so probably won't be running it til next year.
Are you going to Bonneville with them ?

 

What he said!!!

 

That must be something to sit that far up streight at speed.

 

Loks good. Don't know if that cardboard hood will p*** tech tho.

 

The cage wasn't an after thought.. It's what SCTA requires.. PLUS, we wanted to be able to take the cage off and have a REAL race car. Otherwise I'd have put it inside the body.

Be sure to do it that way on yours someday..

 

I wish I could have takin more time on this build. I started on it Feb.

Thanks man. I respect your opinion a great deal!

You too RYAN.


I guess I am.. I wasn't planning on it, then I talked to Shine yesterday and he threatened to break up with me if I didn't.

Yeah, I'll be there.

 

very cool

 

You cats down by the river have got it going on....

Who gets to be the wheel man ?

 

Young guy from Cali. He is a regular and "one of the boys"

 

A lot of thought went in to figuring out that cage. Nice job.

 

hey i know that car....
