Looks like a rubber block contacts the rear axle housing.

Thanks Buildy, that makes a little more sense now.
Still, as low as she's riding, the bump stop IS the spring...

 

Must`ve been a handful to drive,I would think.

 

Looks like maybe the spring has collapsed...

 

I know this isn't a sprint car from back in the day, and yes it has a roll cage, but you guys have to see this car. I was at Oswego Speedway NY, on Labor day weekend for there International Classic and saw this STREET LEGAL supermodified. WOW this has got to be the coolest thing I've seen yet. enjoy!

 

Lee.....it works for me....

 

Imagine that thing screaming by you on the thruway!!!

 

Back to the EMMR Museum.

 

Where do you put the groceries?

 

Like a motorcycle, bungee cords and strap the groceries to the rear wing. At today's prices, should hold about $100 worth.

 

In the trunk of the police car chasing you.

 

Hope you enjoy.

 

A couple more

Vintage Portion of The Jim Hurtubise Classic - Terre Haute 9-10-11

Big thanks to Mac Miller, Indyrjc and Theresa for running the car for me.
Never planned to run it on dirt but in looking back the original BVS ended its days on the dirt tracks of the MidWest before fading into oblivion.

That #6 car looks familiar; the first ride i had racing in URC in 1967. That car was a real handfull to drive!! Never knew where it was going next!!

 

Hillegass sprint car.

 

Needs a little sign on the back that says, "RADIO AHEAD, 'CAUSE YOU AIN'T GONNA CATCH ME!"
