Chassis Construction
The three pictures here show the chassis early in the build phase in the prototype shop. As can be seen the chassis is fully triangulated and the SCCA mandated roll over structure has been
fully incorporated into the chassis.
  The
rear of the chassis is upswept to allow for a more efficient venturi to be installed and still clear the wishbones etc. This chassis has been built around the ZX10 engine in dry sump
configuration but any of the modern motorcycle power units can be used.
August 12, 2001: Paul Shipp wins his first SCCA DSR National race at Grattan.
June 3, 2001: Paul qualified 3rd and finished 5th at the Mid-Ohio National, with the new car straight out of the shipping crate.
