I've run across an interesting video of an Ultimate Speed racer that you may want to check out. You can see it at my website:
http://www.wr-racing.com/id36.html along with some new pictures and other interesting stuff.
Spy video? Hardly. It was a news piece filmed at the Rockford, IL Memorial Day Weekend Rally.
The Ultimate car you see belongs to a driver in the MidWest (I don't want to publish the name without permission) -- what you see in the news piece is a simple trial run we did with that car-- versus a masters car (and NO ramps). Very early on in that car's build-- note there's no paint job yet.
With just the hill (again, NO ramps) - the ultimate car beat the masters car by something like 5 or 6 car lengths. WHOOOSH.
The Ultimate race at Akron is going to be great fun this year- I am looking forward to seeing ALL the cars and variations in design.
