Some progress on the Indy racer project (pics)


Recommended Posts

The chassis for my 1932 Indy racer reproduction got delivered. It looks great, very accurate from what I can tell. I have two 250 cu in President engines to work on, an aluminum head, and the 4 Stromberg carbs. I'm still looking for a 1932-33 President front axle. This would all go faster if my check book could stand the pain, LOL! My wife says, "You want the racer, you don't get to retire! Oh, and I want a few things for me since there seems to be a little cash to spare." She's a very insightful and supportive woman.

A friend pointed me to a book called "Race Car Vehicle Dynamics" by Milliken and Milliken. It will be a help in setting up the steering geometry and spring rates based on current knowledge.
