LSR SR1 Race Team Update

[LSRGreg]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEJLoUoFytY]YouTube - Lucas Oil Off Road Heads to Speedworld Off Road Park on April 16th & 17th, 2011[/ame]

Rounds 3 and 4 are already upon us. We’ve been busy updating the chassis with some new safety items that were put into effect for the 2011 season. We had to add some diagonal bracing, and change the window nets, and mounting rods to comply with the new rules.

The rear wheel hub bearings were pretty much toast, so we tore those down and installed new bearings.

I installed some crossover spacers so we can get the rear springs working like they should again, from the new shocks we ran last race.

At the request of tech inspection, we added a couple stickers to show track crews where the fuel cell is located in the event of emergency.

And we need to repair the front bumper from my roll over in round 1.

Make sure all you AZ fans come out to see the excitement unfold right in front of your eyes this weekend at Speedworld in North Phoenix (Suprise, AZ)

This is by far the best looking car out there. The radius cage looks sweet. If I was to start over, I would go that way for sure. Great job with a great car. Good luck.

 

[LSRGreg]

Thanks Bobby! that means a lot. I sunk a ton of effort into this sucker to accomplish that goal!

Has the chassis powder faded that much already?

 

[JoeyD23]

probably just the lighting and then the sprayed areas from the re-build make it look softer...

Hey can I ask how does that window net latch work? Looks pretty beefy. Did you buy that or make it?

no.. just crappy cell phone pics and weird lighting, and the spray painted green was as close as we could get.. when its outside its hardly noticeable. Congrats on selling your rhino, and finally wanting to move out of your parents place. I'll send you some axles for your new pad, so u can put them up on the wall.

A little bit of both.. Its just a seat belt latch from a 5 point harness. I can't remember the company that makes them, but they have 3 different versions. this is one of them. Most race car places carry them, like Summit and Jegs etc. We made the bars, and attachment points.

Thanks,

So did you buy the whole belt then? Just checking around didn't notice just the latch.

Sorry to bug you but haven't seen the net release like this before and I like the setup.

Most places who sell window nets will offer this type of window net mount kit, with the latch style closure and the rod already welded to it, and a bottom rod and all the tabs needed. You can find some examples on summitracing.com too.

 

[LSRGreg]

Here is a link to basically what we have.. Competition Engineering 4903 - Competition Engineering Window/Cage Nets - Overview - SummitRacing.com but we have to have a specific rod size for the new rules for LOORRS.

Car is looking good! I cant wait until you guys make it back to Utah. I have been watching the new course go in at Miller Motorsports Park and we even took a lap in my buddys rhino a few weeks ago pretending we where as fast as you guys
