The drive shaft only failed once, and that was because I cleverly added a stress raiser.

Drive shaft failed once, and the center bearing failed once, at Miller.

Fired it up, drove it onto the trailer and hauled it to the Sacramento Car Show.   

It was great fun to drive my dusty, loud, dented, smoking two stroke by all the pristine show cars... It drew some ire and some wide grins...   

  The Lemons cars at the show are a good cross section of the series.

aaaa this is amazing, a 2 stroke powered race car!

I have dreamed about this but with the 300hp 2stroke engine instead (http://www.evinrude.com/en-us/engines/e … tec_300_v6)

The sound and smell is just fantastic.
