I never thought I'd see somebody finally make the Sucker Car. What a treat. I'll be watching, too.

It looked nice from the view that I got of it yesterday at the Pan Americana proxy race!
Looking forward to seeing Bob's build of this car. Looks like it should be amenable to a SW FC-130 motor configuration, too, since the chassis takes a Slot.It pod and rear end clearance is definitely not an issue.

This has come up before... I think it was Mark Thomas... What about a separate, tiny motor for the suckers? It should work the same way, right?

Bob - I see it must have been a very special occasion - since you broke out the waterford crystal to rest the body on.....
I may borrow that nose picture - I haven't been able to capture that fine detail...... Thats what .0007 of an inch looks like!!

Very helpful, Bob; thanks. I'll be heading into a build on that car for my CanAm P-class entry.

Looking good!
How stiff is the chassis?
