This page may not appear properly. If anyone wishes to send sketches of their own designs, we'll set up another page for those. This page will document the design and construction of the vehicle. Rear stays and seatback members are on the chassis perimeter lines. Steering is by auto-style Ackermann linkage.
Provision is made for the use of a flywheel energy storage device.
In the Unlimited Recumbent Dragster class, the flywheel windup is yellow-lighted for 60 seconds or so. Rubber smokes and the vehicle accelerates rapidly. The piloto cranks madly to maintain the momentum, following the burst of flywheel energy upon launch. This set of materials is the basis of the design because they are materials which were already at hand. Due to the use of thin-wall aluminum tubing, this design uses a fairly complicated truss structure to give the chassis adequate stiffness and strength.
