So far, so good. I'm guessing from that rear Goodyear Eagle you're not planning on doing a lot of cornering.

Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

It does have to turn off the track at the end, and there's a corner or two on the way to scrutineering so it does a little bit of cornering yeah! The Goodyear tyre is only for mockup purposes, it'll have a Mickey Thomson on for the track.
The Tube joints are whats known as Bronze welded, or braze welded yeah. A close up....

When I was building racing go cart chassis, they were brazed so the frames will flex, thus becoming the "suspension" in the chassis. On a dragbike frame you DON'T want flex! I am interested to hear how this works out. Good luck, I hope this works. Great looking design. How many inches is the wheelbase, & how big will the engine be?
