They are the ones that finally located Will Kenny's rig after he was killed testing on the street in Chicago.
It had been out of site for about 5 years.
The debut it at Mid-Ohio last year and took it to Miller then finally Barber last year.
Eye candy is right and it doesn't run to bad with an inexperienced driver and a rookie passenger.
I even was given the pleasure of giving a couple of taxi rides with me at the controls rather than the chair. :shock:

Good to see this rig back out on the track. It is looking great and sounds like it is running well.

Anyone have any idea what happened to Willie's F2 Rig?

First time I have looked at this post; the dustbin looks just a little too much like mine, which Ron Brooks makes now. The main body came from Clark Wallace's rig but I added about 3" to the height, the deck was added with plywood and an inflated car tube, I left some of the huge holes in the front for air scoops.

This is the fairing made by Ron Brooks for me for the last 6-8 years, from my original. Paul.

I used to make the same fairings a few yrs back. The mould is at Jean Guys at maxville .Im sure if someone wanted it he would sell it.I made a couple for Bob Coy and I know there was at least two other vrra rigs with my fairings on, this was going back about 12yrs or so ago, but I did see the mould last weekend.

The couple I remember from Bob's were fatter at the bottom, a pregnant look to them, and I do not remember a deck in them? Paul.
