First of all a big Hi! to everyone
I am Dimitris from Greece and the last few years have become crazy about the lotus-seven-style kit cars (caterham tiger westfield etc.)
I have searched a lot in the internet but I think I will find many answers in this forum
So, let's begin: I am thinking of starting a Westfield Megabusa (BEC bike engined car) as soon as possible. The thing is that its use here in Greece will be - at least at the beginning - in dragraces or track races. That's because self construction cars (kit cars) can't get plates in greece which means I will have to get it to England or maybe Italy and get plates, and then get it back to Greece through customs.
So we have drag and track races. What is your opinion? What is the 1/4 mile time of a megabusa (tested, not estimated) and how low can this time go? As for dragraces, the megabusa will be in the greek OPEN category cause of its chasis which means it will race with a very powerful Lotus Esprit from Axion Design which runs low 9 in the 1/4 mile!
I will need your help and opinion
