Barry,
Thanks for the info. I assume that you could use any motor
that you wanted too. Of course that might change the racing class you
would run in. The original Tiger has a short wheel base. Does this
cause problems in some racing classes? I seem to recall that some drag
racing classes had a larger minimum wheel base for non-factory cars.
