Sprint car frame ID

Post by oldschoolmidget »

Hello Guys,
I got this sprint frame from a friend today. Never seen one like it before. The rear of the frame is odd. The side profile of the frame, mid section looks like a Quickdraw. What do you guys think? Love the color.

Hello,
Anybody know or ever seen one? Have any pictures? I'm pretty sure it's a Quickdraw frame. Close to the supermod frame but a little different.

Its a Quickdraw sprint frame. They were built that way for Lance Love. Supposedly handled better, lower to ground.

It was called a "lightweight sprint car". It was QD's answer to some of the sprint cars being more like modifieds than sprints.
It was basically a modified with a taller cage to meet the sprint car rule. I have one that Lance ran. Was your "friend" cindy?

Hello Big,

Thank you for the information. My big friend Allan Fontain picked it up at some RC swap meet. He's more into 1/10 scale truck racing.
