sprint cars are not my specialty but looks like maybe a old WCM with a belt drive conversion? Thats my guess 8)

I See the car is on ebay. I wish you would have given some of us on here a shot to buy it first.

None takin, just meant since you ask for help here you would offer to us first. This is the perfect place to generate interest. Thats why I ask if you wanted to sell it. :D I would really like to know what you are trying to get for it so I could get it from you instead of fighting over it on ebay. Pm me a price if your interested.

I just spoke to Rick at WCM and he said that he belives this is a copy of an older WCM sprint, He said the nerf bars dont match up, the w link on the rear, the tail tank, and the cross brace on the front of the frame, he also says that WCM has never welded a frame, that they have always been brazed together.
Does anyone know of another company that made a car similar to this?
Thanks Fred

Not sure at all, but looks a lot like the Dynamix chassis. Maybe an early version of the more current cars I have seen. I have a 2003 model that has very similar features? My guess anyway?

Will send you some over the weekend. I tried to find out who made the Dynamix with no luck, but somebody on here might know, which may also help?

I guess Todd at BRP might have an idea as to a possible make, I will get in contact with him to see what he can tell me as well.
I will post all the info I can get, I am getting ready to strip it down and restore the car, I ordered a set of Todds goodyear tires for it, I should have them after Xmass. :D
