2005 Supercrawl 4 Las Vegas
|
Fabtech's Tracy Jordan was driving his teammate Bruce Zeller's VW-powered moon-mobile, and took it all the way to the winner's circle. An interesting fact is that ex-desert-racetruck designer John Nelson started the mid-engine buggy craze, and the two buggies that he designed and built finished this event First and Second. The moonbuggy name applies to buggies with the engine right behind the driver seat, with the transmission (usually a Powerglide two-speed auto) and Atlas transfer case mounted beside the driver. This design has a very low center of gravity, but requires that the axles (often custom Ford 9-inch) be run upside down to correct the gear rotation. View Related Article
