Does anyone out there remember Karl's independent rear sprinter? Somewhere around the mid 80's. I think it had the fuel cell in the nose and radiator in the tail. I'm not sure if it made it out of Flrida the year he tried it. If anyone has pictures or know if it was like in Open Wheel, put up a post so I don't think I'm crazy...

It was suppose to save money. Steve hated it. I think they changed back to a normal car and won a race before they left florida.

I think it had a rear end and rear spindals off a corvette. Sweet rack like a stock car uses. It really did not work out the way Karl thought it would right out of the box. But we all know that if he would have worked with it long enough he would have won a championship with.
Karl put sprintcar racing to were it is today. When him and Steve was together they could have won a championship in 39 chevy.
