    Chopped and lowered early Series racingt Rover!

    I just found this vid buried in another thread from a few years ago and figured it is well worth a bump.

    An early Series chopped and lowered for the racing track. This vehicle shows very little body roll.

    Incidently, I am always amazed how tight the 88" rovers are on banked interstate entrance and exit ramps....they actually handle tighter than than Wranglers with quite a bit less body roll. I am assuming this is because of the heavy duty leaf springs and the fairly decent weight distribution. The same can't be said for taking a county 109 around corners....as anybody that has done so knows WELL!!! LOL.

      Very true, East High! Or then again, it might be a smoking, belchy Zenith !!

      EDIT: Looking at the vid again, I think it CAN NOT be Lucas. Because notice that the headlights were working well THROUGHOUT the course !
