Comments: Comment:  Wayne in colors most often seen on Buzzie's cars.  I'm not a suspension/chassis guy, but maybe one of you guys that are can tell us what in the heck is going on with those short little springs on the front end.

01.06.16 John McCaughey I believe that car had the inboard mounted coilovers with cantilevers. It was built by Profile Racing in Flemington and was Wayne's car even though it was in Buzzie's colors. I saw Buzzie run it in a heat at Nazareth once and he was a rocket! I don't think this car ran that often, though...
01.06.16 Rick Shive Those little short springs are part of the independent front end. This is a Profile chassis, and they designed an A frame front end for this car, don't know if it was real successful. The springs appear to be inboard mounted.
01.07.16 3Wide Thanks for the information John & Rick.
01.07.16 Ricky Rutt That is definitely a profile car with the cantilever front end and vertical frame hoops.  The Rags Carter 4jr coupe ran the same frame.
