PUNK OP top fuel P Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,717 Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.	Does anyone know if this guy is still building the k-members? I have noticed in the past that there are several people that use his stuff and its real nice. My friend has been trying to contact him and has not been successfull. I actually have 2 friends trying to reach LRT. His K is exactly what we are looking for. We arent interested in the coil over front ends for our applications. 10.53 @ 125mph. 1.37 60 foot. Caltracs and Monoleafs, AFCO shocks. Heads by INDIO MOTOR MACHINE; IMM. CP Pistons, PC Carbs.

He is waiting for billet steering arms to be finished bfore he builds any more K frames! He is having them made now, should be done in 1-2 weeks. So if you can wait a little while you can get one of LRT's tubular K frames.

I would be glad to post his email reply... which was... he was not interested in helping out. I'll believe 1 to 2 weeks when h311 freezes over. I will be replacing mine with an AlterK. I might then have mine available. 68 RR 528" INDY MAXX 07 2500 CTD Southwest International Raceway - IHRA - Tucson, AZ

Dave would not help or even pick the phone up when I called he is a real piece of work. badwej@hotmail.com Sean Parker Toronto Ontario Canada

It's still lighter and much simpler than all others and uses mostly stock parts Wow, that baby's got some time on it. Thanks for the pic, can you shoot some more from different angles or, from times when the motor is out? Thanks Fred, I always wanted to see how the 60-70's tech approach to rack and pinion was handled. (grey goose) Leigh
