The Seven-Dwarf Racing Team is participating in SOLO II racing this year. In these events a course is layed out, usually on a parking lot or other large piece of ashphalt, using construction pylons to mark the course. Cars run one at a time, and the objective is to get through the course as quickly as possible without hitting cones (a 2 second penalty) or going off course (a disqualification).
Cars compete against other which are roughly equivalent, so the dwarf car competes in an "unlimited modified" class (named differently at different events) against other home built cars and purpose built race cars. With it's short wheelbase and excellent handling, the dwarf car should be pretty competitive against the others in it's class. Here are some pictures and movies from our first event at the Push It to The Limit series held by the Mazda club. These guys run great events and are really nice to "weird" cars like ours.
The Centrinity Race team really has 2 cars. One is the dwarf car which is the subject of this site. The other is a home built Lotus Super 7 replica built by our friend Ron and powered by a Mazda RX-7 engine. In the photos/movies that follow, Ron's car is the purple car, the dwarf car is the little silver/grey one.
