Dragon SR2
Dragon Sr2 P1/P2
SCCA Runoffs 2007
This Dragon Project started in 2004 and hit the track for the first time in 2006. The Aluminum Monocouqe chassis is designed around a specific set of aerodynamic principles and features a much larger and effective underbody than the “tunnel” type cars. This means less wing is necessary to meet lift targets giving less drag on the track.
Sr2 sans Bodywork
· Aluminum full monocoque chassis
· Front undertray diffusers
· Carbon fiber Main Diffuser
· SFRE Carbon fiber 1 or 2 element wing
· Quaife based Final drive torque sensing under acceleration and braking
· Accepts most motorcycle packages (auto package/FTR available)
· 820 lbs ready to race

Creation of a Dragon
Building a completely new car starts with a set of ideas and targets, moves to design and then the dust starts to fly when components, chassis and bodywork are made. Here are a few progress shots of the 001 Sr2 build.
Beginning of the Body Buck
Many hours later….
Components like these Billet rear uprights
are built onsite, not outsourced.
