If you put a good bike engine in a Junior Dragster? Suicide or barrels of fun?
The junior would be too narrow to keep straight and upright, and the chassis is pretty light. There are dragster chassis available on pretty much any size you could want, able to accept pretty much any engine you can imagine.
Can't say I've ever seen a bike engined one. Interesting thought, but with bracket racing, the only reason to use a small, highly stressed engine is for personal desire.
Bike engines are cool, but harder to put in a car than it sounds. Still not going to stop us.
There are some really good deals out there. I recently bought an 01 gsxr 1000 motor: $128 (after shipping), 140 ish lbs, 160 ish HP.

Nah, what you want is a legend car.

A Junior Dragster is just enough tubing to hold a seat, a Briggs & Stratton horizontal-shaft engine, and some sort of chain drive.
Putting a motorcycle engine it would be the trivial part. Finding someone to drive it a second time would be the hard part.

Man, he was going flat out for a LONG TIME in that one section... I wouldn't want to have something happen and leave the road at that speed. Yeesh!

I was working turn 8 last year when a legend car came in too hot. He somehow threaded the needle between two sets of concrete barriers, and wedged the tire wall under him hard enough to stop him from hitting a post and a low barrier. Only real damage was a bent grille.
