Buschurs Tube Talon...

tpunx99GSX · 02-07-2007

Anyone know what happened to Buschurs Tube Chassis Talon? I have been wondering this lately and cant seem to find much on google. I think that had to be one of the best DSM rivalrys between Rau and Buschur.

yea, heres a hint.

The only question I have is, why hasnt Shep unleashed the beast? I would bet if Shep put his motor (or an identical setup) in that car, it would stomp Rau.

Thats crazy. i thought maybe Buschur like crashed it or something. It looks like Shep won it on pinks.

That would be sweet if shep built it and ran after Rau, Another Rivalry.

Can someone actually save the pic and attach it here? mysperm is fucking blocked at work.

Here you go.

Whats funny is that on his myspace the caption under the picture is "Working late into the night at my shop with Brent Rau"

So I take it that's Sheps shop? To me all that says is Shep could be working on it.... I would think there would already be more info out there if for some reason Shep now owned the 2G.

Last I heard is that Shep bought it, but that is Brents car in the right hand corner of the pic.

Yeah its sheps, in a slide show it has him "playing in the tube car". lol

Well that's cool, looking forward to seeing what he does with it. This is the first pic of the shop I've seen, looks like a very nice and clean setup.

I'd love to see those two go at it.

You're forgetting that Brent has a Liberty tranny, Shep has a glide. It would take some power to overcome that difference, plus Brent has mucho experience driving RWD. And Shep's car would probably have a 100-200# weight penalty for the different chassis configurations. I think Brent would take it every time by quite a bit.

So why is Brents car at Sheps shop?

Brent and the RWD Talon aren't even in the same class. Brent's isn't a full tube frame and his class requires the car to be heavier and run a smaller turbo.

A certain friend of mine (dustin) was "fisting" the tube car. Her husband, eric, is shep's lead go-to guy.

He's running NHRA this year, but I can't find any info on the classes for that newer than 2005.

Swifty that picture is so fucking awesome. I wonder if he sent it to David Buschur with a quote "Your pride and joy gettin fisted like a 12 year old schoolgirl"

That pic probably shouldn't have made it to the internet.

Only tom would fill in the blank of "fisted like a....." with "12 year old schoolgirl."
