I saw the frame, but did not see any tops listed. I was on his site but the links to the roofs are dead so not thinking they are being produced but want to know for sure.
yes unfortunately our upholstery shop , retired and sold out and we havent had time to source another shop where they can be made feasaaly , al kinds of shops looking to get rich off a few top sales but none where they can be marketed feasably. it will be this winter before i can get around to spending enough time sourcing out different upholstery ,boat top type people that will make the project feasable again.

we just werent happy with Donnys V1 so we spruce it up with a V2 Plus 1 Quad conversion , and rear fenders , also a front set of fenders from Jonathon Escotto, Painter snuck in some gloss black over my texture sprayed fenders when I wasnt looking, what does he know about painting anyway lol

yah its hard to say , but i dont see anywhere where she had to crank the wheels left to pull out of the shoulder which almost always results in skidding to the left and across the center line skidding in the wrong direction

I.ve spent a lot of time considering Tanyas claim she never left the road and that she actually felt the load shift that helped launch her,. the video released yesterday answers all the questions in my mind. I'm not so sure she felt the load shift , but she would have felt the aerodynamic effects of lift from that load configured as it was., running hard in the twisties,
Thankfully there was a blue slingshot running directly in front of her in the video and we can clearly see how it , configured properly, handled that exact same curve at the exact same speed. The plunging dip in the curve set her up for disaster., I dont think she caught the shoulder.
Watching the video in its slow motion section . from ;26 seconds on ,
we can see what impact the dip had . The video producer edited it down to slo mo but kept the clock running on normal speed , so we can note what happened where. In a normal right curve the load would have been transferring to the outside at an anticipated rate, but we can see at ;26 watching the blue Sling where the dip plunged the weight onto the inside front corner as they entered the curve compressing the wrong shock. From ;27 to ;34 .we can see the weight shift transfer from the inside corner rebounding back to the outside corner on the curve, At this point ;35 to ;36 the Blue Sling driver driver has to make an immediate steering input correction stopping the weight shift transfer and maintaining it there throughout the remainder of the curve. Which he did well.
Noting where on the curve he made that correction we can then replay, this time focusing on Tanya . we can see her weight plunged into the curve compressing the wrong shock and we can see at exactly the same spot the blue sling did, her weight start to transfer back to the outside of the curve , ;31 to ;35, the only difference being , when Tanya tried to make the blue sling correction, stopping the outbound weight transfer, gravity took effect and the shifting weight transfer (with those flags flying and rack load at such a high center of gravity) just had too much weight shifting momentum for the correct driver input to overcome. Tanya was doomed the second she entered that reversing dip on such a sharp curve at that speed with her load configured as it was and no driver expertise could have prevented that weight shift with it's momentum from continuing on.
In my opinion, Slingshots properly configured can overcome many obstacles and sharp corners and Tanya routinely runs with the big boys throughout the twisties, but an improperly configured Slingshot has it's limitations.

chavey2 absolutely,, those single stock shoulder strap belts tanya was wearing were never designed to offer any protection whatsoever from being ragdolled sideways in a roll over. They were designed to keep you in place only on a frontal collision. Only A four point harness would have prevented the ragdolling .
Yourself and Phil Ward have experienced what happens in a rollover , Phil's wife experienced broken vertabraes in her back and Phil studied and wrote plenty of information on the early day forums regarding his decision to install 4 points after that .

.I'm with you flying flags that high at a good speed applies loads where you should never apply loads. the weight of that cargo box loaded up that high and that far behind the rear wheel is an accident waiting to happen when pushing the envelope. All is well for a sunday go to church ride around the events but everything was stacked against Tanya going into that dipping curve that hard . Donny and a few others were right behind he told me today, although the video doesn't portray it well, they were running hard there, and when your pushing the envelope, external loads where there shouldnt be any ,are going to have a consequence , Tanya says the cargo box shifted . A vehicle doesnt just go airborne like that for no reason . There's a place for flags and high center of gravity loads like that and its not on the twisties at speed. . .

OH MY GOD, She came down hard right on that tee bar! I cannot believe it absorbed as much impact as it did and distributed it over all four corners without a structural failure. .Mine is off right now as I wanted the best looking photos for my Plus 1 shots but I can tell you its going back on now!

Thank God she’s okay!!!
yep, here's her post off her page from an hour ago

A good friend of many of us here in the forum , Tonya Martin Simpson, wrecked today on her way home from the ride , Storm the Mountain. Shes now in good enough spirits to reach out and tell everybody on FB she 's oaky and posted these pictures . a few broken ribs and a lot of bumps and bruises ,
Barrell rolled and ended back up on her wheels in the ditch ! Thank God , it could have been much worse.

Bummer thanks for the inquiry , if you have any more questions you can contact me here any time or with a private conversation, or email me at allthingsslingshot@gmail.com
The Dollies have been around without incident since day one .One of the original forum guys here, Scootertrash , built a few for himself and his Indy friends but didnt have any intentions of doing it commercially so with his input, we designed the new self centering and lower trays and put out well over 100 now . They truly are the simplest, fastest way to load and transport your Slingshot , especially for those who dont have the room or desire for a full size trailer year round..

Darryl Cannon ,The proprietor of Killboy.com is quite the driver, he's done feature videos of all kinds of hot vehicles on the Dragon, daily, its his business. When he asked to do my Slingshot when he saw it with the Plus 1 Quad Kit , I had no idea what I was in for . The tires were wore out and have since been replaced. The run down was on wet pavement from the prior rain. He impressed the shit out of me, but why is the ride from the passenger side , so much more nerve wracking , then the drive from the driver's
side lol

On cool evenings I rest my arm on the e brake handle and hold onto the shifter base, there's enough heat there then to warm your whole body , when its like +90 out you could fry an egg there with plenty of the engine bay heat travelling out right through the tranny tunnel

MiM thats a Track Hamr with an awesome air ride system where the tubular frame is the air tank and Scot has added some cool calibration system . I got to chat with Troy Hill there for a while , then he came over to our area and visited for a half an hour and compared kits. I've always enjoyed chatting with Troy. Both the PLUS 1 and the Trak Hamr are good kits, they are just two different kits.
