Small Fortune Unveils Dragon Sr2

After improving upon their multi- time Solo 2 National Championship winning Dragon Sr1, Small Fortune Racing Enterprises has announced homologation of their Sr2 for DSR. The semi-monocoque aluminum chassis weighs only 790 pounds dry, while utilizing a dry sumped Suzuki GSXR 1000 engine and Quaife TSD. The newly designed Dragon Sr2 bodywork is formed using vacuum bagged carbon fiber.

While the Sr1 was developed over many year via evolutionary changes to an unfinished LeGrand Mk25 (revising suspension, engine, driveline, etc.), the Sr2 is a complete new creation using SFRE designed chassis, uprights, drive system, and proprietary body design. The suspension design utilizes pull rod front actuation and push rods at the rear.

The aerodynamic elements include carbon fiber front splitter, rear underwing, and main wing, all design by SFRE and produced by long time partner Pennon Composites. The Sr2 is built to accommodate a wide range of driver sizes, with features such as a fully adjustable steering mechanism (which adjusts for length, height, and angle) and adjustable pedal cluster.

Bill Gendron of SFRE says, "This purpose built single seat car utilizes a semi-monocoque chassis and state of the art aerodynamics giving every driver the edge that is needed for Club Racing, Hillclimb or Solo competition."
