These were originally created by a local guy (Dan Lewis I believe) and I guess he sold the design rights to Paragon. I got my set from my lhs guy and he used to sell them back in the day. According to Doug Carter they were not a very good design as they supposedly collapsed in actual racing. I've seen this story before but wasn't sure it would be of interest to anyone here, oh well.
