    It took five years but I finally got the twin plug set up together and running. Pre-War state-of-the-art

    Best I can do is this old one for now, but I'll be driving it to the Trompers Swap Meet next weekend and I'll ask a friend to borrow his GoPro.

    I believe that video is somewhere on this thread! Or it might be a flathead thread. The Sandy Belond roadster is awesome!!!

    From the rake of the screen to the stance and the awesome dry lake scene behind. Wow, perfection!

    i looked in this thread, and others, and couldn't find anything. trying to find pre-war dry lakes racing class information. looking for definitive info on the guidelines for cars to fall into particular classes.

    in particular, i wonder what a banger powered 27 roadster on an A frame would classify as.

    thanks.

    Sorry, I figured with the history on hand here in this thread, and the nature of it, that the question was applicable here.

    I like the way you're thinking Mark. It sounds like we are after the same thing with our T projects!

    No real engine size classes prewar just roadster, modified, streamliner. In '41 they brought in a new rule for any car running an engine with a stock displacement of 260 cu.i or greater, those cars would run in a new unlimited class regardless of body type

    A banger powered 27 T roadster would simply be in Roadster class.

    Leave it to the man myth and legend Jimmy B for the answer. He's like the Rikster of Hot Rods!

    thanks Jimmy. So, no letter prefix or suffix on the number?

    JJ, I think Rikster is the Jimmy B of hot rods...
