SCTA vintage records shouldn't be on books

OK, so I guess you are comparing different Cl***es with Different Rules to eachother....

Seems to me that makes your rant pretty pointless.

Are you even a participant?

Then or now?

 

So you buy a book and now you're a ****ing expert...

Personally, I'd trust those old records about as far as I could throw an unlightened Model A flywheel...

I have seen this answer before. It's a lie. That thrust is possable on paper at "0" mph. As foward speed of the prop increases the potental thrust decreases. Now we all know airplanes are pretty fast. And they have to use a lot of their energy producing lift. A car would be using it all for thrust. Sounds good. So Franklin I say again. Just how fast has your demo prop racer gone?

 

Come on- "Now that's some funny stuff right there."

 

African or European?

 

****in' Florida!

 

You just miss the point don't you?
With the limited CuInch rules that limits the possibility of attaining a record to just the wealthy who can afford all the best parts and work.
The way it is now, Joe bloggs in his back yard can build a car and set a record. I'm all for that, creates more interest when you can work with a tight budget in your cl*** and still be compe***ive.
The outright records are still there, you are fixated on them. Hands up who can afford to run at that level?
Dang, I didn't see a one!
Get over it you tool. Your ***bersome antiquated technology prop car is an even bigger joke! Monocoque construction? WTF? For a guy claiming to be smart you dont even know what Monocoque is! With the tube construction that places it firmly out of the definition. ****, you know exactly **** ALL!
Doc.

 

When one looks at the attached photos of skatecars from 1977 and 1978 it is easy to envision very similar cars at Bonneville but stretched to accommodate 50 cc or 85 cc engines.

There were streamliners at Speedweek 2008 that didn't have aerodynamics as good as some of these skatecars.

In regards to the SCTA not adding a cl*** until someone asks for it, isn't that based on the ***umption all racers are equally smart and that more than one racer will think of the same good idea?
