cams are the women of the engine world! everyone has their own favorite and you wont be able to convince them otherwise! lol but IMO, what you are...
I would think the Scot blower is more a show piece than anything. much less efficient than other roots style blowers. guys who run them typically...
I just realized something about the carbs you were running. You said you had 94's... but called them 2110s. 2110 carbs were not 165cfm. If you had...
I talked with Pete about having a cam ground for a blower motor last year when I had my 1007b ground. I tossed an extra core into the box and...
Rick was running a little hotter than this flatty I bet! Not sure what kind of problems but when you push them there can be issues. Common one was...
Anyone know the owner of this flathead with the blower? Building a similar setup with an eaton and wanted to pick their brain about the crank...
Yeah, 750cc bike motors are a bit different than the car engines of yesterday. 140hp stock in a tiny package that includes transmission! Strap me...
the bold pretty much applies to every racing series and I've run a few. lol i hear you on being different too. when I ran the bike engined...
gotcha, that was my initial thought. as for cruising around, all these cars are dedicated race cars after all the safety requirements are met....
not asking you to look them up, just wondering why the scta records listed online didn't go below H classes for the 6.b vintage category....
why no records listed then??
I was looking at some pretty interesting "big" straight 6 engines from old gas powered buses. something like a hall scott. sure it weighs over a...
no first hand experience, but I've been told metallics are good for that, especially if the doors are layed flat or hung at a different angle from...
little google work turns up that this is the bean bandits car. running in rear engine modified roadster classes with a 27 body. pretty cool
yup, I've seen them in old drag cars. aka "the sidewinder" but never anything modern. after having run the minisprints I have wondered if this...
rich, I used to race Mini-sprints on dirt ovals. these are chain driven with a motor cycle engine. 1200cc methanol injected full mod bike motors...
I've followed this years bonneville racing more than I ever have and I'm getting a little intrigued. always have been I guess, but I'm looking...
What is this! Chain driven flAthead with exhaust ports out the top! Sent from my SM-G965U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
i just realized why the changes to Ron's speeds. He switched to "fuel" to break his own record again in that class! must be doing something right,...
yeah, not really looking to run just doing the mental racing. it's what I do at night instead of counting sheep. sometimes I think it keeps me...
I know this isn't a proper reply to what you guys are doing, but could you run this class with a newer body truck with the old motor?? from my...
there is one thing about a lathe, the more combinations of tools you own and the more creative you are, the more uses you can have for it. there...
looking at this mornings results isn't so good! looks like he pulled off right away on the first run of the day and after after the first mile on...
per the scta site it looks like Ronnie roadster got the record up to 195.65 so far! 192 is old record, 195.65 is "new" hopefully hes got a little...
patience?? where do I get me some of this mythical substance you refer too!
speedway doesn't sell the real ones do they??
wonder how much difference there is in power on the supercharged motor at 7000ft adjusted altitude.
Have heard they are hit or miss. The floats can crack during adjustment and sink which will do what you describe. Pull the tops and check them...
Any word from ronnie yet?
