I could see your car, but not the rat you were racing. who won? j/k

 

I used to have a pet rat that I would race against the neighbor kids rats. Made it to the State Finals at the fair, and then he got banned for preformance enhancing drugs.

Damn shame..........

ROB

 

I congratulate, and envy, you!

How many people can say they have been land speed racing?

Guys are gigging ya on the rat stuff, alot of us don't care for the term.

That was pretty cool, now what 120 ?

 

i am up to 125, with wrong gearing, next month 140. As far as the rat thing I have thick skin, just bring your ride to maxton.

 

How fast will they let you run on those Cokers?

Rich

 

Great to see a car getting driven-- hard.

Was the 110 mph limit based on the car's safety equipment or your experience?

 

What were your 60' times?

 

i would like a large with butter...and a medium Coke.
this gonna be good.

 

you have to prove your car is safe and will go striaght,so110,then 120 etc.
guy really needs some more roll bars to be safe over 120 IMHO.

So this isn't drag racing. My bad.

 

Mind if I join ya?

 

1 car at a time, like at bonnieville, but shorter track

 

First run has to be under 110, then 125, then 147 and on up
I change my gearing so I am at 143 but now I have to add more roll bar on the inside. The bigest problem is the track is not smooth so my 1929 front end is a little rough this is ecta racing which is the bonniville of the east. you have a little over a mile to get up to speed then you are timed within a 100 foot trap. alot of fun.

 

cool that was fun can you let me know when you guys are getting together again guysmalley@mac.com

 

143 is pretty much what I would do. but they had no problem at the lower speeds
