looking for a old hotrod artical

[A/Fuel]

i've been looking for a artical i saw a while back of the andvil where they used nitro.
i've searched the hotrod site and came up empty. i don't remember the date, but it couldn't have been more than a couple of years ago. i can't believe i lost it, but i've looked and looked and i can't find it.
if some one has it, i'll buy it from them, if there is a link, i'd very much appreciate it.
thanks

Re: looking for a old hotrod artical

I know what motor and article you're talking about. They built a super solid bottom end and started off running it just on motor, and upgraded it from there through several cominations in several articles and ended up running it on nitro or alcohol, I don't remember which. I probably have it somewere, but I'll have to dig through the shed and huge stacks of old mags. If I can come up with it, I'll PM you and find out were to send it.

A/Fuel....when I have a shot this evening, I'll comb through the Lohnes Institute for Drag Racing and Hot Rod History (my basement) and find it for you.

Unless some other kind soul beats me to the punch.

I'll race you.

But I don't know were you live. You might have the time zone holeshot on me before I get off work. ;D ;D ;D ;D

You beat me.  I don't take loosing well.  ;D  But my tractor is older and bigger than yours.  :P

I didn't even get a chance to check.  But to be fair, we have had 40-50 MPH wind and so much dirt in the air you can't see 100 yards in front of you.  I didn't really feel like going out to the shed when I got home.

I know.  Excuses, excuses!  ;D

BTW, can you come up with the CHP issue when Zora Arkus-Duntov died. I have it, just wondering if the stash is that encompassing. ;D

Even the world renowned institute has it's limits. Although we're always seeking wealthy benefactors to have different wings named after themselves. The laundry room is currently up for bid.

I think 125 -150k would earn you lifetime naming rights.

Long story short....don't got it.

I was sifting through the pile of HRM's in my archives as well. I didn't locate the issue with the nitro, but I did stumble across the issue with the BAD SEED Chevette in it. Ah... the good old days. Man, that magazine used to be a LOT of fun.
