What's the rpm in low gear at 30 mph? somewhere around 6k or so, right? plenty of boost up there
Thing is it only takes something like 10hp to keep 3500lbs moving at 40mph....... So I'm taking it the other 6 cylinders not working are really working against them......Last edited by TC; August 17, 2011, 05:41 PM.

I think it's great that they at least gave it the ole ,we don't give up..
but that maybe only because it was an open record and makes for good print..
bet they red locktight every carb from here on out..
it being sucked up and out (with vacuum sucking down) sounds like I need boots on..
what monkey broke it off.. we'll never know..
good reading none the less and next time bring a spare bullet

here is the other record.
.873B Clever Clatter 350CC A-PBG 0.000 15.851 Lombardini
but there is a big stink over this rule, because rules say an motorcycle must run a Motorcycle engine. ( or so on the landracing .com forums)Reading , Pa
