Hot Rod Special - Sets Record With 2 Cylinders !

[squirrel]

I have broken boosters off with a screwdriver before

freak stuff , but efi would have cured the problem hahahahahaha OMG LOL

again with the rules, no EFI in Classic unless the car came with it, and you use an OEM system

[TC]

won't be able to run a car that new in the "classic" category, which they compete in.

What's the rpm in low gear at 30 mph? somewhere around 6k or so, right? plenty of boost up there

6000rpm, 30" tire, 7.75 gears and a 2.75 first gear only gets them 25mph........And they got a push start, so they didn't start off in a low gear........ But I do get what your saying...

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......

[Buckeye]

That has to be the most expensive 35mph car EVER! Hell don't vespa's run faster than that?

[Mater]

it was only a qualifing pass who's to say they didn't give it full beans on that run and are saving what is left of the car for the record passes

oh ya the new wonder drug.. hahaha


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

[Stich496]

don't forget to change the oil before the next run, the cyl wash from the raw fuel , must be filling the crank case with good ole gas

[ls7gto]

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)

[Brian Lohnes]

Is that the bike with the weird diesel engine?

I was racing at the velodrome tonight and we were clocked at 41.387 mph... and only one gear

still, I totally get the reason behind what they're doing - and it's really cool

[Scott Liggett]

One of those one cylinder bicycle/motorcycle thingy's might be able to beat that record. Heck, them thar dudes that race their riding mowers move twice that speed.

But, they made a good time from a big let down. Way to go guys.

[KeithTurk]

Guys.... sorry I'm just now getting here and don't have time to read this morning..... BUT DAMN IT MAN... this is easily the most fun I've ever had a Bville..... Freaking absolutely stupidly crazy ass FUN....

We run in about an hour

Life Rocks... Pure and simple...
