    okay, someone translate the record they own (albeit potentially temporarily).... I get the "blown" and "coupe" but what is the rest?

    Done! We backed up our 32 mph Bonneville record in the two-banger Camaro. It is about to get wrecked by a Studebaker, but we pushed on. Never give up!

    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.

    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

    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)

    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

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

    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......
    the car was also not even running untill after it was being pushed. you can hear it start up wile being pushed
