I see the knitting club had a meeting tonite while I was away.

Don't worry Mike has it all covered... max of -20cc dish and a piston design that he is confident in will net us around 11:1.

The rate I'm going I may say hell with it and say go dome and hit 2 hp per cube.

Raise your game you poser... get the POS up around 13.5 and run some 110 like da big dogs do.


She takes 5 to 7 gallons per 20 minute session @ $8.29 a gallon....

Always marry a woman with money...

I have plenty of my own, but the way they like to spend it, we need them to be doing well, or they would drain us like a litter of puppies drains their momma...

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Yeah! And my motor lasts longer too!


Trust me -- I pit crewed for McCulloch and Whipple summer of 1971.... I've seen some serious fuel burn rates!


Ever clean the pan after a nitro run? I have.... more than once! Oh -- and after I was done with that I could clean the "wubba" off the body panels... and fetch another case of oil from across the pits (on your shoulder)... and then GTFOOTW.... (get the ---- out of the way).

Might as well start tearing out the carpet and installing the real race seats, hans device and fire system.

It's either PT, Lat G or a Race car better decide now.

I vote for the cereal bowls. Your guy can probably make them work.

Todd got it half right BB
