Tom...I certainly hope so..........I may even come out a watch that, help if you needed it......Wait a minute I'd get my new truch dirty and we can't have that :cheers:....................................JD

JD,

Thanks. That is the plan. Just have to wait until the motors sell.

Since I am into EARLY SBCs how about a class for 265's, No side mounts allowed, ONLY early ones with front mounts :-D :evil: Oh, and they would have to be produced in July of 1954. Simple enough?

Tman,

I have a 265 chevy, but it has two front mounts so do I still qualify for the class?  :lol: :-) :evil: It has front motor mounts along with a front mount 4-71, has a destroked crank though. It was Clyde Sturdy's old motor they used to run in Glenn Deeds Modified Sports Car back in the mid to late 60's.

Disclaimer: I am just having some fun with Tman and his post.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Tman, I would love that class! But would it be blown or fuel or both? That ought to make it really fun!

And since we're on that track, how about a gen III inline class so I can run the 292 I already started to build!! :evil: :-D

Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish. The product of a demented hill billy who has found a way to live out where the winds blow. To sleep late, have fun, drink whiskey, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love or getting arrested.    H.S. Thompson

There're already classes for all of them!  How big are they?

Already been done -- the .049 (or whatever it was).  Rick Yacoucci ran the engine on a mini-crotch rocket a bunch of years ago at Bub's -- going for most MPH/cubic inch, I think it was.  I remember hearing it scream past -- many, many thousand rpm and very few mph.  But remember -- that was Bub's where if you can think it -- it's true.  Ask Rick for details.

I believe that was a regular pitbike Slim. An 049 has a piston the size of a pencil eraser :-o

No, that bike wasn't a pit bike.  It was way too small - Rick could barely hang on.  And the engine did have the sound of an airplane model engine.  Maybe there was a helper engine to get the bike up to speed, but I am pretty sure that it was just the tiny engine moving it.  I guess I could ask Rick for a report.

Yes, you are right, it was smaller, a pocketbike? I forget but the tale is here on the board somewhere.............
