Roadkill Blown Monza
« on: June 03, 2013, 12:27:45 PM »
The Roadkill guys over at Hot Rod Magazine built a blown Monza and ran it at Wilmington.

Blown: Turbo? Nope. Roots? Nope. Vortech? Nope.

5 gas powered leaf blowers.

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.

Thanks for the laugh Dean. Banjo music kept playing in my head while watching the video. It was cool to see an Arizona flag flying in the pits though. Long way to go from here in AZ to Ohio

I enjoyed the video - partly because I got to see Freiburger, for the first time, wearing long pants and being kinda shaven.  I didn't bother looking at shoes -- was enjoying the car stuff.

What a great way to have fun with cars I couldn't stop laughing you guys rule. As Keith would say its all good. Besides getting the license did they set a record?

I didn't realize that multiple engines were allowed in the Classic Altered class.  I guess if you have the extras in the trunk, no one will see them during certification.

So I guess it would be legal to put a 100 H.P. motor in the back just to turn a supercharger and pipe it to the front?  The added ballast might not hurt.

This would be legal?  Or does legal not count?

Sure it's legal -- just not in Classic anything (Altered, Gas or Production).

I think it's great what the car did -- but give it a record?

For another $25 it could have run up to AA apparently.

Thanx, Glenn.  I just did consult the Rule Book.

Page 50, 4.FF Supercharged

. . . Blown shall be an . . . engine . . . with a supercharger . . . or turbocharger powered by the primary engine.
