That pic is priceless! Wish that I would have had it for the book Dyno Testing and Tuning! :-D Instead I used a pic of a real live prop dyno system when mentioning "prop dynos".

Note how the rear wheels are clamped? Guess all was well until it slips the contact patch? :-o

However, it does reek somewhat of a certain proponent of propeller powered vehicles doesn't it? Perhaps from the same gene pool. :roll:

Ok I'm a nerd but it's an Hispano-Suiza V8 as used in some WW1 fighters. 18,480cc 330bhp. A couple of guys over here in the UK have them in Edwardian roadsters for vintage racing.

Absolute Land Speed record?. Isn't that Andy Green-Richard Noble stuff? At first I thought we were talking about a Blown Fuel Thunder Bolt Gas Coup Nash Car entry. Then I thought in was some other kind of Nash Car entry. Then It was a Streamliner and now it's a Jet? How in the Henry J am I supposed to follow this?

Combination fuel tank/headrest, 6x6 railroad ties for brakes, exhaust bolted firmly to a wooden floorboard - and he's wearing his safety cap.

Do you think he can? The Winter Nationals have started and he is still at home.

Here's one with street legal headers - no, really. At least this one didn't set fire to my trousers (sorry, pants)
