Get off the stove Grandad.  You're too old to be riding the range.

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.

OK -- I were rong.

The coupe was pre-entered at SW -- see program.  In the program picture it was a 5-window.  the one at El Mirage is a sedan delivery(?) -- or modified top.

I didn't know that streamlining was allowed on the hood sides in Gas Coupe(?).

Gotta give it up to John Noonan, that man can ride a motorcycle. I ain't never seen anybody that can ride a bike like this guy. Valentino Rossi could learn a few things from John. I don't know how he does it. Just an amazing pass. Talked to him a few moments before he was ready to go, into a pure dust cloud that was sitting on the top end and going nowhere. He was a vision of confidence when he told the starter " yea , I'll go , and be safe, no problem". And let me tell you, if you wern't there, he found pretty much no traction that I could tell. It was all throttle control and probley a little weight shifting around on the bike all the way down. I am so amazed at his skill.

You also gotta love the Lefevers family, those boys , guided by there dad , are doing really well , and getting that hot rod down the coarse. Mike knows how to build some big H.P. and when he thinks the boys are ready , just my guess , we will see some big numbers from those boys. Great car , great people.

John, Gas Coupes are like Street Roadsters with similar rules. How many Street Roadsters have stock louvers side panels on their hoods.  One difference is a Gas Coupe must have a stock hood length where a Street Roadster can have a specified inch extention. Amereican Austins are very hard to work with.........JD

Thank you for the info, do you think that the course conditions kept you guys from getting the record?

John

John, I want to think that BUT......
after you go out and spin the tires in every gear...... run on the limiter...... and go 248...... WTF do I know.....  8-)

Good job man!

Thank you..we tried a few different things hoping to keep a decent starting position and never thought we could run that number on Gas on that course..special thanks to Subaki for making a great chain to drive the front wheel as well since that is legal at this time.


John

   2 WHEEL drive? is it similar to dirt bike 2 wheel drive systems? How about some pics
   Your not yanking our chain are you :wink:
