I saw this as an engine class only available in the Special Construction Category. Can someone tell me what engines qualify for this class. Glad to be the newest dummy on this site...trader...

I always thought that was for turbine engines. Maybe steam? Maybe something else? Steriling? What do you have?

Yes a Miller cycle came to mind as well as a sleeve valve or 2 stroke. I know that there are separate classes for steam, turbine, and electric. I am curious if it relates to a production engine, or if ingenuity is an option. The secondary criteria is if it will be a suffix to an cu. in. class or would be weight. It is obvious I do not have a rule book to reference and I do not see any records for this particular class. It is a curiosity to me as to the guidelines for this special class. Someone has some insight?  |

As soon as they figure out how big a Roadster should be or even looks like, I am sure they will get right on it.
Fraction Control won't be far behind.

I think the rubber band wins, at least Kent thinking out of the sack or is that box.

Well actually the steam record car was a turbine. Should it run in the turbine class? In the older days the Thunderbird Turbine held the "Omega" class record. Later the "Turbine" and other classes were added. Now I think it stands for something no ones thought of yet. Except maybe FR.

RF and FR could be taken for the same person if one doesn't know. Isn't that 2500 cu/in tank engine or the Packard a little out of the ordnary. Ah what the heck at least you will run yours.LOL

I am NOT FR! Isn't a '32 Plymouth far enough out of the ordinary? The Packard is getting pretty close to actually doing something. Not sure what. Hey, post #104. How cool.
