200 MPH I thought I would have more time !!

I'd love to come pit crew for you in Loring, but - I'll be at Bonneville this year, and there's still taking care of my Mom, AND - And - and...........

Maybe next year

Hey, is there actually a functional airport at Loring?

Charles-- if ECTA doesn't find a new home near NC and you still need crew, I've got a sleeping bag, will ride in the hauler, provide 24hr security and given my mechanical abilities, you could use my head for a wheel chock. -Ken

[Cajun Kid]

Ken,  I have room in the truck,,, no need to ride in the hauler....

hmm 24 hour trackside security  sounds good..... that way would not have to put in and out of the hauler every night.

Let's talk at Maxton,,,

You might think nitrous or forced induction is not real.  But I have a real green hat, to prove it, and a real 212 record that may never be broken at Maxton.  It would be nothing to drop the compression on your motor and put two turbo's on.  I've done it, and it works...  Be an old dog, but learn new tricks...

[dickj]

I do have a 370 cu in SBC... that I could pull out of the Vicky and put "the good heads" on it.. that would surely get me 200 at Maxton.... It is just a lot of work, to tear down 2 cars twice to do it.....

Charles, how much HP will that 370 make with the good heads?  Even in a slick car like the stude, I think you're gong to need something in the area of 775hp to make the 200mph mark.  That HP curve gets really, really steep above 185mph.

Oh. I was kind of hoping there was a way to land on the same facility the track is at. It's hard for me to taxi the plane on streets. End hijack

Charles if you have the time and the money, there is no better time then now!!!!!!

[Cajun Kid]

Charles if you have the time and the money, there is no better time then now!!!!!!

Mike,,, I am not sure I have the time (if I sell my 36 Ford Roadster, I will have the money)
Plan now for the Stude

April -  Maxton with E motor
May -  Maxton with E motor
June - Maxton with E motor
July -  Maine with E motor
Aug or Sep - Bonneville  SW or USFRA with E motor
Sep - Maxton  E with  power adder or C motor on gas
Oct - Maxton  "                                                "


But ya never know

POWER ADDER???.  Thats the spirit.

[Cajun Kid]

POWER ADDER???.  Thats the spirit.

Eric, now don't jump to conclusions,,, I know you are thinking N2O (the Juice),, but hmm power adder could also be Turbo, Super Charger, or Fuel or a combo !!!

Fuel or a Blower may be easier.... Turbo's are much more plumbing and exhaust work...and on a quick swap may be more problematic...

[Bootleggerjim]

I'm thinking 30 or 40% NITRO by Oct. if all go's as planned..How long it gotta run Charles?? I think it will live 45 or 50 seconds......

[racer x]

There is plenty of room under the hood. A big block and a 6-71 might push you along .

[55chevr]

bring a large bag for the parts that get shed on the track ... watch that nitro stuff
