Maybe these just prior discussions were prompted by the
sound of Treit and Davenport's 'liner as it passed.
Even George Poteet likes the sound of our car. There
have been statements regarding the syncing of the engines.
It is impossible. These engines are not solidly connected in
any manner. It would be possible if the engines were tied
together with a chain or a solid shaft. How can a synchronization
occur when they are started separately? The rear engine is
running when the front engine is dead still. With clutches between
the engines it is impossible to sync them.
The unique sound just happens when 16 cylinders are working
together.
Yep, the sound as the car passes can be recorded and manipulated
but there is no mechanical way we can change the sound
except dump nitro to them and that is not in the plans. Brief bursts
of 61% throttle occurred during the last run. There was more 40% -50%
than any other setting. Traction was the problem. 100% throttle
may change the volume. If You want the full benefit just stand on
the down wind side as it passes. This car was not designed for nitro.
First thing is it doesn't carry enough fuel.
A cockpit AC unit comes before bigger fuel tanks.
Now that it has been mentioned, Les Davenport may do it.
