I'll put up some more video later -- when I've got 110VAC available to run the 'puter. I don't want to run out of batteries just now. Anyway, the car ran a 121 through the lights yesterday, during testing, but I haven't heard what Andy (or Jim Price, the owner, who was driving the car in the video you saw) was doing. I'd guess 60-80 or so.
Here are a few photos:
Twelve pipes on each side!
Acouple of shots of the cockpit. Note the gearshift, which looks like it came right out of a tractor. Remember - this engine is from an aircraft (it's a Curtis), so a bellhousing and tranny had to be fabbed/fitted. The gearbox is three-speed, non-synchronised, and you can hear in the video when he shifts -- that it's a very deliberate shift.
This shot is just too cool...looks great.
WE got into a photo -- to prove we were here.
Gee, whiz -- I guess not everything is 100% original. Note the K & N filter!
Note the Firestone tire (with the word "radial" emblazoned on it):
And I'll have to ask, but I think this is a portrait of Ab Jenkins, held by Jim Price and the other guy whose name I still need to learn. Nice photo, though - hey?
That's enough for right now. I got some more video of Andy Green making a pass in the car -- lots more "theater" in his run -- I guess we know who's a racer and who's the owner.
