Yes, I am alive.
Yes, I have returned to a good state of health.
No, Kate has not left me.
Yes, I am preparing the Midget for an attempt on the I-MGT class record.
No, I won't be driving it - it's Nick's turn to grab a record.
Yes, we will be at World of Speed in September.
And YES - Once again, (with Slim's permission) I'm putting together a "DYNOTHON" to help the head handlebar honcho and his beautiful consort sustain this site.
Here's how it's worked in the past - we won't be changing up a working formula.
Mark and I will document our foray into the dyno bay of T&T Racing Engines.
We'll be looking for a best horsepower number from the session - Hopefully we'll be doing pulls on Monday and Tuesday, June 7th and 8th - and if we think we can break through, we may go again on Wednesday the 9th.
I'll be making a $2.00 per horsepower contribution to Landracing.com.
I think you should pick a dollar amount and join in.
Last time, in 2014, we dialed up just shy of 100 horsepower out of a 1972 1 liter pushrod, 5-port MG tractor motor.
This time, with Fordboy's engineering wizardry and my credit card, we've screwed together a 1 liter MG/Rover DOHC K series engine out of a 2004 MG ZR.
Twice as many valves, twice as many cams, all with an engine capacity of about half a pitcher.
We'll post photographic evidence of our runs - video, maybe? - and at the end of the event, ya'll cough it up!
When Slim gives the okay, I'll set up the thread, pin it and link it.
Slim - permission to move ahead?
