Tman,

That storm was so bad it blew all 4 Monster girls into our trailer.

Glad to hear that Nancy is much better.

I knew I should have gone that direction!

Found this on Jalopy Journal this morning.

A flock of geese in impound. Two records and two hats for the roadster, a record for the truck. Both in impound on the same day. All in all, a successful week the the White Goose Bar team.

Congrats to the WGB!

A very imaginative foto.

Congratulations on the records.

Good Job on both instances.

i see in the pre entries that the Vincent motorcycle of Dave Matsons was entered,, cant seem to find any results on this bike, did it run or am i missing something,

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Dave and his wife stopped by for a quick "howdy", so I know they were there.  I didn't hear of them running -- but then, I was preoccupied.

A just released video of one of John Romero's runs in the White Goose Bar roadster. Note the AEM drive shaft dyno overlay. This great piece of gear allows you to determine the amount of horsepower the track will hold in each gear.

IMO this is an infomercial. Send some bucks to Landracing for the commercial you just released on AEM products, they are one of your sponsors.  "224 MPH Roadster with AEM Dynoshaft"

I would call it a post from a proud team member who still runs race cars.

x100, John is a great tuner and that car runs smooth and strong.   I'd still prefer an infomercial over ego stroking a project that hasn't even moved under its own power...


I'm working on a better video but here's our first full pass in the #97 (Lee Sicilio's new Charger), hit the rev limiter at the 3/4 mark in the 5th mile, but this still qualified us for the record in A/BGALT.  Next pass we shifted to 5th and bumped it up a bit more.  Still learning on this car but I'm pretty happy with the first outing:

  Diesel, Not being familliar with turbo motors, I was wondering where the EGT reading was taken?
  Is it after the turbo cause I can't believe it would have and pistons left if it was close to the exhaust ports.
  Anyway that is one impressive car.  Congrat's, Bob
