Milwaukee Midget

[38flattie]

put me down for $ 10.00 per Hp over 93 hp

Put me down the same as Sparky!

I'm still betting on the 'way over'!

Is  Pewaukee, WI near you? I'm going to be there for training the 13-15th......

[Milwaukee Midget]

I'm pleased with everyone's confidence in my ability to build horsepower - it's certainly an unproven commodity at this point.

Or is it that you're all a little tight fisted and don't think it's going to happen?    

Buddy - PM sent.

Pewaukee to MM is about 18 miles at the closest point, but Pewaukee covers a lot of area. I'm about 6 miles away.

That explains everything.

Ah, yes.  Pewaukee, WI. . . . . . .

Almost moved there when Mrs. Fordboy was working for Johnson Controls back in 2007.     The moving expenses were quashed by a tight fisted (and tight-walleted) Vice President.

Oh, then there was the fear of continued existance in the southern nexus of Packerland.   (Sorry Don.   Probably not going to go over to the green team. . . . .    Chalk it up to a family history of insanity. . . . . . .)   Wasn't offset by the great fishing in Pewaukee Lake and other piscatorial resources.

Might have worked out though, I was up for a gig at Harley-Davidson R&D.   Too bad I had more racing engine experience than the Director. . . . . .Caveat Illini. . . . . . . . .

Lack of Midget knowledge/Beerhaven existance was certainly a factor.    Hindsight, etc, etc,

I'll pitch a buck a pony! Can't wait to see what this little "Grenade" has got!

[SPARKY]

We now have to get a pool together on the hp figure and SSSlim needs to have  trophy or put the winners name on the Salt talks T with the HP and the amt raised or something like that  I am betting on ( 106.78)

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Yeah, good idea, Sparky.  But where could we get a trophy made?

I like the idea.  Might do both the trophy and the winning hp amount.  I dunno about the $$, though. . .

[Milwaukee Midget]

It's looking promising, guys!  So far, we're up to 16 pledges to the site, and I'd like to acknowledge -   
Sparky – (US) (I think he's got a pool going)
Lsrjunkie – (US)
Dr. Goggles – (AUS)
38 Flattie –(US)
Dean Los Angeles – (hmmm . . . I suppose that's about as US as Milwaukee, so we'll put you down on the US team)

So we're at 16 as of this morning – dyno day is tomorrow.  If everything goes perfect, four more might get us to the $2,000.00 goal I've set for this, but I want to pad it a bit.

And you don't have to match the high rollers – consider 4 bits a pony – Jon will certainly be pleased with any and all contributions to the site.

So we have no Canadian contributors, or Kiwis?  No French contributors?  NO BRIT CONTRIBUTORS?!?!?! 

Let's see if we can get 6 or 7 more pledges to Landracing.com by 8:00 AM Central Daylight Time on May  9, 2013.

Thanks to ALL!

Good luck today guys!

101 @ 7800 !  :-P

I think I missed the 8.0 am curfew, but I'll rehash my prediction..........

Go Midget!!    


EDIT! I might be day early! Ooops! Anyway my prediction stands.......  8-)

[Ron Gibson]

I'll go for a buck a hp.  In some other post they were talking about binary.   My guess 101.01

[Grandpa Jones]

I can't hang with you high rollers, I'll take the 4-bits-per-horsepower action. 

Thanks for the entertaining and informative build diary! 

Best of luck,

IT'S ALIVE!!!!

IT has survived the cam run-in, and is apparently hungry. . . . . .

IT tried to eat a valve keeper during the valve spring change over. . . . but we wrested the keeper from ITS' maw. . . . .

Still have all the smoke in the electrics. . . . . .
