We won't see those numbers this year. :oops:  If we do, then that half engine is better than their 8 banger. :-D

----I think the Tony Watters ENGINE just might might have something to do with that 386.

Mike,

After looking at the Ida car, I don't think you or I would fit in it, let alone a big Hemi V8. LOL.  I guess that is why we have Roadsters. LOL.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

  I think the dragster style lakester has limited application but the tried and true belly tanker is going to have a revival when the one Chaz is doing hits the salt!!!!

Your trip to the wind tunnel should be very interesting! Please keep us up to date on that visit.

Not much matters and the rest doesn't matter at all.

  Beautiful car and I see some sort of suspension which will help with traction but it would never hook up with the engine out of the 44 lakester [unless they added a wing] :-P

To Tom G.,
It appears that it is the rear that I sold Bob, a Winters Extremeliner 3:08 R&P that was REM'ed. It has a 35 spline steel spool.
The body sure is lookin' good, you guys should see better speeds out of the car with it.
