it looks  like if you are building a motorcycle streamliner you should cut it up and throw it away
the rules have changed

Not only if your building, even if you own one now.
There is no Grandfather clause, so there is no streamliner bikes currently legal.

Yes; I am going to finish my bike.
No; this is not 100% why I've not been doing much.
I will run somewhere.

Wonder how the tide is Ross?

Hi Slim

Can you delete my post 2999 in Goggles's build diary please.

I wasn't thinking and just posted a reply to Grumm's post.
If I want to whine about the SCTA rules committee I should have done it in my thread.

Sorry
Jon

I think it should stay there. I don't, as I said, agree with this rule change specifically and I certainly don't agree with the absolute nature of it's enactment.

Link !
I can't find the rule change mentioned anywhere other than here ?
I can't find my glasses either

What's the rule change that's causing all the consternation?

I didn't send you an email, or mention it on your thread for reasons of diplomacy. You and Ross, and every other owner have every reason to be very annoyed. Has anyone been seriously injured by a structural failure in a liner due to the tubing in a roll cage yielding?

  They allow non-streamlined bikes with no rollbars and want to go to 15/8'' for streamliners

  Write to the SCTA clubs presidents and have them read or foward the protest to their reps and members.
  Also write to the SCTA where they are supposed to read communications they recieve at the meetings.

I could try to hunt down a Menard Indy engine for you - probably bolt right up.

errr... really? I just looked it up and as a rev limited 10 000rpm  buick 6 it could indeed just bolt up and blast us into history.
I can't imagine there is much use for them these days... how much do you reckon?

I think that price is quite high given the limited possibilities for it.  I'd offer them 6.  Probably be the only bona fide offer they would have received for it.

Ship the car over with the old donk, swap it out in the parking lot of the Nugget, and away you go.

That would do it
Now I just need to find some spare cash
I'm currently getting quotes to have my asbestos sheds removed
What some of these guys want to remove this stuff would be a significant down payment on that engine

It's only a 5 hour drive. 

Want me to grab a camera and tape measure?

I'd be willing to clean out a corner of the garage until you picked it up/made arrangements.

[grumm441]

No. Until I get a chance to see if I won $28 million
On Tuesday I might give it a miss.

950hp@10,000........that'd break EVERYTHING from our clutch all the way to our bank....I like it very much, I can't imagine what driving our car would be like with that in it..........

Now, finally........Messers Walker and Welker the mag is in, the stories are in it.....

Skip the red hat - go for blue.

  Has anyone actually ever done that?

I want to say they were running 50 + inches of boost in that thing.  Just dial it back until it doesn't scare you. 

As far as the price - LOW BALL 'EM - the worst they could say is "No".

I can't think of another application where a 15 year old Indy engine would make any sense at all other than LSR.  And screwing it into you're car would be a no-brainer.

Sort of already does with 321,146 views!  If we are talking mph 321.146 kph = 199.551mph.... We need to keep talking folks!

Les Davenport driving the Treit and Davenport blown lakester walked away from 2 records above 290 MPH so he would enter

the record books with a record above 300 MPH and an automatic Blue hat.

Eric Ritter just ran 339 mph and got both hats in the Vesco 444 liner.
