I’m not even going to scroll any lower.

A German buddy told the story of Arnold being Austrian-but never speaks it. “ He speaks very sloppy German.” I guess he was from the Alabama of Austria -and sounds like a hillbilly.

You obviously don’t work in a garage-or put many cars up on lifts. I did brake lines on 3 cars in the last two weeks.

Yea-you’d be better off bringing a Midget. See: Roger Ward 1959 Formula Libre at Lime Rock.

“blue bushes”-hehe.

Oh yea? Does it have a King Ranch edition? Huh? Didn’t think so.

Tell me this is ain’t beautiful.

Actually, they went from big tires-to the little ones-and then back. Part fashion of the time-part function. Like any other motorsport, if someone does something and WINS, other will copy. I seem to remember drivers going back to the tall tires was due to less control and difficulty staging.

No NHRA drag racing?

I had the pleasure of meeting the Clarks. They came to one of the New England hillclimbs I run. He was driving a Lotus Elise-she was in a Fiero with only 8k miles on it. They were in their 70's-two of the nicest peoples you could meet!

And where did they get the name for the truck? From this.

Pretty used formula. Look up Dwarf cars—Legends—Modlites.

Bike motor/clutch /transmission. The motor is turned 90 degrees—and where the sprocket was , is now a drive flange turning a driveshaft-running to a narrowed Toyota rear end. I only use the clutch to launch. I have a shift kill (clutchless foot to the floor) upshift. Blip to downshift. I run a heavy duty clutch and

Weatherly, Pa.

I totally understand that. The point was Sunoco 93 is more likely to be consistant( and run in the parameters of the factory tune) than no-name 87 octane from 7-11.

Probably not. If you have an efficient combustion chamber and cam timing, not at all. Most bike engines are up to 13.1- and can run on 87 all day. ( They may make you use “good” gas just because it usually more consistant.)

They are just building things now that racers figured out years ago. Efficiency means the most power-and the best use of fuel. Cutting down on the parasitic losses is a good direction to go in.
