Auburn Hill Climb

[Jim Brierley]

Here goes my first try at posting photos. The green speedster is Ron Ludford's Stan Vermeil built Gemsa, his last run got him into the 8.9 second range, it ran 69 mph on Sat. seemed all speeds were lower on Sun. but e.t.'s about the same. Orange car is a T, the '32 is a Model B, barn find.

Well, that didn't work but with all my smarts I don't know why! Too many dpi???

Good luck

Thanks John, but that didn't work either. The same window came up, and allowed me to choose a pic from my computer and it looked like it was working, but didn't.

[juke joint johnny]

Sorry Jim
I am a bit challenged on the computer myself !!! I was a bit surprised when
I got it to work.
My only excuse is I have had a Model A a lot longer than I have had a computer!!!!

There must be some Whizz Kid on here that can sort it out for you.

John , after having the engine in my orig delux 29 delivery rebuilt twice & is still harsh its coming out for ME to check suggestions like bore line has been moved from original position, everything has been replaced except the block, paint , & hi comp head, & i mean everything that moves, Its nice & smooth up to 20 mph then it gets harsh, does not vibrate, drive line & rear were rebuilt & fine with old engine , anyway its getting the ohv , mitchel OD, Might even slip a quickchange into it, ready for the next NZ A Nationals late march next year, We have a speed event as always & some of the" Mainlanders " are making inprovements ?? 3 weeks till Boise meet take off.

An experiment!

Jim, I had the same sort of prob posting pics from my new camera to the barn.
I used to be able to do it easy, turns out the new camera took pics with too many pixels or something and was too big to load on.
I got around it by resizing them to another file then from there to the barn.

Jim:
I noted different wheels on the front and rear of both the orange and green speedster. I am interested in why/what for?
Thanks.

I would imagine to give a lower overall gear ratio for the hill climb.

[Jim Brierley]

Thanks to all of you, especially my friend just plain bill as he was the first to offer to post the pics for me. And yes, the small wheels are for an overall reduction in gear ratio, plus they are lighter so have less of a "flywheel effect". The T was nearly stock but I like the way he molded the body around the gas tank. The B roadster has "porta-walls" on it, I haven't seen any of them in many years.
