Default Re: STREET MACHInES, Engines, gearing and etc

Pete, I'll probably use something like that, but I don't think I;ll be doing aby drag racing with it. Circlr track is where it belongs. i had allot of fun there. I was glad they had all those rules, it kept the cost low enough for us to compete. When the rules changed to late models with OHV engines, the cost went up and the crowd went down and 2 years later they built a Maul over the place. I try to help the guys that want a reliable street vehicle, without spending an arm &leg on the wrong "Stuff"

I quit pro racing many moons ago because it was taking up too much time and the cost was going up too fast. The traveling finally got to me also.
I think I enjoyed vintage racing more. We didn't have to make it pay and there was a LOT more partying involved.

I don't get too many inquiries about street engines other than cams but it takes me awhile to answer the email about circle racing each day. I like helping out.
