It is being torn down to send the crankshaft out for balancing.

Well, it's hard to say. Somewhere in the 60-90 minute range I hear. That's a lot of 500-1000 foot passes down the drag strip though. We have a guy that ran 4.69 seconds in the 1/8 this past summer.

Mike - that forged crank and steel rods are works of art! How much power is expected at 50 PSI?.

Somewhere north of 500? I'm really not sure though.

Boy you miss a few days it takes a bit to get caught up.

First...Tom I hope Hannah is feeling better. We will keep her in our prayers.

Second...Randy, nice pictures. Sure looks as if you are have a rough go of this whole retirement thing....just kidding!

Lastly. No we do not need any snow right now. I sure was glad it was rain today instead of that white stuff. Now if we could just get snow from December 18th to January 2nd, that would be great.

Hope you guys have a great evening!

Good evening Pete and Jay!

Was just out in the shop getting the 6.0 cleaned out ready to go. There is a guy driving out from over by Turtle Lake, WI to look at it tomorrow.
