I,m too slow ,going to build a snowmobile to drag race , no one picks on them.

Who, me? Nah, I'd rather be drinking beer by 2nd round.

Actually I'm going to build a diesel engine for my car, so I can also race it in the diesel series.

You don't sound like much of a racer to me,2nd round is where you gear up to win................

Well, no sooner did you earn some credibility on the board with the beer drinking comment then did you lose all credibility with the diesel engine comment!

I'll vouch for you though...Give him a break guys as Micheal is a good guy just trying to get back up to speed after a long layoff. Don't crucify him just because he questioned the norm. That's what us engineers are supposed to do.

Regarding competitive 170+ mph cars, I would agree that for the most part the competitive fast S/G cars are in the 165 mph range. But, now we're talking semantics. 165 mph / 170 mph - its basically the same thing, and there's a whole boat load of cars that run within +/- 5 mph of 165 mph.

But, who cares. I'm going to drink beer.

Jason ,,,,, I still enjoy your Posts !!!

Don't count out CBS ,, he is also a sick "Engineer" he just hides behind that Div. Rep tittle and commentator duty :)

So that's the problem, too many engineers on this board!

I really am going to build a diesel for my car eventually. Really, quit laughing!
http://www.nhrda.com/Vdz/20080816/PS.htm (the announcer was reading the "car owner" instead of the driver). We had it running pretty soft to keep from breaking parts, but it has gone 149 mph. I figure an identical motor in my car (1100 lbs lighter) could be a decent S/G motor.

Yup, he did, but I didn't rub it in. He's a good friend who stays at my house for local races.

Mike, if you build a diesel super gas car, I will drive it for you. I like slow cars anyway. Just as long as the exhaust is pointed towards the competitor & we'll put a smoke screen on those fast cars so they can't top end drive.
