Now Ive heard some FUNNY things today Bob, and maybe Im just punchy....Parts breaker.....I almost swallowed my teeth.

What does it matter what it gets out of the gate at ? 1 sec under is 1 sec under , right ? If I can run em down long track, wouldnt, or couldnt that possibly be an advatage in its own way ?

Parts breakage....heheheh.......

I had a Nitro Motorcycle engine on a what basically could be called sandrail, every 2 runs it needed a new head, I changed probably 25 heads a year, had them off and inspected them etc. I ran that contraption for some 10 years betwen myself and brother in law. The Motorcycle yard would call me up when they had a truckload of that particular head. Breaking things has never been a personal issue for me....But you outta hear a Honda CB175 Engine on Nitro , That was cool and fun, and Nitro was cheap then, unlike some of the horror stories I hear now.
