Mike, Tom and Tad in studio.
I am not sure what goes on at the Power and Speed compound over the week, but some strange stuff goes on with the wildlife.....
Tom tries to drag Mike into a camshaft discussion and I think what we learned is the guys would really like a good camshaft guest to come on. It's tough to ask an engine builder about cams because they can be like Mike, very focused on a particular "type" of motor. The guys floated a few names, and I am sure they will get someone.
Anthony Disomma of Disomma Racing Engines called in tonight with a surprise 2nd person on the phone, Nick Bruder from Bruder Brothers Racing. Recently there was a rule change that was relatively focused on the Bruder's car. There is obviously lots to this story, some we heard... some we did not. The people involved in these classes know exactly what goes on. Mike told Anthony many shows back to he would run everything as fast as it could go at all times. Sounds like there might be some killer passes out of this camp in the near future. Anthony and Nick said it best, the race is won or lost during the week.
Did you ever hear of a JR Dragster with a 4 speed gearbox? Of course not. You know why? This guy will tell you. Steve McAllister of Innovation Engineering built one! If you don't know who Steve is, then you never owned a dyno. Steve manufactures a host of dyno starter and drive dampening systems for most dyno systems.... as well as JR Dragster transmissions. Check him out.
Fireman Jeff called in in the quest for the, dare I say, 10 second range from his street driven LSA conversion. Over 4000 lbs and this thing is getting faster every week.
