Yeah...that was cool...but do you know what would be REALLY cool?
Buy this car...and with the money left over, buy a 4,000 square foot home and shop...and still build more power.
Oh...and that's only a V6 too.

Scott,
aren't you the one who built the engine in that car? I remember you guys were putting the finishing touches on it when I picked up the engine for my boat.

In that last vid...that is Winchester bay...I have seen the rail down there before...As a matter of fact...he must live close by...because I can't remember a time when I have not seen him out there.

Scott what did you think about the boy launching himself off the top of the dune, little overkill huh?

Actually...I was kind of thinking it was a good example of why not to use a motorcycle engine in a sandrail. That thing went from about 13,000 rpm to about 1,300 rpm in about half a second when he let out the clutch.
It did recover pretty fast though, didn't it...

Yup bogged down then launched itself, crowds reaction was pretty good.

Needs one of those flywheels like on a steam donkey. May take 9 or 10 minutes to get up to RPM...but would be hard to stop once it was.

Sorry I'm still learning my way around here ...
Here's a VID I posted under a topic alreay going ...
---------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you that want to get a taste of what it was like at Ridgecrest, check out this video. Typically there are a few videos that get shot and put on the net. However, most of the camera operators key in on the high dollar classes. This one shows A LOT of little guys (meaning cheaper classes).
The list below is what to watch for if you looking for 5/1600 bugs.
Time - Driver - Car color
2:43 Garavito (blue, silver)/Aspel (white)/Vinaja (yellow)/D.Sancehz (white)
4:47 Garavito
5:14 Pellerin (black)/Tolbert (orange)/Vinaja
7:21 Garavito
8:55 Tolbert
9:39 Garavito
There's also some good action shots of Class 11 bugs (Stock) including a nose to tail with three of them together.
The vid is a whooping 12 mins and a hefty 20mb.
