Udo Title: Re: Where is this car now ? sold to sweden Post by: Frallan on January 07, 2012, 18:03:31 pm Well I do know it was a dragster and Sören a sedan and was not having the best of his days. I do not so many wins to brag about so I take the opportunity again.....
On the other hand the dragster was NA and Sörens forced induction. Bug Run 1991 and I ended up in the final against Sören. I am usually pretty quick on the tree but this time it almost kicked me hard, look at the distance Sören has on me. I am just lifting the wheels and he is far ahead. Well, I was first over the line.

Title: Re: Where is this car now ? sold to sweden Post by: Shag55 on January 07, 2012, 21:45:18 pm Wow 24 years later and I'm building the same size motor for my next project though a bit more advanced but 78x92, though if I sell my crank I may have a billet 74 made. I remember watching Dave Perkins and Ron Towndsend run back in high school.

I remember watching Dave Perkins and Ron Towndsend run back in high school. I see a trend. The old dragster engine which will be supercharged in its nostalgia assembly in short, will use the 78 stroke 1977 Gene Berg crank and 90 mm nicasil cylinders. 78X90.....
