I heard Darrell has been at the salt with Russell's Inch Pincher.

I wonder what happened last weekend. Any results? Pictures? I'm not on F-book...

There are many different classes, stock, blown, unlimited, type 2, etc. I'm not sure which class he was in.

I kind of want to build one of these motors.  What's the spacing of the bore on a 36hp motor? Compared to a 1600.
