I didn't put words in your mouth. I simply assumed it was meant for the Mod category as that seems to be the place where all of it ends up. Regardless, it will soon be there, the rocky road it is...

Sam,

I disagree. There is a place for that, Pro. No need to revamp a category. But that's just my opinion. Why should all the folks running what they have now need to invest more and change the...

You are right, that is darn right handy ! I found a page worth of airports that sell it right down the road a couple miles, and some only 20 minutes away.

Ralph better look out, I am gonna have...

That is what I was told........... I wasn't there. A few experienced racers of the IOA described it as a perfect circle and thus the records were falling. Were you...

Go get two identical GPS units, such as the E-Trek that is very popular in kneelers. Always use both in the boat when testing. Then report back the results after a couple years. I always felt...

A lot larger, by feel and looks. I think someone said it was a mile and 2/3, i dunno the actual measurment. It was long enough to make me burp the throttle in the 750CCMR to ensure it did not burn...

I typically use two when testing, so i know if one is off the mark. What is real funny, is I do see different readings of speed on the same run with the 2 GPS units. Not a big difference but large...

I agree, not possible on todays course layouts and rules. And I don't feel changing rules to set records is a very ethical way of setting records.

I can't imagine running a 100 MPH on the...

Good luck with the 108 mark. Hopefully you can make it to 110 MPH. I guess if you go that fast in Luces old laydown hydro you deserve the Kilo... Just use your head and be safe. That fast in that...

And there were some that doubted me if what you did would work.... I guess if I am gonna run APBA this year, I better get on the ball and build some really cool project motors.

I have not...

I couldn't recall if it was a short megaphone or just the elbow. By looks it is pretty much identical to the Hustler. So I think the system works. And yes, Ralph can drive now and again......

The three into one is a good exhaust. I am not sure what is done internally to Ralph Cooks engine, but he claims it is pretty much stock (don't we all), and he ran one with a short megaphone. At...

Well Tim, I was there, where were you ? Dennis (RIP My Friend) is the only APBA driver killed in FEH. Dennis ran both APBA and AOF. Remember, you run wildcat as much as anyone if not more. Not...

Thanks Chenny, now I know why the short course stuff is hard to beat, and why I nearly beat the longer one.

Tim, yes the records will stand as they passed inspection at the race site. it was...

I also think there are a lot of cross over folks running a 750CCM in the class, and I know of some running a DSH, and in the west coast I thought I read they run the Tahotsu in the class.

True...

It works real well. A OMC Tech was flown to the Mod Nationals in Hinton WV one year to prove that the engine was indeed a 56 CI block. It was verified there. He also admitted to sleeving it down...

And from what I gather, legal in APBA Modified Outboard 850CCMH and 850CCMR classes only. Looks like the rule book has been beat for some time now. I just hope someone can beat Lopez's 56CI records...

Sorry guys. It is a discussion about 3 Cys OMC's and those twin Anthony builds. It discusses potential modifications, within the rules of certain racing organizations, that will work. it did get a...

John,

I don't think I said you wanted capsule boats, if i did sorry. I am not good with typing and keeping up with my mind. I am pretty sure none of the current 850CC drivers want capsules. I do...

Anthony is right, most likley. He seems to be right, and makes good arguments. For sake of arguments I will digress and bow to his memory.

I have been beat by the slowest and fastest rigs out...

It is a big gray area. Not a typo. In NBRA it is not a gray area, it is not legal.

I will tell the story, and then we should shut up, because you know I know the whole truth. You never did answer the pricing and availablity of your product in question... payment verses delivery of...

It makes a difference on what engine and prop and set up. I never ever run the good stuff at a local race, it only comes out at Nationals. Local races are jsut that, fun races. And I have no doubt...

Sam,

I would not call the 3 or 4 people on this site a consensus. The class is much larger than that.

While I agree with Tim's core philosophy, and think he makes some very cool project...

Is this legal in APBA 850CCMH ? If it is, it shouldn't be. We already are going fast enough for John Palmquist to want us in capsule boats. We bump it up a few more MPH and we will be mandated by...

Maybe if I try two pumps I can pick up some more speed. Worth a shot anyways.

Given there are a gazillion blocks out there to mess around with, I have tried a lot of different porting...

I run one pump. I don't think mine is all that poochy.

I believe you are close to the estimate Sam.

If you are going to run a batch of Weisco pistons in Mod 50 version, and don't want to oder such a large quantity, why not simply turn them ? ...

Weisco will make a run of them if you buy a certain quatity. Maybe you can rally your troops to order a batch ?
