How Fast Will A Quincy 6 Go ?

[Original Looper 1]

Sam,

The records are kept in storage for safe keeping and I don't like handling the cards and records unnecessarily/ too frequently due to the age of them. Obviously I am trying to preserve them as well as I can due to the rich racing history they contain.

As to a specific request, I am sure you are well aware, especially by now, that there are many older famous racing engines (because of famous racers), especially the 6 cylinders (both Deflectors and Loopers) that Quincy Welding manufactured or modified that have not yet been "discovered" or accounted for. Names such as Gerry Waldman, Wayne Walgrave, Mel Kirts, Sheriff Hatton, Marshall Grant, Billy Seebold, Tim Butts, etc.

I made a rule way back that I would not generally give out the specifics of the Quincy racing engines (including dyno cards) or their serial numbers on the Internet because it wouldn't be fair to the growing population of race engine collectors and enthusiasts in their pursuit of these old treasures. That's why I've held back on putting up all the dyno cards and many other engine records even on the Quincy Looper site. To date, there are only 2 dyno cards posted there and no engine record pages.

The rules are still the same as far as Quincy Welding/Precision Machine race engines goes -- you find an engine and I will be glad to verify it's provenance. Fair to everyone!

thanks,

Paul A Christner

So it should be within the "Quincy Rules" to post a scan of a card with the owner info blanked out.


If the cards are so fragile, you and David should find someone you trust to help you copy or scan them so they will still be around to help future generations learn about the motors.

It would be a shame to loose so much valuable information.

I have watched this thread with interest and thought that having been an individual that has run both the 6 deflecter and looper in competion and straight-a-way,

Thanks for posting this video.
Didn't that thing sound sweet going down the back stretch?
I'll have to watch it again later when I can turn up the volume.
Norma is still asleep!

Well now it's 1:00 in the afternoon and I turned up the volume.

As I suspected she would, Norma came into the computer room to see what I was watching/listening to.

She can't understand why I have tears in my eyes, but she will be at DePue.

She says she goes for the tacos, but I'm not sure that's the only reason.

I have a cd of Wayne W. and his looper. I listen to it every now and then not having actually heard a looper in person. Must have been a hell of a motor. Of course i'm partiall to made in the U.S.A. goods. Few and far between these days.)

Just need to hang the ignition and fuel system on it then bolt'r up to Howard's 1976 DeSilva KR. Add fuel,then hook it up to my dyno and pull the string Saturday! (Its real easy to do from behind the computer huh?)
I am NOT gonna have a crappy running engine with Howard Anderson at the test site on Sunday. I will post some videos once we have it running.
