Hot Rods The ALTERED thread

Everyone is entitled to the wrong opinion.

 

Really dig the look of this car but those have to be the smallest hairpins I've ever seen.

 

Yep, you just can't see it. Stand in front of a mirror next time you say it.

Bad News

 

Note the rollbar

 

Square roll bars were popular on the East Coast. Maybe because so much of the aircraft industry was situated on the West coast right after the war it was easier to get round mandrel benders out West.

 

It looks like Sha Na Na took their girlfriends to the drags.

 

Ron Williams was the pilot of this one. He's still in the Akron area and going strong.

 

Nanook Day




Owner said this version had no reverser and it took so long to burnout then push it back the tiny fuel tank was dry



So this new square type larger capacity tank was added



This version was the first with the engine as low as possible because the new dragster type tires made the nose high attitude unnecessary any more. And it WORKED it won a bunch before the other teams caught on and made the switch to low engines.



As it sat in World of Speed Museum which is now closed down

 

Ok...I don't know everything but this looks like an injected car - is B/A for injected or engine size or what ?

 

AA/FA is a blown fuel altered, AA/A is a blown altered on alcohol, BB/A is injected on fuel, B/A is injected on alcohol.

If I remember correctly, at my age, I don't remember breakfast.

 

I think AA/FA is indeed blown fuel.
AA/A is blown but on gas .
A/A is unblown on Gas
BB/A is blown on gas but with a higher weight break ( more pounds per cubic inch than AA/A).
B/A is unblown on gas but with a higher weight break ( more pounds per cubic inch than A/A).

Many modern nostalgia events allow the substitution of alky instead of gas. Indeed many AA/Gassers use alky.

 

Thanks.......

 

Not the taillights and rear setup

 

Just out of hibernation since the late ‘60’s.

 

Awesome!

 

Belongs in here for sure. I was hoping you would post it.
