Intro - ref fastest flathead.

Hi everyone. Just a quick note on who i am and what i do. My name is Jim turnbull living in sunny England. I own 2 32b roadsters one which is finished and one which is half done. My current ride has a blown flathead motor, 296ci which is currently the quickest in england for a street driven car.I am a member of the deuces hot rod club and founder which has been running for the past 8yrs.This weekend i am racing at the nostalgia nationals in england and might try slicks for the first time to see if i can get into the 12s. The car currently weighs in at 2600lbs.I live and breath hot rods and flatheads. The new car should be out next year and should be a high ten's street car running a flatty of course. I am hopefully moving over the pond next year bringing the cars with me to have some fun. Here's a few photos.

 

I might take you up on that flatdog it sounds like it would be a close one.....

 

Welcome

Love your car - Am I correct that your car runs a magneto? Think I saw something on your car saying you were running a mag on it...

BJJ, where are you planning on moving to in the States? I would love to mix it up with ya. Keep us posted on how you run at the nostalgia drags.

I've only run a couple times with the blower on my car so I don't really know how it'll run yet, I've still got a lot of tuning to do.

If you'd like, PM with your phone number, I love to talk to you for a while. There's a cult of us Flathead nuts in the US, you'll probably like it.

 

Here's a pic of my car and slip from Sunday. I ran with the North East Timing Organization. Any NETO guys around here?
