John, aren't most engine blocks bullet proof? Seems like half-inch thick steel would pretty much stop most bullets. Course, don't know about them aluminum jobs...

Does anybody know where LT can get 3 - 42 inch pitch Aluminum props for cheap? He was thinking SS, but he's trying to keep the cost of his project down . . .

Re: Awwright, which one of y'all did it?

Somethings fishy.I would bet it was an inside job. For those who dont know the area, It is very close to the largest lake in the state. Many of the NASCAR drivers and crews live on the lake. I bet someone will be having a very fast boat soon. It would be very hard for any team to sneak the engines into a race. Everyone and everything is watched like hawks by the nascar rule makers.

Don't need to advertise, just need to go to tech help ... getting that beast to fit in the Ranger is a real chore!

Re: Awwright, which one of y'all did it?

I am still convinced it was Gary H NC. Read this:

UPDATE: NASCAR team owner Doug Yates said it appears the thieves who broke into the Roush Yates Racing Engines facility in Mooresville, N.C., recently and stole three engines ?knows the facility and knows the engines.? The break-in took place Monday at the shop located on Mazeppa Road. The engines, valued at $50,000 each, were built specifically for use in the NASCAR Nationwide and Craftsman Truck series. ?We have security on the building,? Yates said. ?But the area where they broke in, the motion sensor didn?t pick it up. If they had gone any further in the shop [it would have].? Yates said sheetmetal had been peeled away to allow the thieves to gain access to the shop.(SceneDaily)​

He's the only one I know that might know that info, and has a boat and is missing from here right now. Ya know, kinda laying low . . . Hmmmmmmm.

Could somebody run on over to his place and kinda poke around? There is a reward now . . . Here's a picture of the victims in case you see one of 'em.

 

[oops!]

Re: Awwright, which one of y'all did it?

I can't believe that NASCAR only allows "1960's" technology.

They have "telematics" on these cars running "carburetors".

Come on!!!!!

I guess NASCAR has figured out a way to hide their technoligical ignorance.

Let them go, is my thought. Unlimited track speed and see who wins. Isn't that what NASCAR fans want? DEATH on the track? Another "so callled hero" to immortalize?

NASCAR is now, a "circle drive" of same cars until the last few laps. 'Let's see who crashes who".

Re: Awwright, which one of y'all did it?

Personally I like that NASCAR has kept it relatively low tech. A Formula 1 car is close to $2M per copy while a NASCAR Sprint Cup car is around $200K . . .

The top speed limiting features (restrictor plate) were put in place to keep cars from getting airborne and into the seats . . .
