So, what's the BIG DEAL?

yOU ARE RIGHT, with a stimulus package and the will, one can do ANYTHING!!

That's an impressive achievement for your son! What vehicle will it be powering to achieve such remarkable acceleration? Not that I'm into this kind of thing, but you have to give props to those who can pull it off without imploding their motors or taking off!

Like the salt flats, there are few visual cues that allow us to appreciate the sense of speed. I liked the end run when the quarter signs are blowing by. At that point he's nearly twice the take off speed of a typical jet.

Btw, we can cut out the middle man and you can send the check directly to me!

Eric, please find the link to the youtube where your questions are answered. He is also working on a road racing motor based on the same billet construction. What you see is the FIRST firing of this very new motor. Dino tuning and testing is next, probably next week. If all goes well, it will make its debut after the new year on the TRACK.
