I've been to some of these races. Definitely a good time.

Their engines are just a little bit bigger...

(thats my D16 piston/rod for a comparison)

Another thing to know is the crew rebuilds the engine almost after each run!!!

I try to go every year. The event is always never a disappointment. Watching the crew tear down the motor and build it back up from stratch in between each runs are awesome. And the turn out to these things are absurd. For those that have never gone, you should go to just check it out 1 time.

Is that a piston/rod combo from a fuel engine or something else?
