Pretty cool show. Makes me want to build a bug although I have no clue on how a carb even works . Maybe I can build an injected one. I'd be embarassed if I were the guy who "built" that engine the first time (seized in first 5 min. of running cause of oil starvation to a main bearing).

Not bad at all for the first couples passes in the car though. 10.70's @ 130+. He needs to learn how to keep it in the groove though.

That show was great. Engine problems, and still willing to produce 10.50's. Nice to be able to drive it on the street, even though he still had no registration.

Now watching the American Chopper - NASA bike.
