LOL - No indoor kart racing in my frozen tundra - but I like the Hockey and Humping idea, especially since I don't play hockey either - Ice racing wise, I did have my Thunderkitty (snowmobile for all the southerners) out last week and made quite a few passes at 100+ MPH - my Thundercat is the one thing that has better acceleration than mine and most other Vettes - but it's even TOO COLD to ride that right now -
As I recall, the ice racing you are referring to is ice racing w/ a car, correct?

My buddy called the other day to tell me the electric launch control is getting close to done for our show. Here is the iceracer, two years ago. The pipe above the hood is a turbo inlet

You should be working on the July 4th show My buddy called the other day to tell me the electric launch control is getting close to done for our show. QUOTE]
LOL, thanks for the chuckle, and I must say, you have a dang GOOD memory! Just goes to show that you (and the rest of the DRM crew) DO care about their customers!
4th show wise, Mike from Melrose usually calls sometime in March to remind me that the 4th of July will again occur in the summer

Here is the Harrop on the stand ready for the engine dyno.
The other engine got held up for some more head flow work. This is the head on our flow bench with the intake and t-body for a better test then just the head itself.

Soooooo, since I turn 28 in March you're saying that at the moment I turn 28 I'll know everything I need to know when it comes to shiny metal and lots of horsepower? Awesome!
Seriously, your latest pictures on page 2 make almost made my laptop slide off my lap.

This is my personal head so i just use clay on the intake and nothing on the exhaust. I just wanted an AB comparison to the before and after. So I know if I am messing the part up or not. That picture is a stock flow right when i was getting the setup ready, so a LOT of work happend after this picture.
That flowcom controller on the bench is nice. It takes a lot of the hasses out of useing the flow bench
