Again probably some confusion about "clubs". One of our USFRA members could explain the 130 and 150 clubs better than I. However the 200 MPH club is something very different. To get in you must set

Number one, was it a four seater? If so, my read on a Comp Coupe is that an engine swap of any kind is legal, and no mention of front to rear or rear to front. In the final configuration you do have

Good point. Checked the book and it says pre-49 bodies need not comply.

Didn't get a picture, but I have seen the car on the Salt. This is a perfect example of what we were discussing last week. If it won't handle you just can't drive it fast no mater what engine is in

Your front air dam may need some work at some time, but right now you need to concentrate on the handling. Sort out the air dam after you've driven the car some. I guess I'd be more concerned with g

So back to the original question. Mr Anderson would need to run a minimum of 220.001 MPH to qualify for the 200 MPH club in C/BGT. A worthy goal that may take some time to achieve. Tom, it'll be good

Ya know, on second thought maybe C/BGT isn't such a bad class to run in. Old Keith has to run over 219 MPH in D/GALT. Thats with 67 less cid, no blower and no .29 drag Coef. JB

It doesn't have to be stock rear, it just can't be a quickchange. A Ford 9" is the best way to go. Lot's of gears to play with. A 3.5 rear gear, 26" tire and 7,000 rpm should equal 155 MPH as long a

I built my car with a tank for Bonneville. They work. 5 to 10 gal should be plenty for Maxton, or a small radiator if it will fit. Also electric water pumps seem to work fine. JB
