[Fot] [TR] TR3A top speed & horn sound

[Bill Babcock]

With a 3.7 axle on Hoosier Speedsters I saw 6400 RPM at Brainerd in turn two,
tucked in behind a Porsche whale tail with an added wing. Of course I was kind
of busy, but it sure was fun. By my calculations that's 133, but I might have
made an error. I think that's the fastest I've ever gone in Peyote, though I
was also out of revs in the back straight at VIR and the front straight at
Road Atlanta

Not sure about in the day, but my TR3A street car, with Webers, a header, 2.2
liner kit, 3.7 axle and O.D. did an honest 111 mph once.

Felt like 200...

Hehe.

  Watched The World's Fastest Indian on Showtime last night.  Neat movie.
Sure
  made me think of all of the 'backyard' engineers/mechanics we have as
members
  of the FOT.
