"Dummkopf"

FROSTY · 2012-10-27T09:36:38+00:00

Hi There, after trying to build a dragster last year (that's another story) I have decided to do a tube car. I have been running a 63 beetle with a quickest of 13.69sec and this is just not enough so the plan is to build a new one using the engine, box and front end with some up grades in the future. Looking round the net there are some really cool budget builds and some of these home built machines are inspiring. Over the last 3 weeks I have got it off the ground and starting to look the part. "Dummkopf" it already has a name

We don't know the weight, perhaps 100 at the wheels?

You might know this but if you don't wire the lm2 up to a 12v source that doesn't switch off when you kill the engine you'll lose your log every time, it needs to be stopped logging before switching off which is easy to forget at the races. I had mine set up in a cigarette socket and it would jiggle around a bit, lose power for a split second and lose the log as well, so I hard wired it in.

Thanks for the tip Owen, that I wouldn't have known. I haven't finished wiring yet so that saved me some time. ( exactly what a forum is for )

Ok its 2014 and i'm starting with a fresh motor. Massive THANKS to Dave Butler for his time and Knowledge! I’m still running 1776 but have put some new parts in. AA Piston/ cylinders, Pauter Cam and followers ( Dave knows the specs) Autocraft 1.4:1 rockers on my stock heads (not really meant to fit but with machining they did), Dave installed new guides and gave the heads some more porting, new stock valves have been installed, pushrods needed to be shortened too.
Now there is a couple of things left, run the cam in, finish fixing the trailer this weekend, TNT on the 5th Feb and then the JP 1/8 mile series round one at Warwick on the 8th Feb.
