It's moving straight, low to the ground,

Good job Wayne. You certainly put out some good stuff.
How tractable would a motor like that be for everyday driving - just for interests sake?

So you're doing 192 kilometres per hour in 11 seconds with, what looks like, 1950s crash protection technology (or lack of). You're a brave man.
That's not meant as a criticism. I worry about my ovals ability to crash well and it's got a 6 point roll bar, Saas seats and a harness. I probably
do 180 maximum and it takes a fair bit longer to get there.
Does it worry you?
It looks good. Thanks for providing such and interesting and suspenseful post.

Good job Wayne. You certainly put out some good stuff.
How tractable would a motor like that be for everyday driving - just for interests sake?

I will let you know in a couple of weeks as I plan to drive the oval to work and back daily . being injected it is very smooth to drive at low RPM and
you dont know that the turbo is there unless the throttle is jumped on .

So you're doing 192 kilometres per hour in 11 seconds with, what looks like, 1950s crash protection technology (or lack of). You're a brave man.
That's not meant as a criticism. I worry about my ovals ability to crash well and it's got a 6 point roll bar, Saas seats and a harness. I probably
do 180 maximum and it takes a fair bit longer to get there.
Does it worry you?

nope !! the only minor concern that I had was the ovals ability to leave the start line straight , so I did my first run on 8lbs boost to get the feel
of the car . IT FELT GREAT !! then it was 14lbs boost all the way and the oval left the line straight , stayed straight and felt secure . It didn't
feel very fast , but when I looked down at the poor little 80mph speedo and the needle was stuck hard against the stop on the wrong side of zero then
I knew we were hiking !!

mmmyeah, i was wondering how you hold your helmeted head up against the g forces with lowback seats.

even in 4th gear , the seat and me became one . It was pushing me back so hard that I felt that I was going rearward between the seat-back uprights as
there is no support bar between them .
