Another neat video...I'm sure some of you have seen, if not, enjoy!

It features a Jag powered Sprite:

Just another video to keep this thread fresh.

The Spridgets come in around the 45 sec mark, some are pretty quick!

Enjoy!

Not going fast or such but a walk around my Bugeye and some 7K+ tach revs.




Here's on where I clear out the soot from all that idling.

Here is one of mine. Not terribly exciting, but since I had the video I felt I should upload it before deleting it.

The guy with the RB MGB sure likes the wrong side of center eh!!
Pretty country you've got in Kentucky. I love it out there, but only ever get to run my 18 wheeler over there.
Nice lookin' white MGA too, thanks for sharing.

Actually, it was in Indiana. It would have been fun to sprint up the hill, but we didn't really have too many cars capable of doing it within the group. At one point the cars in front slowed quickly, and the drivers were pointing to something off to the side of the road. I was thinking it was a deer about to run across the road, but it was an old midget half covered by a tarp.

Thought you might like a ride in my turboed 1500 midget. I don't know how to put a video directly to this post, but here's a link to youtube.

Sounds strong, there was a glare on the gauges, did it perform as expected.

BTW, there is a film icon on the right that allows you to put the video in the message.

In reply to a post by trevorwj Sounds strong, there was a glare on the gauges, did it perform as expected.

I'm very happy with the results, Trevor. Sorry about the glare, my 12 year old grandson was the "camera-man", thus shooting straight on to the meters. The air/fuel mix seems to be good, boost to 4.5 is high enough for me. The speedo is off by 10% whith the larger tires, which I won't mess with now.
I did get in a little hot water over the video. Jesse, my grandson, took his seatbelt off to video the run and fell into me on one of the corners, wouldn't you know that my wife and duaghter figured it out from the video? He had a blast!

CERTAINLY not a Spridget but it weighs about the same and is one of my favorite cars. Hey, who doesn't like 1000 horsepower?. Someone aptly described this as "drag racing on a road course". enjoy;

I was fortunate to see the Mclarens and 917 Porsches race back in the day...the Porsches eventually dominated with turbos & basically killed the Can Am, but what a thrill while it lasted!

The Mclarens were around 1000hp, but there was speculation that the Donahue Porsche was making 1500!

I loved the Mclarens...the ground would actually shake when they went by on the track!

Those were the days...

SCCA HP limited prep Midget on a dyno.
Fun stuff to watch. Seeing an A-series engine turn 7.6k and
the wheels going 115mph while standing next to the beast is surreal.
