Name that car.....

We set up our Indy cars just like that. Made our own level pad. Water column gauges and string bars. 4ft levels and Steel rulers and a good solid eye. Plumb bobs are irreplaceable.

Absolutely. My garage floor isn't level so we made stands 18" tall with adjustable feet and use levels and flat stock to get a nice level spot to set up the car.

Yup. We cut 12" squares from different thickness sheet stock and used the water column's to make them absolutely level.

Then one of the guys mentioned his Dad was a surveyor. He had a serious transit. We were in the game then.

Yessir. I’d never seen one in the flesh.

I’m an iPhone guy. His guide is for Android.

Made this just for you. It's not as complete as the Android version but if you should be able to figure it out. The link I copy in the video works on INGO.

I'm really curious to see what they run in the quarter. No suspension in the rear. But they are doing wheelie bars.

Luckily they’re only doing 1/8 mile. I’d fear for somebody’s life if you ran those things out to the quarter.

The modded electric carts are doing 11's.









In the quarter.

Lot of videos on the 'Busa powered cart thru the 1/8th but none of them have times.

 

[churchmouse]

Did that thing change gears...???

Electric carts are direct drive.....

I've got a 24 horse Honda V twin that I'd like to put in our golf cart one of these days.. . . . Too many projects.

I think a V-Max V-4 would be so much fun. Shaft drive already so a real rearend wouldn't be that hard. Plus that sound.....oh that lovely sound.

Thoughts for a daily? I put less than 8,000 miles a year on my current daily.

Any idea how the Hemi's hold up? The trans for 2012? And since it's a police cruiser, are parts the same or at least available from non-dealer places? I think I heard that the Dodge cop cars have Dodge only parts.
