No matter whose car he was driving you can bet he was driving the wheels off of it, the kind of driving that seemed to keep him getting DQ'd when racing with other groups.

I think you're right, Bob. The car of Gary's that Nelson drove is a Stewart Chassis, I believe.

Word on the street was it was a "large" motor, but I'll say this, the last time I saw it run at Rushville, Nelson hit everything except the ferris wheel, and it was shaking, it was funny, up to a point, when he took us out, big time, I think Kyle went over at least 6 times, ck out the videos on MTQRL website, it'll make you think!

Oops, looks like that video has been deleted! Bob I found it, Google mtqrl@rushville 2009, and look around just a little, and it was at least six times!

My bad!!! I didn't know he was driving a "Super Trick Hot Shot Left Coast Car" with a Cheater Motor in it. I thought it was just hard nosed driving that got him two wins in a row. It is a shame good driving is almost always traded off to cheating one way or the other. Or a super chassis that everybody thinks they need in order to win. Sometimes it is something simple like a Di-Bar that every hot shoe had to have to be fast. Combine your product with A good race driver and you can sell a lot of race parts to a lot of gullible people wanting to beat them same good race drivers.

How big can a guy make a 750 Honda and still have a reliable motor? I think AJ is also building a few of them 750's now. Every time I go up there lately he always has 2 or 3 of them things laying around.

Well, 836cc is the local limit, I have a friend in Texas that starts at 1200 and goes up from there, plus turbo charged, money seems to be the only limits. Bob

Bob

Do they have to notch the cylinder liners to get clearance? Just how big can he bore one of them things?
