I am 17 years old and this is a Barstool racer i built from the ground up, it can rev up to 9,000RPM+ the motor is a sleeper, nothing stock with the internals, but the outside apperence is, and it also has a Dry stage 1, and a Wet stage 2 Nitrous shots, about 27hp w/o nitrous, and you probley could mutply that 27 hp by 1.5 and get the hp # with nitrous. it has a 6:1 gear ratio, and on paper it says it can go about 90s, but add some of the factors in and it probley can go about 75, i have personaly gone 40-50s on a strip, and the engine is only moving about 4500-5000 RPM, thats all w/o nitrous, with nitrous i can go about 0-30 in 2.5 seconds, and i never gone any faster than mid 30 with nitrous (too Quick), the clutch is a Horstman REDHAWK w/ a 1" bore crankshaft, to a 3/4" bore crankshaft. To stop the thing i have a rear honda CBR1000R brake kit.

They use to do that around Bochman lake in Dallas, maybe they still do.
The fellow that always won the gas division was a friend of mine. I didn't even know he was into that. He was a Mercedes mechanic.
The last time I saw him, I had gone to a place called the Windmill Theater (a supper club) in Dallas, to see a fellow named Todd Rungren. I had one mixed drink, and even though the show was great, i had to leave as I started feeling poorly...........forget it this is a long story....Careful with That Axe, Eugene
