Paul53 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Sadly, nobody but POTUS is addressing this. I intend to end the suffering! Prepare cash only in an envelope and PM me for address. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an odd pairing though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 1,300 hp, the “rocket drag axle” could also set you back into and through your seat. This latest creation from the ever-escalating delusions of a speed-crazed inventor was bolted to the back of a Halibrand or larger Frankland Champ quick-change rear end housing. Sometimes speed lust overtakes reason. Rather than creating thrust power like a typical jet engine, the power was transferred instead through the quick-change gears to reduce the turbine’s 60,000 rpm directly to the axles...." If this doesn't "thrill you", there is a more descriptive dissertation on the operation in the article! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
