Ride along flathead V-8 181.808 MPH

Congrats Ron! Have watched your progress from when it was a dream in your head and an empty drop tank on the floor .... very impressive indeed - now onward to the illusive 200mph??:eek:

7000 r.p.m. in a flathead and as smooth as a cruze down the highway. I know it's not as simple as it looks. Congrads
 
What's the rotation speed of a flathead-powered racer? Must be faster than a B-52.

Technically, a B-52 doesn't rotate at takeoff.
 
Thanks for the ride, really enjoyed it. Might want to put the camera in a better place on the next one. Looking forwars to the 200 mile run.
Take care Ol' Ron

Lawson, I got a sneaky suspicion that if you were riding along,
in person, at 181 mph that you would want to Write Everyone
you know about that experience. :D:D:D

Great stuff. quite an achievement. That sounded great too. everything spinning down at the end was cool.
 
Its amazing how tame flatheads sound. After fireup it just sat there and idled, you would expect it to sound like a prostock car. Very kool!!!!!!!
