      The weather is absolute crap, and I didn't want to venture too far with something unproven by myself, but here is a hot lap around the Scanlon pole bending track. Weather is so bad I couldn't even get a GPS fix to see the speed on the pig. I'm pretty sure it's better than the 16.11 MPH with the opposed twin Briggs. It will spin all 6 tires from a standing start. Time to stock up on axle bolts!! I still have the waterproof cover on the camera, so the audio sucks, but she pretty much sounds like a Harley

        In the video it looked like those trees were trying to jump in front of you real fast.....Does leaning really help in the turns? LOL

            I doubt it helps, but it's something of a natural reaction

            Hard to believe how many machines have come through my shop since that Terra Tiger. I still think about that machine damn near every time I get in one. It lives a happy life in Tasmania now.

            The 40 HP is a rough guess. It will go on the Dyno after Busco to see exactly where it is. Builder claims based on past engines that it should be 38 to 42, so I split the difference.

            The Driveway was just getting settled back to normal from when I got the Bigfoot going in the first place. I take the box blade to it a couple times a year when it gets too rutted up

                  Looks great Race.
                  Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

                    Now that is allot faster now then when I was up there a few weeks ago. I'll have to get you to help walk me through when I ever upgrade my engine.

                      Actually, it does when you go fast in a turn, especially if you are stock & have a bench seat. I think it helps distribute the weight, however so slightly, to the inside wheels. Try doing it both ways. Fast as you can sitting erect & then leaning into the turn. You should feel a difference in control.

                      Brian, More HP means you have to think a lot quicker. Are you up to it?

                        I try really hard not to think when driving... reactions are quicker than thoughts

                          I guess in this case, it's O.K. to react without thinking.

                                I have 5 spares for Busco... once they are gone, Becky gets shoved out of the Wild Wolf and I start breaking parts on it
