Great Video George!! There was a lot of excitement on the track that day.

Great vid, George! Thanks for posting it. That was a fun race- for a few magical moments I was in 1972 There were some really good running machines out there- what a blast!

What's NOX?

Okay, Nitrous oxide.

NOS Nitrous Oxide Systems

Joe your ATTEX hauls A$$.
Don says his racer is stock?? and he had such a bad start and he still passed almost everyone in 5 laps. He must have the NOX hidden some place.
Can't wait to do it again.

Thanks, Marc. I think you're right, Don is running NOX. He has a great running car!!!!

I'm continually amazed at just how fast a 400cc JLO in a prime state of tune actually is. Gerber's D/stock is only a 400cc engine as well, from my understanding. It's a 5-port engine, but for a regular old 400cc axial fan engine, you sure get a heck of a bang for your buck with them. If you can get the airflow worked out well with a well-tuned carb and exhaust, get your clutch and belt adjusted right, get the right cruisin' sprockets on there, it's tough to beat on a budget.

The McKay is likely the same story (amazing state of tune, and just set up perfectly), although I don't know if the heads have been off since the mid-seventies so anyone can take a look-see at just how that thing is put together. Sometimes, everything just comes together in one extremely strong, tight package, and it "just works". It's troubling sometimes when you try and try to replicate the machines that work so well, and nothing seems to be going right. I can attest (after years of just such struggling) that when stuff finally comes together, and you squeeze the throttle on that straightaway lap after lap, and you feel the machine putting you back in your seat allll the way until turn one, and that 6000 rpm scream just gets sweeter and sweeter, it's a good day.

Ignore the grenaded bearing carriers, the broken chain, and the melted down piston. That's all little stuff.

You're right, Mike!! My 400 JLO was running great and it was set up stock. I was doing pretty good in the over 50, then I developed a problem with the carb and dropped out on the last lap. I ran it in two other races even though it wasn't running 100%. When I got it home; I tore the carb down and found pieces of what looked to be rubber stuck in the needle and seat Assy, holding it open. I'm going to change the secondary clutch and the exhaust for next year and play around with different sprockets. I love it!!! it's all part of the FUN!!!!!! Who's going to Philipsburg?

How cool, those were some great videos!

[Don]

Cool! Keep the videos coming! I've got some footage, but I have to wait until my new software gets here to edit the stuff. Thanks to one of our photography gurus (George) I found a software package that even I can use, or so he says!
