At first I counted the headers on the Green Monster --48!!-- but I guess it's "just" 24 cylinders.
|
Yes, four engines.
I read long long ago those zoomie headers pointing up produce a downforce of a couple hundred pounds for just one engine. |

I did not know that about the upward-facing headers. Cool engineering trick to keep your wheels stuck to the ground. |
They are 12's, hence 48 pipes.
The front ends just sort of wander around. Do US pulls use a sled with a driver? |

For some reason I think it was Garlits who discovered the downforce effect but not sure. |

The Hell Cub is owned by Diversatech Incorporated - American Manufacturing in
Pennington, NJ, just above Trenton. I want to get hold of them after the holidays to see if they can do some lazer engraving for me, so Maybe I can see this beast. I'd like to see the driveline. |
My grandfather had one of those, and I drove it a lot one summer 30 years ago. His only modification was to have a hose in the radiator cap leading to a plastic jug so he could catch the water that boiled out of the radiator and pour it back in while out in the field.
In hindsight, I wonder why he didn't just use some compressed air to blow the fins of the radiator clean of all the dried grass clippings packed in there. I learned how to use a grease gun to grease the sickle mower attachment before each use. That was the only maintenance. It was sold a couple years later for $800, which seemed a little low to me for a tractor that worked. |

Bulletin: It's winter, DUH :facepalm:
This is Oregon but ice happens way down in Texas too. |
That looks like hell, but I wonder how many of the carried vehicles are actually completely undamaged?
|
Undamaged until the whole rig drops off the cliff. :eek:

He wears a helmet to protect his brain but I suspect that's a lost cause. :lol:
So far his best speed is 45.55 mph but he wants 60 mph. |

Give her a tune up and there's a little vibration in the driveline so you can adjust that too.
|
Cool rig.

Wright Brothers need an engine. Nobody made one suitable so they built one...

Snow and Ice are not good for motorcycles so a snow machine to fill the gap.

The way the axles/wheels are positioned it looks like the heavy center section swings out. So why doesn't it tip over?
The legs on the end of the center section have no wheels and would have to fold up out of the way to swing it. Color me sceptical. |
I have a USB thumb drive that looks a lot like that
|
|
We've done a couple RV road trips, many RV parks are just glorified parking lots and wouldn't have enough space between vehicles to swing out like that.

They look like renderings.
Still kinda cool, though. |
CGI for sure but clever design.

Towing Machines...

I see Big Bertha is chained up. Because, Rochester, of course.

The Locomobile towing rig has chains on all 4 corners.

Cleaning out my Uncles garage...
|
That has seen some serious use in its day.
|
Definitely. The chain has mud on it.
It does pull freely, but may just be a decoration when cleaned up. |

I've seen ppl use a half log stood against the wall of their shop to hold their saws.
Stab the running saw diagonally into the log, and park it there. ETA: Couldn't find a pic. So I made one. I used a really old camera, so, apologies for quality: Attachment 69819 |
The last house I lived in my housemate had an old 28" pioneer. Heavy as a bitch but rarely kicked. Then he loaned it to his brother for a weekend.
"whatta ya mean I was sposta put oil in the gas?" :( |

Not your make or model, but similar vintage and condition.
Amazing work. |
The two thumbs up at 8:30 made me smile in relief.

Next thing you know they'll take an interesting turn...

NASCAR, not regular cars.
Interesting turn, lol |
