nickf1011>>>>>>>""""""""If politics forces us out before then, we WILL fail.

AMEN, absolutely right; just be glad we do not have to win WW-2 again. I can recall the bombing of Pearl Harbor and how EVERYONE joined behind the president and military to do a much needed job. I sometimes try to think of the incident that started the downfall of morality in this great country and I think of things like the "Chicago Seven" at a Democrat Convention or the incident at Kent State. No doubt 9/11 was the worse day in the history of this country and many want to blame the U.S. for it.

One class winner collected $10,000 and look at the stands; I've seen more people at a family reunion. Only FMC, Roush or Force could stand this. Visit My Website

Come on coupe, you call someone a moron and you don't have the understanding that your post agrees with me; sure everyone knows about the Roush facility. How did he obtain it; Ford gave it to him for running Fords. Otherwise, he'd have been running Chevys and winning races and championships. You have to wonder about the "smarts" of Roush himself considering his past efforts, his "empire" and the available resources from Ford. It appears his past loyalty to Ford has been greater than his desire to win. But presently with cars and engines basically exactly alike; it really does boil down to the most talent wins the races. And don't start in about the sanctioning bodies having Ford's hands tied, that's the lamest, simple minded cop out, excuse ever presented. Nascar and Nhra have both bent over backwards to try and get the Ford fan.

Sizzler should learn to read and comprehend (understand) before calling people names.

More about Ken Veney and he also was into TRACTOR PULLING. http://www.nhra.com/50th/top50/k_veney46.html

The chart is for an unblown nitro engine and indicates the combustion pressures including the IMEP, indicated mean effective pressure. The IHP, indicated horsepower, can be calculated from the following formula which, by the way, I stumbled across 55 years ago and still remember it. IHP = P X L X A X N X C divided by 33,000. P=IMEP in PSI, L=length of stroke in feet, A= area of piston in sq. inches, N= number of powerstrokes per minute, C= number of cylinders. The actual BHP, brake horsepower, is less than the IHP due to the power required to rotate the engine. http://www.tfxengine.com/NitroEngineData.html

Except for the Longhorns and Aggies football teams, Roush could be considered the world's No. 1 underachiever; considering the last 15 or so years he's had access to tremendous Ford resources. Whenever Roush is mentioned the first thing I think of is cheating.

syrtran>>>>"""As for Force, I'd be willing to bet Ford actually let him have a bunch of dyno time, and maybe even an engineer or two with a CAD or FEA station. They do sponsor him, after all."""""" So, how much would you want to bet, but then perhaps Ford and Force were the first to try this. And my guess is the only factory engineers that ever knew anything about drag racing were the RAMCHARGERS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Fuel#Performance The “Ramchargers” were a famed drag racing team that help developed the funny car class in the sixties and well into the seventies. The “Ramchargers” were a group of Chrysler engineers that raced on the side using the best of Chrysler engineering. The team ran a series of race cars including an altered ‘49 Chrysler to a plethora of stockers and super stockers. Within the group of the Ramchargers that included Dick Maxwell, Tom Hoover, Phil Goulet, Don Westerdale, Jim Thorton, and many others, began the early development of the funny car. The Ramchargers were one of the first teams to have the 2% Super Stockers. The 2% led to the next stage of the radical altered wheelbased funny cars. The Coronet in the photos is said to be one of the first FCs into the eights, if not the first ever! Jim Thorton drove the car to a great 8.925, 150.75 at Cecil County in 1965. The Coronet was feared by many and rightly so. The car was one of the first well-known funny cars and one of the stars of the first Super Stock Nationals at York, PA, in 1965.

I would think it very likely that FORD themselves were the root cause for NHRA to add the specs to the engine rules. Ford had all the embarrassment in TF racing that they wanted. To say that the 500 shares some of the Chrysler Hemi® lineage is a gross understatement. It is really no more than a scam. Once again, the power is made above the head gaskets, everything else is just along for the ride. EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE. "All in", "all in"?, in the Funny Car class I would guess that Ford puts more $$$$$ in that class than all the other manufacturers combined. You see NHRA MUST have the Ford fan to survive and Funny Car is the only class where a Ford fan can feel good about and the great majority of them believe Force's implications. And by the way, I would bet a few coins that Ford was behind NHRA giving the PRO-BIKE V-twins the great cubic inch and weight advantage. HD alone could not have had that kind of power to force NHRA. Oh, by the way, I suspect the draftsman did not do a good job on the sketch of the Ardun in that it looks like a pent roof, and I doubt the valves being as big as they appear. Final analysis: the design of the 1951 Chrysler Hemi® has always made more power than could be utilized in nitro FC and TF racing; so why would anyone fool around with anything else.

Again, you should not post argumentively about something you know nothing about; someone might believe you.

You should not post about something that you know nothing about.

Anyone that does not recognize this as a Chrysler HEMI® should not be discussing nitro racing and as Roy Davis, winner of the first ever NHRA AA Gas Dragster Nat'l Championship once said, "The horsepower is made above the head gaskets." The sketch of the ARDUN?? is not a HEMI combustion chamber. AND Ford had no more to do with the engineering of the ARDUN than they did the Cosworth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zora_Arkus-Duntov
