Our club bartended tonight at the County fair and they only had Anheuser Busch products for beer. I'm not a beer drinker but was really surprised how much Bud lite has been effected. We sold two 24 packs of Bud lite and cracked open a 3rd. Sold 14 30 packs of Busch lite and some Budwiser. Last year it would have been just the opposite between Bud Lite and Busch lite.

Engaging the drives at lower smaller dia compared to mid or higher larger dia. Same as the primary clutch and belt on a smaller scale. In testing with a tight track always had a slower top speed. Loosen the track until you start seeing the speed fall off which was normally when you had ratcheting under braking and sometimes during your hole shot. You'll normally get ratcheting during braking before your hole shot. Tighten the track at that point 1/2 to a full turn when you feel the track ratcheting.- 2024 sled deliveries

All depends which type of cancer you have and how aggressive your PSA goes up. One type is slow and they just monitor your PSA. Another is aggressive and your PSA will jump fast.- Barn finds and limited production vehicles
Engine History: The OHC V12 Engine That Cadillac Almost Built BY PAUL NIEDERMEYER – POSTED ON NOVEMBER 28, 2017 first posted 12/18/2013) Imagine lifting the hood of a 1967 Cadillac, and seeing this alloy SOHC V12 nestled there. It’s hardly a far-fetched notion. In the mid sixties, Cadillac came very close to replacing its aging V8 engine with a modern OHC V12. There have been references to this program, but there was almost no photographic evidence of these intriguing engines. A while back, blog.hemmings finally convinced Cadillac to send them some detailed pictures and more information. Six prototypes were built in 1963 and 1964, all with a 60-degree bank, chain driven camshafts and hydraulic finger followers. The initial displacement was 7.4 liters, but an 8.2 was also built, which corresponds exactly to the size of the new V8 engine that eventually was built instead of the V12. Various induction systems were tried, including single four-barrel, dual four-barrel, and triple two-barrel carburetors, as well as fuel injection. Output was between 295 to 394 horsepower, and from 418 to 506 lb.ft. of torque. ccording to historian Karl Ludvigsen, the V12 engines were planned to make their initial appearance in the new FWD Eldorado in 1967. GM drivetrain engineers at that time were considering a transverse engine orientation for the FWD system, and protested that the V12 would be too long. But supposedly they then relented, and switched to a longitudinal FWD system which could have accommodated the V12. But then the V12 program was killed, “due to the poor performance of the test engines and due to a predicted inability for the engine to meet anticipated emission controls” What seems odd to me about that statement from Ludvigsen is that I have never heard of GM’s Toronado FWD program considering transverse engines, as Olds had been working on FWD prototypes since 1960 or earlier, and to the best of my knowledge, they were all longitudinal. Certainly Cadillac couldn’t have been considering their own FWD system; that just makes no sense. As it turned out, the V12 died for other reasons. But it sure makes for fascinating speculation to think of a whole generation of Cadillacs with V12s under their hoods. It came mighty close to happening.- *****Official F7BENS NASCAR 2023 Thread*****

Still ride a couple times of year with Gus and he has no problem putting on 200 to 300 miles in a day. He's currently riding a 2022 XCR 850. Fond memories when we talk about Ross's grass drags. Those were good times.- *****Official F7BENS NASCAR 2023 Thread*****
