11/2 Phil Perry, tuning a Polaris 700 twin hilldrag sled, full SLP mod engine with SLP twin pipes
11/2 Barry Taggart and Justin Fuller re-dyno testing a formerly fast Yam 700 drag engine but troublesome for the past two years–bad fuel flow once again rears its’ ugly head. Solid mount engines must be balanced lke sewing machines if we expect high RVP race gas to stay liquid in the float bowls–this one was smooth and dandy first time at the dyno but something has changed the crank balance, and now the fuel turns to foam and engine runs lean…
11/7 Jack Lloyd with another Polaris 500 circle tracker owned by Dom Antonucci one of the Jack Lloyd built 500s won Eagle River last year..
