Bonus! Was he wearing a Don Garlits t-shirt?
I'll bet he has a drawer full of them.Bonus! Was he wearing a Don Garlits t-shirt?
very neat video
but, and I'll get crucified for saying this - but V8 with only 180hp?
Man has tech come a long way!
You know Im a HD fan...but it pisses me off that they have had the 'tech' for a long time to make some dang power and they choose not to. The Buells (where my heart is) were putting out over 100hp in a 1200cc evo engine for well over a decade before a factory sportster started to break the 3-digit mark. Why hold back? Oh, I know...Everything has evolved except Harleys
I don’t know how true this is but I remember reading that a new calculator has more computing power than the Apollo 13 had.
Ten years later Garlits was making near ten times that horsepower with the same engine.very neat video

I know it's likely a MUCH different motor and nitro fuel, but 1600+ hp in the 70s? NutsTen years later Garlits was making near ten times that horsepower with the same engine.
By 1955 that motor was pumping out 300 horses in a production car and the next year the motor was the first to make one horsepower per cubic inch as a production motor; 355 horses from 354 cubic inches, nearly double the horsepower of the siren motor.I know it's likely a MUCH different motor and nitro fuel, but 1600+ hp in the 70s?

The big block V8 in the last years of the C3 corvette only made 200 horsepower.very neat video
