Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Quote - Now, back to Mike Koehn, a.k.a. Wildman... When we were at the track in Tucson, did you run the 1/8th or 1/4 ? If you did run the 1/4, did you shift? Specifics please so I can get my head out of my ass and figure this out. You mean Miami ???............ See previous video on this post.........

I hear what's being said here but it still doesn't sound quite right. If WM get off the throttle prior to going through the traps, yes, the speed would bleed off so I get that now. Had to think about it again and the "letting off the throttle" explains this. It also suggests the time would...

Wildman, Mike ran a 11.062 at 104.94 in the 1/4 only using first gear and letting off the throttle before the 1/4 mile mark, not sure what his top speed was but he was going 107.15 when he passed the 1/8 mile point of the track. His 1/8 mile time was 7.092. Very impressive times especially for his ...

Mike, I believe your bike ran an 11.18 1/4 mile without NOS. You should be in good shape with Nos and a high stall converter. I would expect around a 10.0-10.2 at around 140 mph. David David, Wet the bed Fred...you didn't address my post :evil: ! Just let me stay all dazed and confused :? thinking ...

Geez, I LMA...oops, don't have to do that crap any more. I laughed my ass off to that one! Boy, what we have to look forward to! David, I remember Mike doing great and if that time you suggest is accurate, it would wipe any of the very hot 4 wheelers ass such as a Z06, Viper, etc. What I don't remem...

Ron,

If he doesn't have that motor standing by, tell Geez to use the one out of his Willy's or the 'Stang. Hard to believe he's running around in that go-kart with such a history of seriously big guns...

Els, As mentioned to you and Geezer I wanted to point out that after cleaning my carb on the white bike, I realized the the linkage was set in such a way that the 4 barrels were not opening. It will be a real exciting ride now. After changing engines, manifolds, and adding nitrous plates somewhere ...

Geez, as I've said before, thanks for all you are doing to bird dog the info and get us lined up at the track. Not only this coming year but LAST year! I'm anxious to hear the numbers ($$$'s) as Dave (Squirm) has asked how much to see if there's a shot at getting both lanes rented and what we can e...

Hopefully we can get Geezer to post the track stuff for East Meets West in May here on this board. I look at the other site at the track thread and there's all this chatter about anything other than racing. Guess the moderators feel 50's music, travel and other subjects are bike stuff and don't need...

Man oh man, good posting going on here at the Rebel site :D . Kidd's new chopper, Tommy's new chopper and winter projects, Dave's cool '57 HD, and Ric's women! Ric, remember in the Blues Brother's movie 8-) ....Jake (Belushi) says in the restaurant scene; "How much for the woman? How much for t...

Els, there is a rumor going around that Elvis is going to run circles around your V8 Chopper (them is fighting words) at Miam uh and he don't need no stinkin nitrous. :lol: WM, You're a BIG trouble maker! Elvis would be one of the guys to worry about based on last year's performance...if I had a hi...

Tom, All is good whether stock 350 or ZZ4 but you've got a leg up with the ZZ4. I went with 100 hp shot as well not wanting to test the piston limits. Like you, I don't have forged. It actually worked great because with the 300 tire, the 100 shot doesn't just put it up in smoke like higher shots may...

Ken takes 1st prize when it came to V8 website contraversy. Els I miss the Swans.:) Elvis, Your memory is very good. Better than mine for sure. I vaguely remember the association between V8eyedoc and the swans but forget the specifics. If able, jog my memory so I can stroll down Memory Lane! I clea...

Ain't love grand!!! All is right with the world again! http://www.clsinc.net/bikepictures/emoticons/laugh2.gif http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/view/pXTCcqxVLgYR3RaC Ricky, I'm still wiping tears from me eyes with that one. There's funny and then there's FUNNY :lol: !!! I will have to tell you though....

I will take your advice to heart and try to improve myself with your experience. Thanks for the years of friendship and your wise words. WM http://www.v8bikers.net/300rebel.jpg WM, Whatever you do, DO NOT take my advise or consider my words that of words of wisdom! Very few stay in as deep a hole o...

Mike, Some interesting history there. I go back quite a ways to the first website although somewhat of a lurker at first. I get a real chuckle hearing V8eyedoc (Ken) was used as a moderator! Whoa, talk about the fox guarding the chicken coop........ :shock: Ken takes 1st prize when it came to V8 web...

Having been out of the loop and elsewhere, details please. Is there a thread somewhere that gives details on wreck and new ride?

Els

Great seeing some folks here for the first time or coming here after not being here much or of course the ol' farts (like Olaf!) who are always here! It really is a great site and just flat out comfortable not to have to waste mental resources wondering or worrying about how you're going to piss som...

Hey guys, good to be back here. It's more comfy for me and it's a great group...I just wish it got the readership numbers and activity the other site gets. Perhaps with time. Then perhaps it's not how much or how many but rather the content. Ron, I yam what I yam. I'm in good company hanging with yo...
