[> The '55 had a Reher-Morrison 555 for power. It had 2 carbs on a tunnel ram and carried 2600#. For what it's worth, I did look, and if you doubt it, you should have followed me around. Starting with the first race of 2003, we will pull hoods and check everything that is pertinant to the rules. This was a test and tune race for all of us, and we just tried to let as many racers as we could get a taste. Feedback so far has been excellent! Which car were you with? -- John Harrison, 22:21:35 11/18/02 Mon [1]

[> I was not with a car, YET. Considering on playing next year. Yes, please tell us what heads were on it and also was it a tall block? I understand that it was a test session for the club, but as a potential new player just trying to get info on cars that were there and monitor the game. Maybe would be easier to post the questionaire from each car that teched, then we could read for ourselves. -- curious, 11:49:06 11/19/02 Tue [1]

[> It don't matter at this point if he really had a RM 555 in there the SB guys need a little help to keep up @ 2600 lbs it had to be making 1050hp thats 1.89 Hp per inch thats not out of reach at all with 2x4s plus the guy never even had to open the hood that should show you guys it can be done. By the way good job Mr. 55 sorry dont know his name. -- Salsberry, 14:16:17 11/19/02 Tue [1]

[> A Reher-Morrison 555 has CNC'd Pro1's and a standard height block...read their adds. Be assured... at the races next year, we will look at everyone's combo, look for spray, and P&G if we think it is needed. -- John Harrison, 19:39:55 11/19/02 Tue [1]

[> I know it had a sheet metal manifold and 2 carbs. He weighed 2600# every round. I did not make any assumptions. I looked. The older 555's came with the Dart head. the new ones have Pro 1's. As I have said, we will P&G anything we think needs it next year, and anything that you racers put up protest $ against. The 55 was just freshened up by Hans, as I understand it, and possibly he stepped it up a little. At the first event next year, look for a much stronger tech. This was just a test flight, and almost everyone thought it was ok. Just a few of you who have a problem with some of our antics. -- John Harrison, 12:31:21 11/20/02 Wed [1]

[> This is what is really under the hood!! It is a 555 with -2 Brodix heads. The motor was gone through by Hans just to make sure it was all good to go, as it had sat for a while. It was not hopped up any! It was great racing with you guys, and I am looking forward to running the whole season next year. We will be making some changes so we can run at 2450lbs, and we will be legal, just as we were at this race. Thanks for the interest! -- David Baldwin, 20:48:12 11/20/02 Wed [1]
