Erik Smith Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Two things, Rob:1. Looking forward to the Charger - I looked at those too, and liked the modern touches Foose adds (wheels really).2.

Lunajammer Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Okay, the science behind my Corvette entry, I ask for your patience. In summary, the Corvette will be carrying a Nitrous Turbolene generator. Turbolene is a molecule that when combined with Nitrous Oxide creates an unprecedented infusion of power to a conventional internal combustion engine. With the Nitrous Turbolene generator, the potent gas combination is fed in automated spurts to the engine. A manual injection paddle on the steering wheel can override the automation. As spelled out in this Scientific American cover story, the LT-1 Corvette is perfectly suited as a test vehicle for a practical application of a mobile NOS turbolene generator. It’s roomy enough to carry all its parts and has the engine and performance platform to handle the speeds and agility we hope to apply. You may have read in 2003 that years of Russian research on space station MIR had validated Sergey Yevchenko’s immense mathmatical theory of turbolene which predicted the complex molecule. The full chemical names is TURBOMETHYLAMIDOPHENYLDIMETHYLPETROLPYRANITROZOLONENE It’s not a sustainable fuel on its own but when combined with liquid petroleum, can expand output, duration and MPG far beyond any other current technology. At the point of detonation within a cylinder, a turbide ion is released (represented by the green ball in the graphic below) which feeds atoms into the petroleum which in turn creates spontaneous compounding petroleum molecules in such a volatile reaction that only a small amount of petroleum is necessary to complete the burn. The NOS assures that the oxygen mix remains stable and healthy. Sergey Yevchenko’s mathematical prediction shown below was so complex only five people were able to decipher, prove and replicate it. Exhaustive Western research was hampered early on when the American collaborator, celebrated Princeton professor Arnett Cummings, forgot to carry the one in step11. The turbolene generator is actually the smallest but heaviest unit inside the whole system which includes two decaliter reservoirs that are continually pressurizing. The turbolene generator, or “doughnut,” produces the elusive molecule that allows the NOS and fuel to burn with unprecedented output while lubricating and cooling within the cylinder in ways liquid oxygen fails, yet energy expansion is compounded. The "doughnut" diagramed below, has been engineered to safely generate, store and feed from one unit, and for the first time is mobile enough to be transported in a conventional road vehicle.

Lunajammer Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) You can see how conspiracy theories evolved since the ‘90s about secret government programs that developed vastly greater gas milage and how the technology existed but was being squelched and denied by co-conspiring government leaders and big oil companies. From fragmented clues leaked from the MIR research, many ridiculous claims have circulated through the (then) new and growing world wide web. The truth in some cases was greater than fiction, it was just midguided. Edited November 27, 2017 by Lunajammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFchronos Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Welp, I'll have to bow out this year, just fried my brain looking at that... Thanks Mike Joking aside that's going to be a killer entry when completed. Nothing solid on my entry choice, still rolling stuff around my head. The top three ideas right now are. #1 Ferrari F50 (fav exotic of all time) plus y'know "Red Ferrari" #2 Custom Gremlin, very custom. #3 '66 - '67 Tempest Wagon Still close to the table is a Hellcat Challenger but even though I love Mopar's the above mentioned are more intriguing to me.

Belugawrx Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 So,...in other words,..a sleeper Mike...!? Lmbo Great stuff man Cool stuff,..Jonathan, I like the sounds of that Gremlin!! I will be in with a 70 Cuda with 3 30 gal. tanks and all the bells whistles,...lol Cheers to all of the entries so far,....keep em comin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 this is what i will be building i am a bit unsure how i am going to build this either box stock with the blown hemi or as a tuner with a turbo 4 from a mustang and ferrari wheels.

Lunajammer Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 So,...in other words,..a sleeper Mike...!? Lmbo Great stuff man Thanks Bruce.

Belugawrx Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The Cuda,...ya well it was the only kit in my dwindling stash, that had any relation to Brock Yates, ....only by being a 1970 model lol And its what I would want to drive cross country heheheI hear ya Steve,..I figure, that if I start enough builds,.... I might be able to finish ONE Good Luck everyone,...Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherunicorn Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Someone up above is going to be a little upset when they discover their molecule generator is in fact a fusion reactor, and it simply WON'T FIT. If you got it working, you could forget about the rest of the setup as you'd need a whole new system to use it. Mind you, you could probably power every town you passed through.

If you got it working, you could forget about the rest of the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH as you'd need a whole new system to use it. Mind you, you could probably power every town you passed through. Hmm. Now that you mention it, I guess I could see where the untrained eye might see a resemblance, you know, if you squint. But that's my fault. I didn't provide any sense of scale. This carefully calibrated measuring apparatus provided by the Institute of Weights and Measures shows it can easily fit into a Corvette. So... Funny you mention it, our team has been using the term "light up every town we pass through" but mostly as a speed reference.

Jantrix Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Okay, the roster is up. Again, Otherunicorn, I need more info on your build. Seventeen entrants so far, mostly from our usual suspects, but a few new faces who are quite welcome. Pat had a cool idea posting up his four racers, so here's my three. The Monza is from the original run and is called the Captain Chaos Special. My Stude racer is from the final SA run and the model went on to be a Carrera Panamericana racer. The Pacer is from the infamous Sleeperball. I've never won one, but I think I've placed third twice. Hoping to improve on that this year.

MeatMan Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) This is what I'm building this year. Sweet combo Pat!! You can pack a lot in the back of that wagon. I've only entered two so here's my pair. Edited January 14, 2017 by MeatMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canso65 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Finally had a chance to get started on the Tamiya Aston Martin DBS this morning. Cleaned up a couple of mold lines on the body, attached the front bumper, and gave it a good wash. Here it is sitting and drying before the primer flies.

Jhedir6 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Ok, so my supplier informed me that some of my parts for the Mustang are on back order, a long, long, long back order. So I've decided to switch up my entry. Since this is a "road race" I'm going to go with an entry that has a bit more speed under it. Going for this: Just ordered one of C1 Models PPI Razor Audi R8 Extreme TK's. Been wanting one of these for awhile now and Chris has just reissued it for a limited run. The TK wont ship till the end of the month, but once it arrives I'm going to focus on this pretty much exclusively till its done. I'll be doing it as a full carbon wrap with Gravity Colors paint. And of course Revell's Audi R8 as a base. David Edited January 15, 2017 by Jhedir6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
