Ok!... What ever............

Hey, I don't want to spoil the old man's fun! :banana:

I just ordered a bunch of suspension crap.

Mia on 103.9 the Bear sounds really hot.

Bye!

No google cheats!! Guess the year this car ran at Indy and the driver. I was there with my father and all of nine years old! this bad boy rocked the racing world!! When racing was the real deal....:metal: The car in my Avatar ran the next year!

I'll guess 65 or 67. They are the 3 turbines of Andy Ganditelles. Mario Andeitt, and i think Joe Leanard drove 2 of them. They all broke in the race because of a $1.50 bad bearing or something like that.


Good Morning

What looks sweeeeet Tom. Now I have to decide if I want to play catch up and get the new smaller pulley. Man with 4.10's 1st and 2nd gear must cook the back tires!! Need to see some pictures of the bigger Intercooler if you can, that might be my next upgrade. JDM is talking about a bigger pump and Intercooler on another forum, I'll wait to see what he comes up with. Also what do you think about relocating the Battery to the trunk to get a bigger Intercooler Res. tank????


:jester:

Pretty good Darrell, your close! 1967 was year the number 40 car ran, its the 1967 Studebaker STP Turbine. It lead 171 laps, on lap 197 it had gear box problems 6.00 dollar part. It finished 6th that race, heres a pic take good look at who's sitting in number 40..This is also a good view of the side mounted Gas Turbine, was said to be a nightmare to keep on the track!

Hi Guys,
Well I finally made it back about 11:00. Had to make a trip to the wishy washy to get rid of that good ole' Indiana salt bath I took. I will post my results a little later. I'll give a hint...I ani't stopped smiling since 6:30 last night. :grin::banana::grin::banana: I have had a terrible pain in my back since I left. I tried asperin, tylenol..nothing worked. I get back and read the last few pages and I figured out want the pain was. CODY....WILL YOU PLEASE REMOVE THAT KNIFE IN MY BACK? :jester: GEEZ!!
Scott :grin::grin:

Hey Darrell I try to get more pix this weekend. Right now, I'm just enjoying the car... it is a MONSTER. Power is instant- full boost at basically anything above 2000 rpm.

The bigger heat exchanger is much like the big unit that came with the Paxton upgrade....here's a (bad) picture of the Paxton:

I don't think Studebaker sponser the car as they closed their doors here in South Bend in Dec. of 1963. It's still called Black Friday around here.

Hey Guys,
Here is were my numbers are after the cam install... I hate typing twice.http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...37#post1109737


Maybe I was too hasty to blame Cody solely for my back pain...maybe it was from a combination of Cody and riding with Tom yesterday. He had me pinned in the seat with the seat belt choking me about 12 times yesterday. :rofl2: That thing is a beast Tom!!!!!:metal:

Hahaha, you're right that was funny. :grin:

Great numbers Scott. :nice:

Darrell Yep ! Studebaker did close in 1963 but the 1967 turbine car used a Studebaker chassis ! it was the easiest chassis to modify for the side mount turbine

1967 INDY Gas Turbine Car

Document Actions

This 1967 Studebaker STP Special was built by Andy Granatelli. The side engine racer was driven by Parnelli Jones. In the 200 mile race (500 miles) at The Brickyard, Car #40 lead 171 laps. On the 197th lap, it suffered a gear box failure ($6.00 part) and eventually finished sixth. What might have been the impact on automobiles had the gas turbine-driven car actually won the race? You can see the racer in the museum in Indianapolis. The next year, "the powers that be" changed the rules to make the use of the gas turbine untenable in INDY car racing.

I was an 18 yr old applications Draftsman in 1967, working for Pratt & Whitney Turbo Power & Marine Group. This car was in our office for pre race engineering and evaluation. I worked on the motor mount drawing and sat in the car when no one was looking. This is a wonderful tribute.

Nice #s scott.....

Scott,

Great numbers, after seeing your numbers I wish I had went just with the cams and not the other stuff. I was really hoping for a little more out of the t-body and the racer intake. Glad you made it home safe, felt like a real turd leaving you there. Next time dinner is on me.

Larry and Tom, great seeing you guys again. Thanks for lunch Tom.

I'm there!:jester:

Hey Ben,
The first thing that went thru my mind last night was " I don't want Ben to know". :shame: They may not help much when you are doing a N/A pull but I bet they are a really more of a benefit when you are on the juice! Brent says he sees a wide range in just how stock motors pull everyday.
