    Perth people, 5.9 sec ET bike?

    Hey Rock Hard et al over there in Perth.
    Morry, was talking to a man yesterday that had built a blown rotary powered dragbike.
    He sold it nearly finished to a bloke over your way, who allegedly runs 5.9 quarters.

    Bloke on the naturally aspirated one gets his foot nice and toasty warm. Imagine the noise.
    Would think it the same bike, eh Greg.
    The man said it was I think 590 Hp on the dyno.
    Doesnt look like it converted to the white dyno @ 144, but.

    Thanx, Dude.
    That's probably it, he said motor was mounted east-west.
    Thinking he may have wanted to do 5.9.
    That's honkin, take some doing.
    Cheers,
    G
    Is that the footpeg on the exhaust?
    At least it's got a muffler.
    Imagine how much noise a blown rotary would let out.

    Yeah, you'd hafta consider wearing your steel jocks when it started poppin and bangin. I'd imagine it'd hafta have a plate over the blower. Apparently makes heaps of snot, if it let's one off you'd expect a 6 for sure. Cool!
