Texaco duration slow race

Maybe, dunno. I run 15% so I at least have the right fuel for this one.

I have a few ideas at least...

Phil

Sounds fun!

I'm in.

Wish I had a Texaco.

What about a Texaco Jr?

Build one! I don't own a Texaco either, but I have parts to select from spanning decades.

Phil

Rules?

I like this idea a little better.

Phil

Shouldn't matter as long as it's a texaco with a tank

Does it have to be original? Built from parts? Can any parts be changed or modified?

Jason needs to confirm, but seeing as this is a duration race then the tank size would be a big player. Maybe a 5cc and an 8cc class?

Duration?
RPM?
a combination of both?

How will the fuel metering be done for fairness? 5cc vs 8cc? Hard starts?

What are allowable modifications in stock, and super stock? Do they have to be on fuel tanks or are remote tanks allowable? At what point does an engine become "unlimited"?

Would "stock" be simply putting a "texaco" back on a bee or would this require an actual "texaco" engine?

I propose an otherwise stock or assembled engine is "super stock" Using a single bypass, double bypass, with or without boost ports. Use of a fixed intake restricter would be allowed? Would fixed exhaust restricters be allowed?

Unlimited?

Technically I think any engine could enter... most are not able to run really slow.

Bang on Travis

I think keeping the blighter running at all under 5k is an achievement regardless how it's done.

Throttle?

I would say not.

Yes an engine can run slow....... It all has to do with porting and venturi size. Possibly head shimming as well. The 10x6 helped a little.......

Yeah we can over prop an engine to slow it down, but I bet a mouse engine won't do 3K with a 10x6

I think it was already said on using a 8x4 texaco prop no 10x6

I have a antique 14" prop can I use that?

I realize that..........you said just about any engine could enter which I disagree, John said any engine running under 5K is a feat no matter how it's done.

The point is not every engine can run slow.

I thought I said that...

No, you said the above. Which I took as written.

Why would you want to enter any engine that's not designed for duration? If you run out of fuel quickly you lose. If you turn the prop quickly you run out of fuel quicker and again you lose.

Not every engine is a duration engine.

If I am misunderstanding something set me straight!

Doesn't that say the same thing?

The second part does. The sentence above that does not.

I said If I am misunderstanding something please let me know. By saying any engine could enter do you mean any Texaco or any engine in general?

Feel free to shoot me a PM so we don't bung up this thread.
