Teaser Rod

The Great American Race stopped in Nashville last night at The Lane Motor Museum . We were there to investigate, and on Tuesday and Wednesday Sam and I will infiltrate the ranks whilst on our motorbikes.

About the rod. Can you say Rolls Royce/Allison V-12 tank engine? 1790 cubic inches.....1200 horsepower.....1600 foot pounds of torque (yikes!)..... and 2 miles to the gallon! This is easily the most outrageous thing I've seen in some time.

More to come.....on this and other rods from The Great Race, and also from the week-end car show at Titans Stadium.
