Sorry to be negative, but Daytona seems like a terrible track for karts. Just WFO most of the time. Hope you guys get to do Road Atlanta, Barbers, AMP....so many good road courses around.
Hey, i have a 2009 6 liter Ls with a 6l90e tranny swapped in a 80's Fj45 land cruiser. My oe harness was modified to fit the swap and the ecu was reflashed. The transmission shifter i got from Pace Performance does have a tap up/down button but will it work as soon as i plug it in or is there something i need to add to make the tap option work ? Gauges look awesome by the way. Interested.
This was the least expensive road racing one could do. You could run Daytona, Charlotte, Rockingham, Roebling Road, VIR, Carolina Motorsports Park, Barber-Saab. These are not your typical go karts. Jeremy McCart from Morrow, Ga. had the Guiness Book of Records in a go-kart at Daytona with the WKA sanctioning body. Even though it was a 450-cc Rotax Shifter kart, he recorded a back straight speed just over 210mph and a 1 lap average of 151+mph. A record that still stands for a go kart under 500cc. He was a hellava driver
I drive a Corvette in Japan. It only went up to 12.4v when idling and it was 12.4v even with a new alternator and battery. Do you know the reason? Is it an ECM?
Did you ever improve on this? Just found out about tether cars and someone's put the idea of a go pro in my head and you're the only real evidence of it. I wanna see one of these things pushing 200mph with a go pro that'd be nuts
My first husband had a '69 Z28 he loved two things that car and me. Used to drag race it! it had a 302--had some great times in that car!! I found it after 42 year and got pictures of it after someone restored it. Sadly, by the time the pics arrived he had passed away of cancer...These are great cars!! I enjoyed the video. Spent many of days and nights working on this car. In a couple drag races too!! Made this old lady smile!! I felt like 20 years old again when you started her up and took off down the road!!!! :) Thanks for sharing!!!
I was issued a Colt twice in my career. Once in 1968 a 4” in uniform and again, a Detective Special 2” in 1974 and both times those weapons saved my life.
They actually are much more popular than you think. The Colt Detective Special is nothing more than a Police Positive Special with a 2" barrel and "round butt". Also the Agent and the Cobra were all versions of the PPS. The Diamondback is a Police Positive Special with a sexy barrel. I began a 36 year career in law enforcement in 1973 and revolvers were the rule of the day. Literally, the rule. While the Official Police and the Police Positive Special had been discontinued just a few years before, the Official Police was very popular. I was working with officers who had begun their careers in the 40s and 50s. They still had their older Colt and S&W revolvers. The Police Positive Special was considered a bit light and small for a police duty revolver ...probably without good cause. Detective Specials, both the old model (pre-1972) and new model (post-1972) were extremely popular for plain clothes officers and off duty use. I still have the one I carried for many years (and still carry it occasionally). FWIW, in the 70s the most popular revolvers from Colt were the Colt Official Police and the earlier Trooper and Trooper .357 revolvers. I had a Trooper MKIII, which is a different revolver (post-1969) than the earlier Trooper. Good, sturdy police duty gun, but not as finely made as the earlier Colts. S&W Model 10, 13, 15 and 19 revolvers were very popular. J frame S&Ws were popular for plainclothes and off duty. Stainless steel guns would eventually replace Nickle plated guns, but in the early 70s they were few and far between and expensive. Despite what some may think based on movies, the Colt Python was never very popular with police officers. Most of us had to buy our own guns and Pythons were too expensive and offered nothing useful to a police officer over an Official Police or Trooper MKIII. They were much too expensive for cities that issued handguns to even consider. N frame S&Ws, Model 27 and 28 were either expensive (Model 27) or heavier than needed (Model 28) Great revolvers, I have a 4" Model 28, but they are heavy. They weren't as popular as K frames. L frames didn't come along until 1981 and my department started authorizing 9mm semi-autos in 1986, so L frames were a bit late to the party to be very popular. Incidentally, they fit a Colt Official Police holster perfectly. Colt had the frame size right all along!
@@craigfinley2507 Depends what you call "best". The most common in the Colts was "I" or "E" frame (identical except for firing pin placement) this is the Official Police, Trooper, Trooper .357, Trooper MKIII, Metropolitan MKIII, Lawman MKIII, Officer's Model Match. This is essentially identical to the S&W "L" frame. (they will fit the same holsters) The most common in the S&W handguns was the "K" frame. I preferred the larger "N" frame, but the "K" frame was much more common. S&W didn't make the "L" frame at that time, and by the time they came out (early 80s) most officers had seen the writing on the wall about revolvers. Existing officers weren't going to invest their own $$$ into a new revolver when they would probably be replaced within a few years. Some new officers in the early 80s chose the "L" frame...and then switched to semi-autos within 5-6 years. Until 1986 we had no choice except to carry revolvers. Detectives, plainclothes, off duty and backup guns were usually Colt "D" frame (Agent, Detective Special, Cobra) or S&W "J" frame (Chief's Special, Centennial, Bodyguard) Choose what you think is "best", they are/were all suitable for police duty. FWIW I do not know of any police officers who shot a K frame S&W .357 Magnum to the point it had to be replaced. That was not the police doing that. We were issued 158 gr. lead SWC .38 Special ammo for duty and for practice, along with .38 Special target wadcutters for practice. No one was shooting out a K frame with *that* ammo. Supposedly that was the "reason" behind the "L" frame. Maybe, but police officers just don't shoot that much .357 Magnum ammo. Sport shooters probably shot more .357 Magnum ammo than police officers. We shot what was CHEAP...that means the FREE ammo we were given for practice...and those weren't even +P .38 Special.
Is that Larry Jones’s old car from Lynnwood Indiana I used to buy a lot of speed parts from him and my dad did too he sure looks like that 69 he had sitting back in the barn it’s driving me nuts just let me know yes or no I’m glad you got it somebody need to do something with it
