From the way I read it, the car is for sale now. You might want to add the little bugger to your

collection.


Man,t hat's neat, John. Good use for old cars and bike engines. back in the late 70's and early 80's the 'micro-midget racers were using CB 750 Honda engines for 12 mile dirt track racing. limited only by CC's one guy made a car using a Kawasaki 750 two-stroke triple. Bike stock they were 87 hp. Then when you raise the compression and put on expansion chamber exhaust it wasn't difficult to get a bit over 110 hp out of it.

The local tracks band him because he was 'non competative' kinda like nascar. Everybody runs the same engines, frames, restricted carb plates. so it comes to the skill of the driver, not the power of the car.
