Who is building Fountains engines for his next speed attemp?
 
Does anyone know who is gonna build Reggie's engines for his next attemp at setting the "V" bottom record?

Pratt and Whitney? General Electric? Maybe a Scram Jet or a Pulse Jet? I bet Sterling, that way HE can't lose:D

MitchStellin 04-14-2004 09:55 PM

Oh I forgot, the number one builder in Western MI...JimV Jim Valeko 616-735-0800 and BJ of course.:D Hey Jim, did I mention I need a favor.:D

I heard he's building 2000hp alcohol drag race motors.

Should be interesting if they can live the distance.

I know there is a twin 1600 hp boat being prepared(not at NC) and they are Sterlings-I think. I may be going down for the attempt so I'll let you know. It will be soon.

I heard the deposit for the motors has been sent and it didn't go to Sterling!! Any guesses?????



I'll give you a hint..... they are more than 1600 ponies each and their built in IOWA...

The XXX boat had Injector hats on it. I bet it probably was more hp than they claimed.

Its not hard build a 2000 Blown alcohol motors. look at the Fastest street car shoot out motors . There 2500-2700hp now.and the small block Turbo motors are higher.

Wal-Mart I hear

Race Crafters???

My guess would be Troy Dennis if he is still around. Reggie used him a lot in the past. He built the alcohol motors that were in Jack Carmody's Fountain that Reggie st the record at 131.94 back 95 or 96 with.
