Don

Thanks for posting the video. Looks like you had fun. :beerchug:

:beerchug: Yes Don thanks, now I know what you look like,lol.

Thanks Sam. That was in Sturgis Ky. NQS was trying to get on TV and Midwest Super Cub paid to have a recording crew there. NQS never did get a TV deal. but that was the sales footage they used.

The tractors that finished 1,2,3 & 6 had MVP motors in them. for those that didn't know MVP was Midwest Vogt's Performance. it was a deal between Midwest Super Cub and My brother Jim. had a good weekend there. starting last year Super Cub did start building their own motors under the JES name .

that was cool Don, thanks!! Are you pulling at burnett next year?? im missing steaming/thresheree/pulling season already......

I don't know. I sold the engine and trans out of my puller last winter. taking a couple years off. still working on them for others . went to 2 summer pulls last year to watch. My brother let me drive his in one class and we won. Bruce Austin has been letting me drive his NQS open Super Stock so I don't miss it to much yet. .

Always better when you don't have to pay to build the toy for the seat time. :beerchug:

that's one way to look at it.

Any driving advice for the garden stock altered or light stock modified?

What I am wondering about is, what is the best way to start off: wide open and give it hell, or about 3/4 throttle for the first 20 feet or so to get your line where you want it, then go full throttle? What about the end of the track? Would it help to back off the throttle a bit or just keep spinning tires until you stop moving?

Wide open throttle and use the clutch to control wheel spin. If you let off the throttle you may never get those RPM's back. Avoid dumping the clutch and bringing your front wheels way up in the air. Here is a video of my 10 year old.

you will find on an open RPM engine you almost use the gear as a governor to help control where the engine will run in the RPM band.
Austin is right on the money. WOT and easy on the clutch. in the NQS vid that I posted its not uncommon to ride the clutch 20 to 30 feet t keep the revs up . you should see some of the clutch's we take out that are all burnt blue,.
