  1. I think having a snow blower attachment for it would make it very efective in heavier snow. Even 6 wheel drive might make it challenging to push heavy snow. Of couse trying to control something remotely on a slick surface while looking through a camera..... ? while passing close to the bumper of someones truck... could be risky if you hit a slick spot on the left and not the right.... And we think 7's are hard to insure... It is still very cool though. I think making it with tracks instead of tires might be better.

    nice trike

    I think it is awesome and if I had one I would live on it... I'm am just trying to figure out how in the hell he is keeping it cool..... That is alot of motor... and I know how tough it is to keep Mojito cool and its half the size and cylinders with a big hole in the front to catch air... :0
  3. Whew... I sure would not have wanted to been the people seeing that one up close. I saw a simular roll at Mid Ohio, the slid off the track sideways and hit the gravel. Same thing, I did not think he would ever stop rolling end over end.
  4. Mondo, I have looked at the traction control systems and ABS systems for the car. There is something about Raw car that I really like. It makes the driver get connected with the car and the track.... its like doing the tango naked.... I have to say when we rented the Corvette to do the Fireball Run it was amazing with all the on-board systems it just about drove its self around the track, Fun and Fast but not Raw. Would Mojito be faster with the extra systems? probably. Will I add them to her eventually? I most likely will have to at some point. I just don't know that my skill level as a driver will leave me with any other options.... RNR: (A sensitive right foot and a basic sense of self preservation should suffice) Here's where I have always come up a little short, I am always just a little to heavy with the right foot and if I had any sense I would surely be investing my time and money somewhere else.... Not trying to paddle upstream with a toothpick.. But there is nothing like a good challenge. We don't have 7's because we have sense or are sensitive kind of guys, We love the thrill of life and Raw cars. Skip: Isn't that why they invented forced induction to start with ? Of all people I know you understand this.... 41 lbs of boost @ 1900 hp..... Hummmm... Thats probably too much... or is it?
  5. Hell I'm happy to hit something at 500 yds, let alone 2600+... That is a skill that is honed for years and prefect conditions.
  6. I think I have Kenny talked into coming down with us. So we will tune for 600 and see what she does. We will have several different tunes available from mild to WARP Factor XX... I have a chassis guy looking at our suspension setup to see what changes we might need to make to try and get more power to the ground. Then we will take it to the drag strip and see what gives. We are also making some aero changes to make her a little slicker Wish we could make it as slippery as that GT.... Here is a pretty informative web site for chassis setup. http://www.racelinecentral.com/RacingSetupGuide.html
  7. I don't think WOW can even begin to express that..... I hope we will have Mojito finished and tested by this falls Texas mile. I would really like to see what she can do before I leave. One thing I am quite confident of is that we will not keep up with that thing.
  8. That will make you look at speed bumps in a whole new way
  9. I raffled off a ride in Mojo at one of the trade shows we went to. One of the fellows that won was about 5' 2" and about 250 lbs. I was thinking "oh no" I did not want to embarrass him. He had a little trouble getting over the sides but amazingly I squeezed him into that little seat and buckled him in. He said that it was one of the exhilarating experiences of his entire life. Getting him out was a completely different challenge.
  10. Dam that thing is pretty cool ... I sure would like to steal the fenders off of it... I bet you could buy it for 15,000 minus the wing.....

    Here is another one of a DEA agent teaching kids what not to do.... Shoots him in front of the class.... then tries to play it off... What kind of idiot brings ammo into a class room... and puts his finger on the trigger.... ? EVER unless you are planning on firing the weapon.... YouTube - DEA Agent

    A love story

    I guess I'm lucky because my wife would say " go get the Mojito and lets go ! " Just the way she rolls... I'm thinking cloning her... Very funny though, I have had several girlfriends that were like that.
  13. Wow, Were you on a track or just on some lonesome road? I bet from the back it was quite a show.

    FDA help

    We filed an injunction against the FDA today..... :~) I'm sure that will make them Happy. Thought we should do it to them before they do it to us.... Better to be Offensive than Defensive... It only cost as much as a new Catherham to get started.... Yea.... just to get started..... Kind of makes you sick to think of all the resources it takes just to try and stay in business and fight my own government to be free... And we wonder why American manufactures are moving out and taking jobs..... We are going after the FDA on several counts of constitutional violations. Not that they or the courts even know what that is anymore. Even though they take an oath to support it...

    Eddie Hill

    I hope when I am 74 that I am that cool. Nice selection of fast toys... The Atoms that run at Hallet are smokin fast. We have been invited to come run with them several times. Atomfest 09 record held by Eddie was 120.6 seconds on slicks. That's rollin. Faster than most of the sport bikes that run there. I say Atoms are fast.... but I think 7's are faster... I heard that a particular 7 named Mojo Ran at Hallet in 07 on street tires and an open Diff (1 wheel wonder) and turned 94.6 seconds. Of course the guy driving was 1/2 Eddie's age and probably 1/2 as smart....

    FDA help

    Thats a good one.... My Wife wanted to rename them "FDA Rebellion Torches".... Then if they asked us why anyone would buy them?.... We could look at them say, We just don't know.... (FDA) What is there intended use? To... Light the way...
  20. THAT is TOOOO COOL.... Makes me want to go wear out a set of rear tires...
  21. We were able to get Ron Paul to write a letter to them... We shall see how that works.

    We have 3 other Congressmen that are waiting to see his letter then they said they will do the same... Thanks for all the good info. Kevin

    FDA help

    Thanks Guys, We really appreciate all the kind words and support. We filed an injunction against them on Friday. So we will see where this goes. It is really cool to be part of a group that can do more that just think outside the box..... For years I did not even know about this thing call the Box, let alone that I was not supposed to think out side of it... I guess that is why we drive sevens.... No boxes.... Thanks again... I'll update this thread on occasion to let you know how it is going.
  23. That is what they call a 3 axes motion system. It would be way more effective if you had it enclosed so you did not get visual cues from your surroundings. Pretty dang cool though. I spent 18 years working in the in the world of flight simulation. I have worked on Simulators that cost more than 30 million... Those are very real... If you are serious about building one let me know I'll share what I know..
