[QUOTE="Kansas Bad Man, post: 51204, member: 778"] In keeping with the thread, more on the evolution of marring Black Lightning's two twins and getting them to enjoy each other's company. The first try was with standard triple row chain. Using the lessons learned with the sampling device, the front engine leading the rear by 12 degrees (close as I could get) worked long enough to do a little testing and make it to the salt. Don Vesco was to ride the liner. We arrived with a small crew, few in the Vincent community even knew the liner existed. The Vesco team's TURBINATOR was Vesco's primary ride and rightfully so, he was back in southern Cal. taking care of loose ends on the car as he was trying for a wheel driven record and was hoping for a 500MPH trip down the salt. That gave us time to start the liner a few times, destroying the standard chain. I made a call to Vescos shop and Sonny's shop and made arrangements for a chain from Sonny's shop be brought to the salt by the Vesco team. Wouldn't you know it, the chain was for a Norton, a bit to long. what to do , finally Big D out of Texas who was running the twin engine Triumph had a spare master link for the chain . We fixed the chain, Vesco made a couple of half passes, smoked the special V2 clutch I had made out of Australia, that put us on the trailer on our first bout with the great white dyno. (more later) Max excuse the sp [/QUOTE]
