Contest Question #5

[Precision Auto]

Okay - I know that I said the last question was going to be the last question, but I couldn't resist another one!

Winner gets (2) tee shirts (Nextel Cup/Craftsman Truck/Modified Tour)

This is a two part question, and my one rule is that when you guess, you have to have the two parts of the question in your post. I'll let you know if you have one part right (but I won't tell you which one is right!!) LOL

1. What was the smallest horsepower number Norm made on a single dyno run..........and

2. What type of engine was it?

I will give you a hint: we don't just dyno racing engines; i.e. we do street engines, drag engines, marine engines, go karts, midgets, etc.

This is fair game for everyone, even those who have won previously.

Happy guessing.........and good luck...........Linda :help:

Congrats to Kyle Mac........

The engine that made 85 HP was from a 1950 Chevy 6 cylinder truck.
Just your plain old restored truck....the owner was curious about the HP.

So Kyle: Please e-mail me at: Mrmrsmotor@aol.com I need:

1. Your name
2. Your address
3. Favorite Nextel Cup or Modified Driver
3. Size for tee shirts (2)
4. Size for sweat shirts (1)

Again, way to go... :applause: .......Linda and Norm

Good job, Kyle, I'd have never gone to that idea. And I once owned 2 different '55 Chevies, 6 cyl, no horsepower, cars, LOL.

Happy New Year
