At any rate this years event was excellent, weather was as perfect as it can be in August, lots of great cars. The signs of the times and economy were apparent with less sponsorship support. The goody bags did not have a lot of goodies, and the Bank of America drawing for cash and hotel stays were no longer there. The place was quickly becoming a ghost town by 1 p.m. on Sunday. In past years there were still doings going on on Sunday. Looking forward to next year already

Here are a couple of twin turbo LS Motors, both were extremely well done. The first is a 65 Chevelle, very plain Jane looking, great sleeper. Sorry no picture of the car. He said it was a sleeved LS6 block bore out to 388 cu in. I wonder about the maniforld and fuel rail though.
And a custom '53 Studebaker, that I like a lot, but I'm prejudiced. It is a 454 cu in LSX block
And a couple for fun
Wagon runs and hauls the mail!
Twin turbos blowing into a roots blower on top of a tunnel ram. It was driving around.
Machine guns have bullets running through them

We had quite a debate about that. Some thought the turbos did not have impellers in them and one guy was betting there was a carb inside the blower housing. They guy who was driving said it all works, but he had a pretty good poker face. The car had a lot of neat design features including the alternator being driven by a belt and pulley off the pinion shaft. No charging when moving slow or idling, but he had a huge series 30 battery.

1) I can see if the Blower could not keep up with the amount of air the turbo is pushing, the change would blow out through the carb ! as I don't see a waste gate or anything to prevent it between the carb and the inlet from the turbo charge. !?!?!
2) What is metering the air/fuel charge from the turbo ? just straight air ! could be a very lean condition ?
3) Could be just dummy turbo's ?
