Photos from PRI show, Orlando FL.

Post by agrabau » Sun Dec 13, 2009 7:27 pm

We just got back from the Professional Racing Industry Show in Florida. Pete and Paddy went down also. It was a bummer that we didn't get to hang out with them too much. We met with some friends at IA TEC Japan and will be trying to do some business with them soon. I'll be adding some description for the technical photos soon. I hope you enjoy them.

Photo 1 is indeed a carbon strut with a carbon piston as well. It's made by Dome in Japan. Dome is an enormous and highly advanced carbon fiber and aerodynamics facility that produces world class race cars.

Photo 2 is a Cummins diesel engine with 3000ft lbs of torque and 1500hp.

Photo 3 is a Bugatti Veyron Block and cylinder head.

I figured that was a diesel..a strong diesel..but 3000ft.lbs of torque? :shock: :shock: Wouldn't Nate like that! :wink:

That block is a work of art. I can only imagine the crankshaft.

Thanks for the snaps! :P
