Why hasn't gas tunnel taken off like gas mono or cat ?
Hi Mike, I respect your views on gas tunnels, and accept that to a varying extent, your comments are true.twice the cost and a little fragile, they break a lot of parts, and are hard to get consistent, and heavy as hell.
I am building Tunnel, cost is a factor in any hobby. My last hobby was very costly DragBike Racing. So when i order parts now it's $30-40-50-70-100. Instead of $400-700-1500 or more. Fuel $85 5gal tire $250 Nos refills on a big refill bottle $67. It's Hobby it should be fun for you. If a Tunnel looks like fun so be it, some people jump out of air planes and pay to do that and call that fun.Im just trying to decide if i want to build one or not
Mike,Just my experience, yours may vary, spent a lot of time with them and never felt like it was worth trying to race it. Blow one over at 60+ and you will break some parts.
I just retired from promod dragbike racing so i very very well know the cost .what series did you run we ran mirock and i tuned kenny Cornnell to a championship in the 4.60 class .had to stop because im allergic to rubber
Hi Michael . I have run with NHRA Summit Pro-Star MDRA PSCA class I ran in was Top Gas . I raced all over the South West Carls-Bad Pomona LACR Tucson Speedworld Sac The Strip in LVI just retired from promod dragbike racing so i very very well know the cost .what series did you run we ran mirock and i tuned kenny Cornnell to a championship in the 4.60 class .had to stop because im allergic to rubber
so i should hold on to mine a lil longer then ron?Mike,Just my experience, yours may vary, spent a lot of time with them and never felt like it was worth trying to race it. Blow one over at 60+ and you will break some parts.
These gas tunnels have come a long way in just the last three years. We have figured out what was breaking shafts and how to better protect the other parts in a blow over. The class is growing like crazy. Stay tuned.
Pm me. I will give you his phone number.waiting on a reply from carl as to when I will receive my gas thor. our first race is February 28 march 1. time is getting short. hope it is soon.
