Saw owens ( h.d.) in top fuel final against t.c. christensen's dual engined norton called " hogslayer " at ontario motor speedway back in 76. The norton easially walked the h d with the front wheel 6" off the ground the whole way- " riding the wheelie bar the whole way down the 1/4 mile.😫
Wonder if he ever tried to twingle those, like some dirt trackers did for traction? Meaning pistons fire right after one anouther instead of alternating every other stroke, essentially making one long stoke, and then staggering the dual engine setup so as to keep the v-twins 2 power stokes out of 4 stokes for traction. Or does this run like any 4 banger, meaning every stroke out of 4 is a power stoke, or 2 staggered v-twins make a 4 cylinder?
...Another guy waaay back when....Marion Owens.....double engine Harley, running blower and Nitro.....ended getting banned due to the blower....track owners said the bike was too dangerous....!
