      Yes, when not speed was the premier concern, but stopping the cars as brakes were only rudimentary! A doctor friend of my fathers showed me a book of old racing car injuries from the 1920's of men who had come to grief on the old wooden course at Brooklands who has great big splinters right through them!

      A few years ago - I read about what I think was a local fatal drag race. The man who died was an older man. He pulls up to a younger guy and revs the engine or however drag races start. The light turns green and they both go. I like to think the old man won, but he lost control of his car and crashed into some trees in a single-car accident. He died about a week later. The other driver did not flee. He was charged with drag racing, and they may have added homicide to that since it was an illegal race. He was charged, but I don't remember if it went to trial or what the outcome may have been. But I thought, how awesome is that. The old dude went out on his own terms; he was in his 80s. I'm sure it was not pleasant, especially for his family. But I've seen the alternative, people who have lost their minds and identities in a hospital until they die of bed sores. Go old dude, go!

    • @lloydevans2900
      @lloydevans2900 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep, that's called the "decompression method", and was used for large displacement engines with huge cylinders such as this one. The problem with such large engines was that turning them over with all the valves operating as normal required far too much torque, which in turn would need a ridiculously large starter motor and an even more ridiculously massive battery to power it. So to get away with a more normal sized starter motor and battery, the engine was fitted with a lever which would hold all the exhaust valves open, while the intake valves still operated as normal, so the engine would still draw fuel/air mixture into the cylinders, but not compress it at all.
      To start it, you would pull the decompression lever while the starter cranked the engine over, getting it spinning fast enough for starting, then you would suddenly release the lever, causing some of the cylinders to immediately regain compression, and that would start it. A similar method was sometimes fitted to cars with more normal sized engines which also had a hand-cranked starter, to make the engine easier to turn over by hand. In that case, the starting procedure was basically the same, just with hand-cranking the engine instead of an electric starter motor.
      Another method of starting large aero piston engines was the "inertial starter", which used a big flywheel which could be engaged or disengaged with the engine. The flywheel would be spun up to high speed while disengaged, either with a small electric motor or with a hand-crank. Once the flywheel was turning fast enough, it would be engaged with the engine via a reduction gearbox, using its stored kinetic energy (aka inertia) to turn the engine over fast enough to start it.

    That 1935 Duesenberg Model J Special was, to me, "The Cream of the Crop." Saying that in such supreme beautifully handbuilt company is a mouthful, but she is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, to the nth-degree. In a world of cars that are full of mind-blowing electronics, the elegance of a handcrafted masterpiece of yester-year touches some of us in a way words can't describe.

      That particular "doozie" had a curtiss conquerer v12 from a curtiss condor put in it for a while, and progressively larger tailfins, until they built a new chassis just for the aero v12 and broke even more records. With its dohc i-8 reinstalled and was used on the road for years by a progression of owners. Both cars still exist. There was no middle car, the first car had 2 different motors and two names.

      Yeah that sounded wrong. The Fiat s76 with the 28.3 liter engine makes 300 hp and 2000 ft-lbs of torque. But that is because its a 28.3 liter 4 cylinder, obviously the torque would be off the charts. But this car has a 16.5 liter 6 cylinder so while the power might not be far off, the torque would be substantially less due to the differences in displacement and stroke.

      I imagine the statement comes from this video:

      Where the owner of the car says the vehicle is making around 3000 pounds of torque
      "At the rear wheels"-
      Which depending on the gearing, wouldnt be surprising.
