Streetable and beyond

Just a rationalizing of illogical hobby options and outcomes after point of no return - is a dragster land speeder or high strung road racer streetable? Some do some don't but boy howdy some of those that do! My P!! was a doll to baby around city but couldn't lean to turn 4 lane intersections so with an off idle blip I'd leap to center then still rolling no brakes nail throttle a bit then chop to spin and swing rear around 90' till it hooked-stopped the swing then nail it more carefully straight up out of there. Burns outs didn't need no front brake and took some care to avoid till over 60's. Its addicting fun. Seen plenty of racers puttering about in pit lanes to see most of them could be street or off road ridden then have to stifle wheeelies on launches. Shoot Jim Schimdt public test bed is essentially a full racer with lights and tag. Jim Comstock assured me that a 360' Norton will start and idle fine if with a lope even on wild cam so think I will be pleased to eventually be able to do parking lot stunts yet tip toe up wet grass and not stall out.


Jim Mosher's Indian "Twin-Scout" Bonneville Racer who leaves tag on to rub it in on his only competitor, a dual Triumph.
Watched him idle about on grass and sand just fine at Lake of the Pines.

Jim Mosher also showed off his new one off de stroked 1200 to 1000 Leverda with excessive carbs, ports, valves and exhaust.
Had tach marked 3500 to 8500 use range and Jim hardly let it below 3300 to warm up on it stalled. Just sounded nasty and raspy until 5000+ then wicked nasty raspy roar. He said it was unstreetable and needed some throttle blipping clutch feathering skill to move it around camp. You can get a sense for it and other high tuned vintage racers here.
