very cool ERA video
I wish it had subtitles. You think these guys had some fun making this video? Probably used up a tank or two of fuel, too.

Yeah - they heated the tires up a little there. Nice to see some ERA appreciation so far away.
Just noticed the medium blue one they shot up on a lift has BF Goodrich tires. Interesting if the dark blue and red one they were wringing out had the same.

That's great I hope Bob and Peter know about it and have had it translated. Looks like they had a good time making it and some good footage. Funny the Webered car is the one that's not rich and smokey.

Kudos to them for driving the cars hard. But like Mickmate said, jeez is that blue car running rich. I'll bet he's at 10:1 AFR. Hope he doesn't wash a cylinder.

I think that may be one of those rare two stroke FE's

Look at the lines

Feel how smooth the ride is

Listen to how brutal the motor sounds
This car is not for the faint of heart
OH LOOK GODZILLA, quick get in the cobra
VVVVVVVVAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM

great video, interesting music soundtrack too, steppenwolf, fogerty, U2 to name a few. Surprising that china isn't gobbling up our cobras at a faster rate.

Looks a bit blue to me, and mostly when he lifts off and shifts. Is that rich or do the valve stem seals need replacing? |

I agree with you Cycleguy. That's the point I was making with my smart aleck post. I think there may be issues a little deeper than carburetion.
