Bob - this guy has spent more money on his toys than I'll ever earn in a lifetime, and he's probably 30 years old...

There's a guy on the Aust Club Forum that's building his motors now, but I would suggest that he's broken more motors than any other guy that I've ever met, or been told about.

I once saw him over-rev his 500ish cube methanol blown big block to the point of near destruction doing a burnout at the drags. Sure enough, the motor let go during the race, kicking a conrod out before 1/3rd track. He drove it all the way through the finish line, all the way back along the return road and into his pit area - leaving a trail of oil and water the whole way. Not to mention what a broken conrod and a lack of oil is doing to the few good remaining parts inside the motor....
