Oop's.

But he still got a bunch of free publicity out of it. Imagine that.

I read the follow up info and in there it states that the engine contains an aluminum crankshaft. I have never heard of such a thing. Is this a misprint? Does this type of engine not usually require some sort of hardened forged steel crank?

Its part of the "NHRA Wheelie Package" they are promoting. :LOL:

An aluminum crank would probably last less than a minute.
