New Requirements for D12 Fast Electrics

[Chilli]

Due to numerous complaints of Fast Electrics being too quiet at district races, the District 12 director has mandated the use of a device that will replicate the sound of a internal combustion engine during a heat. I was tasked by Don to develop the technology and after a brutal 15 minute R & D process :blink: came up with what I now call "The Finch Device". The Finch device will be required at all future D12 races.

Should be A's & 8's if your running against the "Professor" There's a dude in the NW that's putting a Merlin sound card in his 1/6 scale elec. That should be awsome.

[moparbarn]

a normal playing card will sound like a wet fart once it gets water soaked :lol: . might try an old credit card, but, like don says it might not pass the DB test then........

Chilli that looks like the 392 Hemi version wheres the V12 Merlin version or is that still in R&D. You guys are too funny!!!!

 

[Chilli]

Steve, I was working on the Merlin version and tried to get district funding for the project. When I asked Don at the Chesapeake race if the district would cover the R&D costs. He stated the district needed to keep a minimum amount of cash on reserve for the next two weeks. I asked him 'why for only two weeks'? I didnt quite understand his response, but I do remember hearing the words "Hobart" and "Bail Money". :huh: Anyway, he pulled a tattered "Michaels" gift card out of his wallet that ended up only having a balance of $3.25. So thats as far as the project got.
