A bunch or 20's hipster-fucks racing on a beach, thinkin, they;re all cool and shit.

That's unbelievably autistic

The P-38 first flew in '39. So with a flathead they'd better let this in.

This fits the rules,

I think...

If it rolls off the beach it also just becomes a submarine!

Get's a thumbs up from me.

willies jeep with a simple 2-lobe roots blower set up in a pull through configuration.

>Car
Probably a T-bucket or period midget racer. Lightest is bestest.
>Engine
Offenhauser. Biggest you can get away with, lose some compression to run it on leaded race gas. Bonus points for an 8:1 static CR combined with a big Roots blower.

>All entrees must be pre-approved and must comply with the spirit of the event.
They're a bunch of wankers then.

>*If you want to enter a pre ‘53 six or twelve cylinder motor and your car is approved, you can run as exhibition only.
Fuck it, strap two Allison V12's behind each other, with a '32 shell in front and a T bucket behind it.

...

I think they left a loophole in there for jet engines.

Fuck you. You're just salty that your horse shit prewar V8s would get sand in the face against a proper engine. What a bunch of autismal fucks.
