Wahoo! Are those engines big or what?


And with that zig-zaggy thing going on at the back of the fan shroud,
I bet she'd make a grand orange juicer! (if you don't mind waiting
two years for a $250,000 glass of OJ...)

Quoting Doug:

"This is a highly modified "KR-2S" The KR series began in the '70s by
Ken Rand at a company called Rand Robinson Engineering. The "2" stands for
"two place" -- which this one is not. The "S" stands for the stretched
version of the original KR-2. The "S" model is also beefed up to carry
larger engines, and is stressed to 7.5 g's positive and negative."
