And that my friends is why Indy outlawed turbine cars after Andy Granatelli ran his STP car. I would love to see the drivetrain and how the power was transferred to the wheels.

And, most of those cats weren’t wearing any hearing protection. My ears are ringing a few decibels higher just watching the videos.

Weren't quite as noisy as a flight deck during launch or recovery but it IS NOISY. I was actually in the stands at The Milwaukee Mile and got to see and hear the S T P Turbine car of Granatelli run there. Towards the end of the season they instituted a rule change for the turbines by severely restricting the intake size effectively killing them off. One year I got to see and hear-Milwaukee-an Arfons Green Monster jet car do a demo run down the front straight. Barely touched afterburner do to length limitations of the front straight cuz the car wasn't built to turn.  RIDE SAFE. |
