German Singles Drag Race

[San Arthur]

I wish I was near you so I could enter my 1953 R25/3 in this race. It is capable of beating the average riding mower. The factory claimed 13 hp for this model, but with about 2,000 miles on a totally rebuilt motor it developed 7.11 hp on a dyno. Yet even with this limited power it can do about 65mph solo, and 50mph with my Steib LS200.

You are welcome in the next edition of this super sonic event!!

The thought of an R25/3 on a dyno just makes me smile! Hard to believe that the machine would even work for something that small and would it even be that accurate at the low end of the scale?

I had the same thought hahahaha

This must have been interesting. Kevin Reimer's R 27 would have done well.
I still have'nt gotten my little R 27 yet.
You were in serious US Border Patrol country. Stations at Alpine and Marfa.
As a former INS Special Agent, know the area....

THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE. It was packed with INS agents and State Troopers, you should join us next race.
