Haven't even worked in a machine shop since the late 70's, but when the good gears and chains came out the gear drives became just more leftover parts laying on a shelf in the parts room. I doubt anything has improved on gear drives other then there's a whole generation who now think the whine is kewl and harmful harmonics in an engine is just some geezer dream. For me, gear drives are a case of been there, done that, ain't goin' back. If you want your engine to whine like it has a blower then BUY A DANG BLOWER!!!!!!

It has been getting harder to find it.
The gov. is trying to control the manufacturing of BS spray.

No, that was the year my "trike" ran 9.40's.
Of couse I was only four at the time.
I was also the jr. crew chief for Donny Garlits that year.

Hey, now there's a new marketing pattern!!!!! Start selling blowers for "the same sound as a gear drive"!!!!!! The "whiney sound" guys should just jump all over that thing!!!!!!

How do I make sure the drive-in crowd hears my lumpy cam over the sound of my gear drive whine? Is there some sort of adjustable muffler available?

- If'n ya cain't kill it, ya might's well jine in . . .

well how do your hear the lumpy cam over the blower over the 4 inch ex thats not easy but i got that down.

SOLD the injection stuff today. If yer' lookin' for that gear drive sound without all the harmonics, the blower is still available, don't know how long though. Come N' get it. "gear drive in a box"
