Hey EVerybody

I’ve finished up the little 6″ motor that I’m doing for the NEDRA’s Late Night Nationals 8/25-8/26.  I just talked to Roy and he’s decided to raffle it off like Chip did for Power of DC.  Now this isn’t just some motor, but is a motor rescued by John Wayland himself from the scrapyard.  So I’d like to give a big thanks to Plasmaoy Racing (AKA Wayland motor dumpster diving) for helping to sponsor this motor.  I’ve in turn thrown a little love on it and I hope that it might bring in a few bucks for NEDRA as well as find a new home. 

This motor started out life as a 24 Volt Prestolite drive motor from a Crown palletjack.  This is the same motor size as Father Time runs on Frakendragon as does Shawn and Matt on the YellowJacket pocketbike.  Nothing to fancy but big enough to have some fun with.  I crammed in larger brushes (never know who’s gonna win it) for that extra amp pounding ability.  I shaved the ears off the DE plate and added some extra mounting holes.  When tested the motor ran at 4825 RPM’s at 10.5 volts to the terminals at 30 amps and was smooth as glass 8^ )  I’ll call the voltage range on this motor from 24 - 72 volts (of corse FT’s throwing 120 on a 12 volt version)   

So here’s a chance to come help support NEDRA, support the racers, support this fine track thats generator free this year, and maybe come home with a little goody that I’m sure most here could find (or build) a good home for 8^ )  If you’re flying in, pack light cause you might be 50 lbs.ish (maybe 40ish) heavier on the return trip.  You’ll never know if you don’t go!  Anyway here she IS
