It’s a small world

Filed under: Car Stuff

Digging through some old photos on the server today, I came across some that I shot at SevenStock a couple of years ago. As you might guess from the name, SevenStock is an event centering around the Mazda RX-7 in particular, and rotaries in general. Why these guys had a table full of tiny, working piston engine models on display there is anybody’s guess, but I thought you might enjoy them nonetheless.

Yup. A V8 with a tiny, working Roots blower.

The plaque on the base reads, “OHV V8 Challenger, 6.3 Cu. In. 103cc, Built by Ken Hurst & Dwight Gilles, First Pop March 14, 2003.”

This one says, “Built by Ken Hurst, V8 Challenger, 103cc, First Pop Feb 28, 2000.”
