Puma Engineering have completed the engine and pod assembly of their unique blown parallel nitro twin for delivery to its new owner, Norwegian rider Hans Olav Olstad, where it will be fitted in the previously supplied rolling chassis.
The engine is a 4.5" (114.3mm) bore and a 3.23" (82mm) stroke, 102.7 cu/in (1683cc) DOHC 4 valve per cylinder parallel twin.
The barrels and heads are separate from each other (unlike Per Bengtsson’s `Beast' parallel twin) and the crank is effectively two individual single cylinder cranks co joined by a spline and sleeve assembly. Another unique aspect is that the primary drive is gear driven, rather than the more usual belt and pulleys.
It is hoped that the bike will be on track for the first time at the season opening European Dragbike Championship round at Santa Pod on Jubilee weekend.

MTC ENGINEERING INTRODUCES THE V-ROD SLIDER
Tuesday, January 31, 2012
MTC Engineering has been developing a new slider clutch for the Harley Davidson V-Rod motorcycle. MTC has had a multistage lock up for over 10 years but has not had the opportunity to develop the slider until this year. Since the V-Rod and its special edition V-Rod Destroyer are becoming more prevalent in the multi-classes they run, we have had multiple requests for the slider application.
MTC teamed up with BlackCat Motorsports from Clearwater, FL to help develop the slider and test it on the track. Mike Marsh’s team gave us a motor to work with and provided installation feedback on the first install. “Working with BlackCat Motorsports has been a pleasure. They have documented all phases of the build and provided good feedback on improving the product” said MTC president Eric Hochstetler.
The V-Rod slider is designed around the same concept as other MTC sliders. This slider required a replacement of the stock inner hub to a billet hub with the clamping surface at the bottom of the basket and required a larger opening in the stock cover with a quick access billet dome including a bearing support.
On BlackCat’s 1st test outing, driver Clint Riley equaled his best ever 60ft times and with deadly consistency. Team BlackCat Motorsports using the MTC prototype slider clutch won the AHDRA Cajun Nationals P/G class and at the AHDRA Finals in Rockingham were able to run back to back 8.38 and 8.39 et’s with 2 passes over 162 mph making it the quickest and fastest v-rod powered ¼ miler. Team owner and tuner Mike Marsh accredits much of their success to the tunability and durability of the slider clutch. Marsh describes the slider as “the great equalizer, a durable piece designed for racing at all levels”. Bracket racers will now have the ability to race off a button utilizing a crossover delay box, like their Japanese competitors and give the heads up races repeatable clutch engagement, eliminating driver error.
If you have any questions concerning the sliders performance, feel free to contact Mike at 727-461-4404.
MTC is preparing to go into production on this product. If you have an interest in this product, please let MTC Engineering know so that the production quantities are sufficient. Your interest is not a commitment to buy but a market test.

K&P Engineering is announcing the release of two new products aimed at the racing industry. The new S11 and S12 filters are Extreme Duty versions of the S1 and S2 high performance filters that are already well known in racing circles. A strong, high flow reinforcing core adds strength to the removable filter element for those applications that create high amounts of debris. The extra strength helps prevent physical damage and adds to a user’s ability to accurately “read” the debris layers that can accumulate on the surface of the filter media.
