    Thanks for the detailed update and great video.

    The easier you continue to make it look is a direct result of the ever increasing amount of planning, time, effort, and sacrifices that you and the team dedicate to make all the record results happen.

    A big congratulations to you and your entire team for the very successful Speedweek !

    Awe inspiring! I haven't heard a flatty sound like that ever, and the RPM you are getting and holding is at once amazing and cringey.
    I tried to get out to the salt over a decade ago, and ended up injuring myself on the way and had to cancel and return home.
    Any comments on this year's conditions?

    Thanks @ronnieroadster !
    The video is amazing, and the flatty running at 6500 RPM consistently, is a feat to be proud of, and the element of ( I assume ) just 3 main bearings holding it all together, most impressive !
     
  23. Nice and thanks for the ride ! Congratulations to all your team !

    3 main bearings.....and watching the needle on the tach......was first and foremost on my mind.

    Wow! What an amazing achievement! Old Henry would be proud. He said 4 cylinders was enough, but if they want a big engine we'll given em' 8!
