That is Dale's qualifying run in **O\BVGALT, 160.737 in the 2-1\4.

We should talk about having you run and edit www.flatcadracing.org, if you're interested!

Check out these really cool wrench set holders Pops29 made!

My wife stole this one from me, to use as a key hook.

Thanks again Pops! Contact Pops29 if you'd like to order one.

Wow! Great video!

Congrats on all the hard work and its payoff.

 

Such an amazing achievement with such an amazing engine!! Congrats again!! A lot of hard work paying off here. Don't know anyone that deserves it more. Love the videos too!

 

Buddy, Are you or anyone from your group going to WoS? I can send the transmission up with the roadster.

 

man, it really is an eery but beautiful place to race. The view through the windshield really brings it home.

 

Congrats, on a job well done

 

Patience Gr***hopper, Patience!
I promise it will be worthwhile!

 

The Ohio Mile was a big learning experience, engine wise. We had been taking little steps all year long, and Sunday I decided to roll the dice. Much to Dale's consternation, I decided to run the engine HARD, with a max tune on. 16lbs boost, shut the rev limiter off, and told Danny to drive the effing car to 6000. Dale was very hesitant, but I said something like "Eff it- we built it to race, not take pictures of!"

Unfortunately, I thought we could pull the 2.96 gears in the mile, and have a speed of 169. Wrong-the track is just too short! I should have left the 3:08's in there. Danny drove the wheels off of the car, and crossed the finish line in 3rd gear, at 152.592 mph, and 6100 rpms.

The engine sounded like an angry herd of water buffalo! So, we know the engine has a LOT of potential left, if we make the right tweaks to it this winter.

....and Dale, we won't run it like that again!


..........Unless we have to, to make 200mph!

So, we ended up with 2 records- Dale set the record in **O/BVGALT at 138.696 mph, and Danny set the **O/BVGCC record at 152.592 mph.
