    Tighten your seat belts and hold on. The Rons Hobby Shop Special is going to make its fastest p*** so far. The run is taking place at the Loring Timing ***ociations meet held in Limestone Maine. The supercharged gas burning 295 cube Flathead in the measured mile runs 172.661 MPH setting a new record.

    When he shut it down at the end I swear it sounded like a jet plane landing, tire squeal included. Are the rules the same there as for Bonneville? Thanks for posting.

    Rulebooks for SCTA [El Mo/Bonneville], ECTA [Wilmington], and LTA [Loring] are very similar but with subtle differences.

    Hi Ed, yes I figured out what was wrong, everything will be good to go for September. I'm working on the front end I want to reduce the scrub radius that should help the handling a bit.
