Lou Madsen sent me the papers for new records in the C/U class for the 1/8 mile set at Wilkesboro. I forwarded the information to Ryan for posting. 8.4946ET 86.47MPH

Thanks, Seymour! Nice to fill out some of these open records, eh? Maybe Nitti can come and kill that record at CC?

I know the car can go a lot faster, but I think the exh gaskets from the Dutra Duals to the exh piping are leaking pretty solidly now. At least they lasted longer than the copper ones. Probably going to do some upgrades and reworking over the winter, or at least replace the gaskets.

Best,
Lou

Interesting, the wilson racing caculators says this is "expected". Take a "stock" 140hp engine, boost it with 11psi and you get your results, or close enough.
