Post subject:  New motor,good news,bad news
Went to the track for some runs tonight,Only got two runs before I had major problems.They kicked me out for going too fast.
First pass was a 7.35 shifting at 5,000 for the break in.Second pass I got a 1.513 60 ft,shifted at 6,000 and ran a 7.258 at 91.73.They pulled my wrist band and sent me to tech.I now need a roll bar,certified belts,and a raceing jacket.
I never thought the car would bee this fast.VERY HAPPY.Guzzi Mark

Sounds like the new motor is a BIT strong......
Time for more safety gear, and now what are you gonna do to get the weight back down???

Woo hoo! A roll bar and belts won't add too much weight.

Penial reduction should offset the added weight.Guzzi Mark

Holey moley. Great work, Mark. Figure 0.1 sec or so off for rollbar and belt weight, then 0.1-0.2 sec drop for tuning. 7.teens or 7.twennys...

That is one of the fastest NA gasoline cars out there! IIRC, Seymour has run around 7.35-7.40 in his racecar? Has Mike run that fast in the Buzzin' car on gas? Several folks have gone faster on alky, but not gas that I can recall.

Lou is right, Guzzi is flying! I have run 7.19 on gas but with considerably less weight and a $3,000 transmission. His engine is at least 5% better than my best on his second run! Pay attention to what he has done, this is a break through time slip. Is Mark still running Clifford shorties?

An 8 point bar 1 3/4 will add about 80 pounds. A 10 point cage 1 5/8 about 100 plus, ( mild steel) thats only a tenth loss but may gain that back in performance. Great to hear its running ,all jokes aside we are all pulling for you,you have dedicated a lot of energy and funds and the results are showing.

Mark, I know there were several threads about your engine/car.... can you put the package run down in one spot? I think that would be helpful for a lot of people.

Again, hats off.
