WE DID IT!!!

Tuesday we tried our best to run the new motor only to get a best speed of 99.979mph and shortly after lost a motor due to low battery voltage, ignition system going goofy, leaning out the engine, and losing all compression on cyl3.

Installed the backup motor in 2 hours, added a second inline fuel pump, cut front spring by 1.5 inch to reduce frontal area.

First run yest ran a 104.041mph on a 103.996mph record. Second run did a 105.551mph. That qualified us for the record. Today in the morning we backed up our run with a 109.554mph, giving us an average speed of 107.2xx for a new record.

We were not satisfied. We out again and ran a 111.048mph. Tomorrow morning we need to back up our record first thing in the morning and pack up and go. If everything goes well, we will set a new record of 108.5xx over the old 103.996mph.

Today we had a top exit speed of 111.558mph.

GREAT SUCCESS!!!

Next year we are running the J-PRO(750cc production class) and J-GALT(750cc Gas Altered aka allowed spoilers and diffusers). current record in J-GALT class is 106.4xxmph so we already beat that too technically.

If we lower the car another 2" and add spoilers we can do 115mph range i think
