I think the timer difference would be the difference from the normal 60' time and the false one, if it is known to be a good launch. (not spinning)
.160 seconds difference in this case. Take that from the reaction time, could be the real RT. Was he that late? (.160 or so) You probably left just right after he did, if so. Take that .160 and add it to each of the wrong times, to get what it probably was. Also did he cross before you? (about 3 feet) With all of these errors, surprised they didn't have someone check things out.

Well done. Thanks for doing this. We were there for 3 days and I bet I only saw half of the cars featured. Lots of beautiful Pontiac iron at this event.

Ran the lakester again at the local tenth-mile dragstrip Sunday, with more appropriate gearing. Once more it ran with no issues. Turned 85.3 MPH at 7,100 RPM, which is getting closer to where I want to test the engine.

85 MPH in 528 Ft. is a HUGE improvement over what it had run! I am sure you could feel where the engine finally began to make some boost and power. About what RPM did it seem to come to life? Do I remember right that the target RPM is over 8000 somewhere? I bet it sounded totally different than at Norwalk when it got into it's happy RPM range. Did it prime and start much better? Any video of the test this past weekend? Your getting there.

John- no Bonneville plans. Probably just east coast pavement LSR- Arkansas mile or Maine 1.5 mile.
Mike- Yeah, I want to test that it runs okay at 9,000+. I still had to use part throttle until car speed exceeded clutch lock-up, a little over 5,000 RPM, at which point it ran clean at full throttle. I wish I had looked at the boost gauge, but I got a little concerned about the rough pavement and no rear suspension! Yes, priming and starting is back to normal. But I'm still "searching" for a fuel setting for engine warm-up that doesn't guzzle huge amounts of methanol. I'm getting closer- only about 2 gallons total for Sunday's warm-up and run.

No recent video. The frame I posted above is from a facebook video which is still online (search for "South Butler Nostalgia Dragway"). It's of my first-ever run, with way-too-tall gearing.
