Best so far: 5.50 @ 127 MPH, was down on power, but we found the missing horsepower (was too rich, added a high speed lean-out) and should be in the low 5's or high 4's next time out, and our goal for next year with the Nitro motor (injected NITRO) is low 4's.
I grew up in Ft Lauderdale, Florida (actually Cooper City) and was friends with an Andrew Casselberry, any relation ??

Sunshine is an 1/8 mile track right. Yeah I can see if you clean-up the lost HP issue, you should be in the 4-5's easy.
