Paul,
Good year for Team Steadfast this year at Reno.
4th in Unlimited Gold proves the turtle can outrun the rabbit! This was a
case of reliability and not having issues bringing in a good starting
position that became critical when the final race was canceled due to very
high cross winds. The finishing positions were determined by the starting
grid. If the race had been run, Voodoo and Galloping Ghost would both have
gone right around us and we would have finished 6th, assuming no mayday's
ahead of us (we know there would have been at least 1).
Sport and Super Sport had a bad rash of blown engines..... as in 5 blown
engines, one ending in the loss of the Thunder Mustang. Thankfully George
walked away from the wreck.
Look for us to have a 3 rotor entry in sport class in 2013 (I did get the
rules changed to allow us to run under the SCCA displacement calc rules, so
less than 650 cubic inches).
Larry
The Thunder Mustang motor is one and a half of a Ford or Chevy V8.
What does one expect ? :)
